Ethereum Stablecoin Value Hits All-Time High of $180 Billion

The onchain value of stablecoins on the Ethereum network has reached an all-time high of $180 billion, according to blockchain analytics firm Token Terminal.

Ethereum holds 60% of the stablecoin supply at $180 billion, which is up 150% over the past three years, the firm reported Tuesday.

The company projected that around $1.7 trillion is expected to come onchain across all networks over the next four years and that Ethereum could see $850 billion in โ€œnew flowsโ€ by 2030, if it grows 470% in that time.ย 

Standard Chartered predicted in late 2025 that more than $1 trillion may exit banks and flow into stablecoins by 2028.ย 

Ethereum has been the dominant network for stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), with major financial institutions such as BlackRock, JPMorgan and Amundi launching tokenized funds on the network as the total stablecoin supply across all networks reached a record $315 billion in the first quarter.ย

Momentum supports bull cycle driven by tokenized assets

Real-world asset metrics provider RWA.xyz reports a slightly lower figure of $168 billion in stablecoin value on Ethereum.

It also confirms that Ethereum is the industry leader with a market share of 56%. This increases to over 65% when EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) and layer-2 networks such as Arbitrum, ZKsync Era, and Base are included.ย ย

The data highlights Ethereumโ€™s dominance in stablecoins and onchain liquidity, โ€œfueling strong positive sentiment and cryptoโ€™s recent rally,โ€ Nick Ruck, director of LVRG Research, told Cointelegraph on Wednesday.ย ย 

โ€œThis momentum strongly supports a sustained long-term bull cycle driven by tokenized assets and institutional adoption, though competition from rival chains, regulatory hurdles, and macro volatility remain key roadblocks to further upside,โ€ he added.
