As pointed out by ARK Invest’s new quarterly report, the stablecoin market has witnessed comprehensive upsurge over this year.

Specifically, $PYUSD has jumped by 135% while $USDe has recorded a 68% rise. On the other hand, $USDT’s 89% dip and $USDC’s 93% plunge have pushed them back in the stablecoin ranking.

This broader stablecoin pump has become a key fueling factor behind the wider crypto narrative. The report discloses that increase in Ethereum’s dominance in the stablecoin sector has played a critical role in this stablecoin spike. Thus, the cumulative stablecoin supply share of Ethereum has risen from 51% to nearly 55%.
