Glassnode data shows that USDC, the second-largest stablecoin, has a market cap of $32.2 billion. However, its market share has declined from a peak of almost 38% in July 2022 to 22% currently. This shift indicates changing trends within the stablecoin ecosystem, as investors show a growing preference for USDT.
Following USDC, DAI holds a market cap of $5.3 billion, maintaining its position as a reliable decentralized stablecoin. TrueUSD (TUSD) and Binance USD (BUSD) round out the top five with market caps of $503 million and $70 million, respectively.
