Ah, the grand ballet of finance! How quickly the tides turn, dear reader! Once, in the year 2024, USDC ruled the stablecoin world, with its polished elegance and grace, commanding an 85% share of transactions in January, a performance so mesmerizing that it could almost make a man weep with admiration. But behold! Like a fleeting dream, this dominance is now crumbling, and USDT, the upstart challenger, swiftly ascends to claim what was once USDC’s throne. Oh, the irony! The very thing that seemed inevitable has been usurped in but a few short months.
In January of 2024, when the world was still enthralled by USDC’s grandeur, it stood proud at 85%, a monument to success. Yet, by May of 2025, the scales had tipped dramatically, and its share plummeted to a mere 56%. Meanwhile, USDT, that clever trickster, surged with the cunning of a wolf in sheep’s clothing, capturing 43% of the share. But wait—this is not the end of the tale. The plot thickens! Since March, the very volume of stablecoin transactions on BitPay has been dominated by Tether, claiming over 70% of the total. A most audacious rise! 🧐
And here lies the enigma! How, in this grand game, has USDC—despite its vaunted regulatory positioning, its stature in Europe under MiCA, and its illustrious public listing in June—lost so much ground? Meanwhile, Tether, that bold and rebellious spirit, has chosen the path of defiance, refusing the siren call of MiCA compliance and rejecting the prospect of an IPO. A peculiar maneuver indeed. What could such an approach signify? Perhaps, dear reader, it is the willingness to embrace chaos that has brought Tether to the forefront.
But let us not be too hasty in our judgments. BitPay’s chief revenue officer, ever the strategist, reminds us that while USDC may still lead in transaction count (for now, at least), it is the meteoric rise of USDT in user and merchant preference, particularly in Europe, that has reshaped the landscape. Oh, what an unpredictable beast the market is!
USDC’s market cap has nearly doubled over the past year, growing at a faster pace than Tether in percentage terms. Yet, Tether remains the undisputed king of stablecoins, its crown secure by overall valuation. One must wonder—will USDC ever reclaim its former glory? Or is this the dawn of a new era, with Tether at its helm?
Ah, my friends, the drama is far from over. Who will be the true victor in this tale of volatility and ambition? Only time shall tell, but for now, it seems the mighty have been toppled, and the underdog has taken the lead. How deliciously absurd! 🍿
