$USDC

Trading volumes continue to grow: in April 2025, $21.9 billion in turnover was recorded on centralized exchanges, and the monthly volume exceeded $219 billion — twice as much as in January 2024. USDC already holds about 24-25% of the stablecoin market and is reclaiming positions from USDT.

The main driver has been support from the U.S.: the Senate approved the GENIUS Act, which legally requires 100% backing and regular disclosure of reserve composition, potentially increasing trust in USDC and solidifying its role as an infrastructural part of crypto-finance.

Forecast: USDC will continue to maintain its peg to the dollar, with further growth in usage in fintech, DeFi, and international settlements. Continued growth in volumes and tightening regulation will strengthen its position. Possible fluctuations are limited, but keep an eye on regulatory changes and global monetary-financial policy.
