US lagging behind in global stablecoin adoption — Chainalysis

Growing demand for US dollar-backed stablecoins and regulatory uncertainty in the US are the key reasons for stablecoins thriving in other jurisdictions.

The United States has seen record Bitcoin activity since the launch of spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs). However, stablecoin adoption in the US has slowed in 2024 compared to global markets, according to an Oct. 17 report from Chainalysis.

US markets have recorded a significant shift in stablecoin activity this year, with the share of stablecoin transactions on US-regulated exchanges dropping from roughly 50% in 2023 to below 40% in 2024.

In contrast, the share of stablecoin transactions on non-US regulated platforms has surged since 2023, breaking 60% in 2024, according to Chainalysis’ latest report on crypto adoption trends in North America.
