CertiK’s 2025 Stablecoin Report Reveals the 5 Most Secure Tokens in the Game
As stablecoins go mainstream, the race for trust and security is heating up — and CertiK’s latest report shines a spotlight on who’s winning. With global stablecoin settlements surging 43% in just the first half of 2025 — totaling $1.39 trillion — it's clear adoption is booming. But behind the scenes, the pressure is on. Exploits, depegs, and operational mishaps have exposed growing risks across the ecosystem. That’s why CertiK’s Skynet scoring system, which evaluates each token’s security, governance, and resilience, is now more relevant than ever.
Leading the pack is Tether’s USDT, scoring an impressive 94.72, thanks in part to its robust operational track record and aggressive expansion — growing circulation from $138 billion to $154 billion in just six months. Right behind is Circle’s USDC, clocking in at 93.37. Backed by a MiCA license and fresh off a successful IPO, USDC has increased its supply from $41 billion to $61 billion and earned the title of the fastest-growing major stablecoin. With institutional trust on the rise and security more critical than ever, these stablecoins aren't just holding their pegs — they’re setting the standard for safety in crypto’s most crucial corner.
