Recent data from blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain highlights a remarkable $1.16 billion increase in stablecoin issuance on the Ethereum and Tron blockchains over the past seven days.
This surge reaffirms the dominant roles these networks play in the stablecoin market.
According to the snapshot shared on January 13, Tron witnessed a $592.16 million rise in stablecoins, primarily USDT and USDC, during the week. Meanwhile, Ethereum recorded a close $573 million increase in the same period. These figures underscore the significance of both platforms for stablecoin issuers and users alike.
In addition to Ethereum and Tron, Solana emerged as the third blockchain with the most notable growth in stablecoin issuance. Other blockchains such as Avalanche and Arbitrum ranked 14th and 15th, respectively, in terms of stablecoin activity. While these networks saw comparatively smaller increases, the data reflects growing interest across the broader ecosystem.
Ethereum’s well-established DeFi ecosystem and robust smart contract capabilities make it a preferred choice for stablecoin issuers seeking access to decentralized applications and liquidity. On the other hand, Tron’s emphasis on scalability and low transaction costs appeals to users aiming for fast and economical transactions.
The increasing stablecoin issuance signals rising demand for digital assets that offer price stability. With Ethereum and Tron accounting for the lion’s share of activity, their ongoing innovation will likely shape the stablecoin landscape. Meanwhile, emerging blockchains like Solana and Avalanche are positioning themselves to capture a slice of this growing market.
