Inside The Blockchain
🌐 What happened: Aptos’ stablecoin supply rose 20% over the last 30 days to $1.8 billion, as transfer volume increased 10% to $55.7 billion.
🌐 Why it matters: This growth comes amid a breakout year for stablecoins in 2025 — total market supply surged 50% throughout the year to $310 billion.
Stablecoins are a critical liquidity layer for any blockchain, as they enable payments, trading, DeFi and cross-border settlements across crypto and traditional finance.
Aptos’ stablecoin supply growth aligns with broader trends, signaling rising confidence in the network as a settlement layer. Meanwhile, the uptick in transaction volume shows that the capital is actively moving, supporting real economic activity rather than remaining idle.
Throughout 2025, Aptos integrated three new stablecoins: USDe, USD1, and USDG0. USDe, with more than $93 million in bridged amount to Aptos, introduced a yield-bearing stablecoin designed for trading and DeFi strategies. It’s designed to incentivize higher velocity through lending and liquidity provisions. USD1 and USDG0, the interoperable version of USDG’s $1.51 billon stablecoin, both are backed by US Treasury Bills, and so serve to expand Aptos’ use for compliant payments.
Following the Trump administration’s passage of the GENIUS Act in mid-2025, establishing a regulatory framework for stablecoins, networks like Aptos are now better positioned to attract institutional participation and mainstream adoption.
🌐 The big picture: As stablecoins continue to emerge as one of crypto’s most widely adopted use cases, networks that can scale transaction volume while attracting significant stablecoin liquidity are well positioned to be relevant in the long term.
Aptos’ recent growth points to its expanding role as a settlement layer for onchain dollars, reinforcing its appeal to developers, users, and institutions seeking efficient blockchain infrastructure.
