USDC hits $60B market cap, sets new record

The USDC’s record-breaking surge underscores the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies. But despite USDC’s impressive growth, Tether’s USDT still dominates with a $144 billion market cap. ๐Ÿค‘

In March 2024, USDC’s market cap was around $30 billion, but with the surge in crypto adoption, it has doubled, marking a 100% increase in market cap. ๐Ÿš€

Can USDC challenge USDT?

However, in terms of growth over the past three months, USDC has outperformed USDT. During this period, USDC has added $16.60 billion to its supply, whereas USDT added only $4.70 billion, as reported by Artemis Analytics.ย 

Despite this 100% surge and impressive growth over the past three months, Tether’s USDT remains in high demand and isn’t fading anytime soon due to its strong liquidity and widespread adoption. ๐Ÿ’ธ

Meanwhile, Circle has proven that it can climb further and provide tough competition in the coming days, backed by various trust factors that appeal to institutions, such as fully backed reserves, regulatory compliance, and institutional partnerships. ๐Ÿค

As a result, the USDC’s role in the cryptocurrency space is growing day by day. ๐Ÿš€

In addition to all this, Circle’s USDC appears to be expanding globally to showcase its capabilities. ๐ŸŒŽ

The USDC was officially launched in Japan through a partnership with SBI VC Trade and is expanding into Asia’s growing stablecoin market. ๐Ÿœ

It has also upgraded its cross-chain protocol, making USDC transfers on Avalanche [AVAX], Base, and Ethereum [ETH] much faster, reducing wait times from minutes to seconds. โฑ๏ธ

These advancements enhance USDC’s efficiency, making it a stronger contender in the global stablecoin market and DeFi transactions. ๐Ÿ’ช

This is not the only record the stablecoin market has witnessed today. ๐Ÿคฏ
