Ethereum’s Stablecoin Surge: A Record-Breaking Q4
Stablecoin transfers on the Ethereum blockchain alone account for over $8 trillion in the last quarter of 2025, a new record has been set, Token Terminal reported on Monday. The $8 trillion figure is nearly twice as much as the volume for the second quarter, which was slightly over $4 trillion, as per the chart by Token Terminal.
On the other hand, the supply of stablecoins on ETH has grown by approximately 43% in 2025, going from $127 billion to $181 billion by the end of the year, according to BlockWorks.
Ethereum’s Network Activity Reaches New Heights
Daily transactions on the network hit a record of 2.23 million in the last days of December, while active monthly addresses reached a new high of 10.4 million. The decision to combine Ether’s smart contract capabilities with a well-tested infrastructure has resulted in it becoming the most dependable settlement layer for stablecoins and RWA tokenisation.

Ethereum Leads in Stablecoin and RWA Market Share
Ether network is still the main settlement layer for stablecoins and real-world asset tokenization, holding roughly a 65% share of the total RWA on-chain value, which is about $19 billion, as per RWA.xyz. When layer, 2 and EVM networks are factored in, that market dominance goes beyond 70%.
At present, Ethereum accounts for 57% of the total market of stablecoins, while the Tron network is the runner, up with a 27% share. Tether USDT $1 is still the market leader in terms of issuance with $187 billion, representing 60% of the entire stablecoin market, and a little over half of that is on Ethereum.
