Stablecoin expansion could drive the next cryptocurrency rally: CryptoQuant
Quick Take CryptoQuant says that the expansion of stablecoins over the past year could drive the next cryptocurrency rally. A report revealed that, in 2024, stablecoin transfer volume surpassed Visa and Mastercard’s combined transaction volume.
A new report from CryptoQuant highlighted that the expansion of stablecoins in circulation is likely to be a key driver for the next cryptocurrency rally.
Liquidity conditions in the crypto markets, as measured by the total value of stablecoins in circulation, have experienced a boost since the U.S. Presidential election, according to the CryptoQuant Weekly Crypto report.
"Historically, growing liquidity via stablecoins is associated with sustained gains in crypto markets," CryptoQuant analysts said.
Data from the report showed that the total market capitalization of stablecoins recently surpassed $200 billion, reaching a new all-time high of $204 billion. This marks a significant growth of $37 billion since Nov. 4, 2024, when Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election.

The report attributes this growth primarily to Tether’s USDT , although Circle’s USDC has also regained momentum. The data showed that USDT deposits on centralized exchanges has risen from $30.5 billion on Nov. 4, 2024, to $43 billion today, a 41% increase.
"The total value of stablecoins is an important source of liquidity for trading on exchanges and its expansion is generally associated with higher crypto prices," CryptoQuant analysts said.
