According to the Philippine News Agency (PANews), a report from Artemis in collaboration with Dragonfly and Castle Island Ventures revealed that Tether (USDT) controls 90% of the stablecoin payment market. Tron is considered the leading settlement network, representing about 60% of transactions. Annual payment data for February 2025 indicates a market size of $72.3 billion. Although USDC from Circle has gained market share in the issuance market, it still lags behind USDT in the payments sector. USDT is widely regarded as an alternative to the dollar in emerging markets like Argentina and Brazil, where low Tron costs and high speed make it the preferred transaction chain. $BTC
