Since June 10, Solana stablecoin volume have diminished from $74bn to roughly $7bn a day
As mentioned in @WazzCrypto's thread, much of overall volume is driven by 2 sources: MEV Bot 7rhxnL and Phoenix DEX, accounting for ~$1tn of total transfer volume over the last month
The June 10 date corresponds directly with the day MEV Bot 7rhxnL drastically reduced its stablecoin activity
It is reasonable to assume that MEV Bot 7rhxnL operated via one of these sandwiching validators and that the bot's strategy is no longer viable given the undelegation.
In the next week, we'll be rolling out 2 new stablecoin metrics to make it easier to adjust for automated actors:
1️⃣ P2P Stablecoin Transfer Volume (from one non-contract address to another)
Alongside @CastleIslandVC and @dragonfly_xyz, we sourced data from 20 leading stablecoin companies (with public data from 11 more) to answer the question.
A 🧵 on the incredible growth of stablecoin payments
We were able to specifically attribute $94.2 billion worth of stablecoin payments settled between January 2023 and February 2025
Monthly stablecoin payment growth is up 215%, from <$2bn to over $6.3bn
The most popular stablecoin used by sampled firms was @Tether_to , with around 80 percent market share by volume, followed by @circle USDC
We are thrilled to power the onchain insights of "Stablecoins: The Emerging Market Story." Working closely with @Visa and @CastleIslandVC we highlighted:
-A new "adjusted" transfer volume metric
-Stablecoin vs overall crypto growth
-Dollar dominance of stablecoins
As shown above, today, stablecoins are responsible for between 70 and 80 percent of all value settled on public blockchains.
Stablecoin usage continues to break ATHs and has decoupled from the crypto market
-While trading ebbs and flows, stablecoin monthly active users has consistently increased
