与此同时,USDC 已成为去中心化金融领域占主导地位的稳定币。 6 月份,USDC 在 Base 上处理了约 2.6 万亿美元的转账量,是所有代币链对中最高的,而在以太坊上,该稳定币又处理了 1.6 万亿美元。 USDC on Base 6 月份的日流通速度约为其流通量的 20 倍,反映出其在交易和 DeFi 中的广泛使用。来源:沙丘 研究结果表明,传统的 USDT 与 USDC 的说法正变得越来越不那么有用。相反,每种稳定币都在开拓自己的利基市场,USDT 在支付领域占据主导地位,而 USDC 则支撑着大部分加密货币交易和 DeFi 活动。 USDT 的供应量几乎平均分配在 Tron 和以太坊之间,而 USDC 尽管扩展到了较新的区块链,但仍然严重集中在以太坊上。来源:沙丘 这一发现是在这两种数字资产继续主导稳定币市场之际发布的。根据 Dune 的数据,它们合计占该行业约 3150 亿美元市值的约 83%,该公司追踪了多个区块链上的 200 多种稳定币代币。 相关:联合国机构将恒星区块链支付计划推进试点阶段
美国立法者重塑稳定币规则 《天才法案》通过后,稳定币行业在美国获得了发展势头。 GENIUS 于 2025 年签署成为法律,建立了第一个支付稳定币联邦监管框架,为银行和其他公司发行与美元挂钩的数字资产铺平了道路。 立法者目前正在讨论《清晰法案》,该法案将通过定义加密资产何时属于美国证券交易委员会或美国商品期货交易委员会的管辖范围,为数字资产建立更广泛的市场结构。虽然该法案不直接监管稳定币,但它将塑造稳定币发行人、交易所和 DeFi 平台运营的更广泛的监管环境。 CLARITY 于 5 月份获得了参议院银行委员会的批准,并可能在 8 月休会前获得参议院的全面投票,尽管由于立法者时间紧迫,Galaxy 最近将其在休会前的通过几率降至 50%。 杂志:Kraken 价值 6 亿美元的稳定币公司 Huione 丑闻加深:亚洲快报

Dune data shows Tether's USDT has become crypto’s dominant payments stablecoin while Circle's USDC powers DeFi, highlighting how blockchain choice shapes stablecoin use.
The world’s biggest stablecoins are increasingly becoming chain-specific financial products, with Tether’s USDt (USDT) and Circle’s USDC (USDC) serving distinct roles across the crypto ecosystem rather than competing head-on.
Dune’s Digital Asset Brief found that USDT overwhelmingly dominates onchain payments. During the first half of 2026, the biggest stablecoin settled about $95 billion in identified commerce payments, compared with $14 billion for second-biggest USDC. It also accounted for roughly 92% of the $48 billion in business-to-business payment volume. On Tron, USDT’s largest network, around 93% of the token’s supply is held in ordinary wallets rather than on exchanges, underscoring its role as a payment and remittance asset.
USDC, meanwhile, has established itself as the dominant stablecoin in decentralized finance. USDC on Base processed roughly $2.6 trillion in transfer volume in June, the highest of any token-chain pair, while on Ethereum, that stablecoin handled another $1.6 trillion.

The findings suggest the traditional USDT-versus-USDC narrative is becoming less useful. Instead, each stablecoin is carving out its own niche, with USDT dominating payments and USDC underpinning much of crypto’s trading and DeFi activity.

The findings come as the two digital assets continue to dominate the stablecoin market. Together, they account for roughly 83% of the sector’s approximately $315 billion market capitalization, according to Dune, which tracked more than 200 stablecoin tokens across multiple blockchains.

US lawmakers reshape stablecoin rules
The stablecoin sector has gained momentum in the United States following the passage of the GENIUS Act. Signed into law in 2025, GENIUS established the first federal regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, paving the way for banks and other companies to issue US dollar-pegged digital assets.
Lawmakers are now debating the CLARITY Act, which would establish a broader market structure for digital assets by defining when crypto assets fall under the jurisdiction of the US Securities and Exchange Commission or the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission. While the bill does not regulate stablecoins directly, it would shape the broader regulatory environment in which stablecoin issuers, exchanges and DeFi platforms operate.
CLARITY cleared the Senate Banking Committee in May and could receive a full Senate vote before the August recess, although Galaxy recently trimmed its odds of passage before the break to 50% as lawmakers run short on time.
