TRX0.68%
According to Dune's Digital Asset Brief, Tether's USDT settled approximately $95 billion in identified commerce payments during the first half of 2026, nearly seven times the $14 billion processed by Circle's USDC. USDT accounted for roughly 92% of the $48 billion in business-to-business stablecoin volume, with 93% of its Tron supply held in ordinary wallets rather than exchanges, indicating its role as a cross-border payment rail in emerging markets. USDC, conversely, dominates DeFi activity; on Coinbase's Base network, it processed about $2.6 trillion in transfer volume in June alone, while on Ethereum it handled $1.6 trillion during the same period. Together, USDT and USDC account for approximately 83% of the $315 billion stablecoin market.
