USDC stablecoin's market cap surged by $584 million in one week, driving the majority of a $1 billion increase in stablecoin supply. USDC now holds about 24% market share and dominates adjusted on-chain transaction volume with 60-70%, despite Tether USDT maintaining 60% total supply dominance.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

USDC’s rapid transaction volume growth shifts market influence away from Tether, opening payment rails and settlement flows to USDC-focused businesses. You need to rethink stablecoin dependencies and user acquisition strategies with this changing market share.
