Ethereum-Based Stablecoins Hit Record Adoption with 750K Weekly Users

The adoption of Ethereum-based stablecoins has reached a remarkable milestone, with over 750,000 unique weekly users actively utilizing these digital assets.

This surge highlights the growing utility of stablecoins such as USDT and USDC in global payments and financial transactions. The increase in adoption is a testament to the Ethereum network's role as a backbone for stablecoin transactions, offering scalability and efficiency that traditional financial systems often lack.

The rise in unique users is not merely speculative but also driven by real-world applications. Stablecoins are increasingly being used for cross-border payments, value storage, and other financial activities, making them an indispensable tool for users worldwide.

More detail, the Ethereum stablecoin market remains dominated by USDT, which has a massive supply of $73 billion, and USDC, which holds $41 billion in supply. Together, they account for approximately 85% of the $134 billion stablecoin market on Ethereum. Other stablecoins, such as DAI and PYUSD, contribute to the remaining $20 billion.

Tether CEO Predicts AI Agents Will Use Bitcoin and USDT

In a forward-looking statement, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has predicted that artificial intelligence (AI) agents will play a significant role in the digital economy within the next 15 years.

Speaking on the potential of blockchain technology, Ardoino stated, "I believe that in the future, every single AI agent will have a wallet, and it should be a self-custodial wallet. We are going to have 1 trillion agents in 15 years."

Ardoino emphasized that stablecoins like USDT and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin will become the primary mediums of exchange for these AI agents. He also noted that traditional financial institutions are unlikely to onboard autonomous bots as customers, making blockchain-based solutions a necessity.

Currently, USDT remains the most widely used digital currency, with a market capitalization exceeding $157 billion. This dominance, coupled with the increasing integration of AI technologies, positions Tether as a key player in the evolving landscape of digital finance.
