In early January 2026, stablecoins’ share of the total crypto market reached an all-time high of 10.19%, with their combined market cap holding above $300 billion for three consecutive months. After fluctuating between 7% and 9.8% in prior growth phases, their dominance rose sharply from mid-2025, alongside a near $400 billion drop in overall crypto value. The latest figures highlight a near doubling of stablecoin market share in under a year and underscore their growing role as a core liquidity and risk-management tool in digital assets.
