Stablecoins Strengthen Positions: Wallets Grow by 53%, Supply Reaches $225 Billion
Stablecoins continue to strengthen their position in the world of digital finance, showing consistent growth in 2025. According to analytical platforms Artemis and Dune, from February 2024 to February 2025, the number of active stablecoin wallets increased by 53% — from 19.6 million to 30 million. Simultaneously, the total supply of these assets grew by 63%, reaching $225 billion. This rise reflects the increasing interest in stablecoins as a reliable tool in the volatile crypto market.
The joint report "State of Stablecoins 2025: Supply, Adoption, and Market Trends" highlights key changes over the year. The 53% increase in active addresses indicates an attraction of new users, including retail investors and institutions. This is further facilitated by the ease of using stablecoins in decentralized finance (DeFi) and their integration into payment systems. The monthly transfer volume grew from $1.9 trillion in February 2024 to $4.1 trillion in February 2025, an increase of 115%. Over the year, stablecoins facilitated transactions worth $35 trillion, peaking at $5.1 trillion in December 2024.
The total supply of stablecoins increased from $138 billion in February 2024 to $225 billion in February 2025, equivalent to a growth of 63%. Their peg to fiat currencies, predominantly the US dollar, provides stability, making them in demand for storing funds and settlements. The average transaction size remained almost unchanged — from $676,000 to $683,000, but spikes to $2.6 million in May 2025 indicate the activity of large players, likely institutional investors.
Stablecoins are becoming a link between traditional finance and cryptocurrencies. Their growth is driven by the development of blockchain infrastructure and trust from users. Analysts note that stablecoins are increasingly used for cross-border transfers and as liquidity in DeFi protocols. However, experts warn that further development may slow down due to tighter regulation and concerns about issuance coverage.
The 53% growth in wallets and 63% supply increase confirms that stablecoins have secured a strong place in the digital economy. In 2025, they could become a driver of mass adoption of cryptocurrencies if regulators provide clear rules. For now, their success signals a transformation in finance, where stability and accessibility come to the forefront.
