Analysts note that monthly payments for on-chain stablecoins have tripled in the past 12 months to $1.4 trillion, with stablecoins accounting for about 50 percent of all on-chain volume. The number of active users per month hit a new high of around 22 million, with the total number of stablecoin wallets with non-zero balances now standing at 120 million.
