Stablecoin supply shrinks by $14b in a month
Stablecoin market cap currently sits at $290b, down $4.5b over the last week and the lowest total market cap since September 2025.
The last two weeks of outflows are the largest net outflows in over four years. Flows are negative on the year, on pace for the largest year of outflows since ‘22.
Which stablecoins and chains are seeing the largest outflows?
When stablecoin supply grows, more stables are being minted than redeemed. Supply is shrinking because holders are redeeming stables for dollars.
USDT is responsible for more than half of the mcap decline. USDC represents 20%.
Despite the decline in supply, stablecoin market share is mostly unchanged. USDT still accounts for 60% of all stablecoins in circulation, USDC accounts for 24%. Ethena’s USDe gained 0.39% to 1.71% share of supply, and Sky’s USDS lost 0.36% share.

The outflows are hitting stablecoins proportionally, but they aren’t hitting chains proportionally.
Most of the outflows come from Ethereum, whose stablecoin supply is down 6% over the last month. Solana’s supply is down 8% over the last month. Both chains lost another 3.5% this past week.
At the start of 2026, Ethereum’s share of stablecoin supply was 54%. Now it’s 46%, it’s lowest share ever. Tron’s share has grown this year from 27% to 32%.
2026 is the first year that stablecoin volume was above $1t each month. Stablecoin volume is already 25% higher than 2025 with more than 45 days left to go.
Most stablecoin volume happens on Ethereum.
Which protocols have the fastest growing holders revenue?
Block Builders and MEVs had large fee-earning days during the Binance hack. Flashbots had its largest fee day since 10/10 and Titan Builder had its largest day since March.
Filtering for protocols with minimum 30d fees of $10m, Morpho and Spark both saw double-digit fee growth while their tokens fell. Curve, Lighter and ORE all grew holders revenue over the last month.

DefiLlama now verifies Noon’s offchain reserves
Today we’re launching a Verified by DefiLlama dashboard for Noon Capital.
DefiLlama identified & verified every wallet and DeFi position holding Noon's reserves and watches each one. Any change in balance or any drawdown shows on the page as it happens.
Noon’s reserves sit largely offchain. DefiLlama reads balances from an independent third party and verifies the private credit reports against positions weekly.
Users and institutions can see how each source was checked, when it was last confirmed and what cadence to expect while protocol records and positions remain private.
If updates are missed, they are marked prominently. We don’t verify anything we can’t confirm.
Verified by DefiLlama provides independent verification of offchain reserves, stablecoin backing, vaults, financial statements, and more as part of our mission to provide transparency & accurate DeFi data.
If your company has offchain reserves or financial statements, reach out below to get Verified by DefiLlama.

It's official: Democrats will control both chambers of Congress from January 3, 2027. That's a clear shift from the last two years, when Republican majorities ran both the House and the Senate and steered crypto's market structure bill through the House. That shift could change things for crypto.
When an underlying protocol gets hacked, depositors absorb the loss. Firelight, a cover protocol on Flare incubated by Sentora, pays out to vaults when a protocol they deposit into is exploited, using capital XRP stakers lock up in exchange for fees.
