Solana<\/a>-based USD Coin (USDC<\/a>) transaction volume surpassed that of USDT<\/a> on the Tron<\/a> blockchain, according to data<\/a> from blockchain intelligence platform\u00a0 Artemis.<\/p>\n

Data from the platform shows that Solana USDC transfer volume reached more than $60 billion on Jan. 1, while that of Tron USDT was around $34 billion.<\/p>\n

Stablecoins Transfer Volume (Source: Artemis)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This continues a trend observed in December when Solana USDC's monthly transfer volume was nearly that of Tron's USDT. Per Artemis data<\/a>, Solana USDC saw $24.58 billion in volume, while Tron's USDT was $6.54 billion.<\/p>\n

USDT and USDC are the top two largest stablecoins by market capitalization. These stablecoins account for nearly 90% of the industry supply and trading volume.<\/p>\n

Circle's CEO, Jeremy Allaire, expressed excitement at the milestone, noting that it was only the beginning of the year. Circle is USDC's issuer.<\/p>\n

\n

“Incredible! \u00a0What's even more incredible is that it's only Jan 2nd, imagine where we'll be a year from now,” Allaire said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

CryptoSlate\u00a0<\/em>had previously identified<\/a> that Solana-based USDC contributed a significant portion of trading activities on decentralized exchanges. At the time, Allaire stated that 90% of all stablecoin transaction volume on Solana was USDC.<\/p>\n

Solana's thriving ecosystem<\/h2>\n

Solana's blockchain ecosystem is enjoying a resurgence<\/a> that has helped it regain a pole position within the crypto industry.<\/p>\n

The blockchain ecosystem has experienced significant growth despite its past connections with Sam Bankman-Fried, the embattled FTX founder. This development has led to an influx of new users and crucial partnerships <\/a>with major global financial entities such as Visa and Shopify.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Solana's DeFi sector has witnessed remarkable expansion<\/a>, resulting in an unprecedented surge for its blockchain-based tokens like Helium's HNT<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Data from CryptoSlate<\/em> shows Solana's native SOL<\/a> token closed last year as one of the top-performing assets, up more than 850% to a peak of $120. However, it has retraced to $98 as of press time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
