In contrast, Circle’s USDC experienced a modest decline of 1.48%, shedding just over $909 million during the same period. As of this weekend, USDC holds a market cap of roughly $60.606 billion. Among the top ten stablecoins, the standout performer was First Digital’s FDUSD, which advanced 15.94%, adding $192 million in value.
Sky’s DAI and Ethena’s USDe followed closely, with monthly gains of 14.44% and 14.78%, respectively—securing the second and third spots among the top stablecoin gainers. USDe now commands a $5.357 billion valuation, while DAI trails slightly at around $4.712 billion. The leading ten stablecoins at present are USDT, USDC, USDe, DAI, USDS, BUIDL, USD1, USDTB, FDUSD, and PYUSD. Outside of USDC’s modest dip, the only other decline in the group was Sky’s USDS, which fell 15.77% over the past month.
The shifting balance among leading stablecoins signals a broader recalibration within the sector, hinting at evolving market preferences and liquidity strategies. As capital allocation continues to fluctuate, these movements may foreshadow deeper changes in user confidence, issuer resilience, and protocol utility. Market participants will likely watch upcoming trends closely, searching for signals amid the quiet recalibrations within the fiat-pegged token economy.
