Ethereum posted a record-breaking quarter as stablecoin transfer volumes on the network crossed $8 trillion in Q4 2025, data from Token Terminal showed. The figure marks an almost twofold increase from the second quarter, underlining Ethereum’s growing role as the backbone of global digital payments. Stablecoin issuance on Ethereum climbed nearly 43% during 2025, expanding from $127 billion to $181 billion, according to BlockWorks.
This growth aligned with a sharp rise in network usage. Daily Ethereum transactions hit an all-time high of 2.23 million in late December, while monthly active addresses reached 10.4 million. Unique daily active addresses also crossed one million, highlighting deeper user engagement.
Ethereum continues to dominate the stablecoin ecosystem, accounting for 57% of all stablecoins issued, with Tron following at 27%. The network also leads real-world asset tokenization, holding roughly 65% of on-chain RWA value, a figure that rises above 70% when Layer-2 and EVM-compatible networks are included.
