Stablecoin Competition Heats Up: What Binance’s $150B Threshold Means for Altcoins

Stablecoin Pair Trade Volume on Binance Especially after the U.S. Genius Act was approved, weekly trading volume, which was around $150 billion in January 2025, peaked above $203 billion in July 2025. As of the current Fed week, it has returned to around $150 billion. Market Shares Over the year, USDC’s share in the market, which was around 5%, has climbed to 13.58% in the latest data. On the other hand, USDT, which started the year with a strong dominance at 69.2%, is now hovering around 63%. In the current breakdown, FDUSD holds a notable 23.3% share. When looking at Binance’s data, stablecoin volumes surpassing $150 billion tend to have a positive impact on Ethereum and the broader altcoin market. Conversely, in periods of declining stablecoin activity, we observe negative performance across altcoins. All of this highlights the growing competition in the stablecoin sector, which ultimately benefits end-users. Moving forward, if Binance stablecoin volumes can once again climb above the $150 billion mark, we can interpret this as a positive signal for the altcoin market.
