Ethereum Stablecoin Activity Surges Despite ETH Price Drop

Ethereum's stablecoin activity surged in the first quarter of 2025, despite Ether's (ETH) significant price drop in the stock market today. The network processed over $3 trillion in stablecoin transactions, with the total supply surging by over $30 billion.

The number of unique stablecoin addresses on Ethereum crossed the 200,000 mark in March 2025, indicating growing adoption. At the peak in Q1, the market capitalization of Ethereum-based stablecoins reached over 221 billion USD, driven by the top 10 stablecoins on the platform.

Tether's USDT dominated stablecoin trading volume, accounting for approximately 79.7%. Despite this activity, the overall crypto market cap fell by 19% during the same period, with ETH experiencing a steep 45% price drop in the ethereum price. Analysts suggest a 70% probability of crypto markets finding a bottom by June 2025, as investors park funds in stablecoins amid macroeconomic uncertainty, including U.S. tariff concerns.
