Stablecoin Market Data

Stablecoins have grown from a crypto-trading tool into real settlement infrastructure. This page tracks the numbers that matter: total supply, transfer volume, who issues the dollars, and which blockchains hold them.

The 2026 story is usage, not supply. Total supply has hovered around $291B all year, yet the activity on top of it keeps compounding: Allium measured adjusted transfer volume up 48% and payment transfers up 71% in the first nine months of 2026, while stablecoin card spend roughly tripled in a year. The same dollars are simply moving more often. Follow the shifts as they happen in our stablecoin news, see which companies have launched a stablecoin, or track the listed stablecoin stocks such as Circle.

Card spend is the fastest-growing use of stablecoins outside trading: about $1.37B in October 2026, roughly three times a year earlier. RedotPay is still the largest program by lifetime volume, but most new growth comes from ether.fi Cash and KAST, which together carry about 69% of the spend that can be measured on-chain. Behind the brands, Rain is the largest issuer: independent tracking by @0xVishnya counted $584M spent on Rain-issued cards in October.
