Despite uncertainties in global financial markets, a recent analysis by Matrixport indicates a consistent increase in stablecoin inflows, suggesting a quiet yet significant expansion in the use of these digital assets.
This trend is characterized by steady growth rather than the explosive surges often seen during prior bull markets. Matrixport’s chart from April 15 reveals that capital is flowing into the stablecoin sector, even as stock and bond markets encounter increasing volatility.

The focus on major stablecoins such as Tether (USDT) and Circle’s USD Coin (USDC) points to an expanding user base and growing interest from institutional investors. While some experts caution that this momentum alone may not trigger a significant rally in altcoin markets, it is nevertheless an encouraging sign of the cryptocurrency sector’s evolution towards becoming a less correlated and potentially independent asset class.

Growth in Wallets and Use Cases
Matrixport’s findings align with a March report from Artemis and Dune, which documented a surge in stablecoin adoption. As noted in the report “The State of Stablecoins 2025,” the number of active stablecoin wallets rose by 53% year-over-year, climbing from 19.6 million in February 2024 to 30 million in February 2025.
Institutional engagement plays a pivotal role in this growth, with companies increasingly leveraging stablecoins for real-time payments, settlements, and yield generation within decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. Moreover, the report highlighted a substantial increase in stablecoin supply, soaring from $138 billion to $225 billion within a year—a remarkable 63% increase.
Additionally, monthly transaction volumes more than doubled, reaching $4.1 trillion in February 2025, an increase from $1.9 trillion the prior year, peaking at $5.1 trillion in December 2024. These figures illustrate a landscape of growth and diversification, with average transaction sizes remaining consistent while notable spikes indicate substantial institutional activity. This dual functionality for both individual users and large investors has made stablecoins an essential instrument in contemporary finance.
Regional Developments: Solana and Tron Leading the Charge
Widening the lens, the overall growth of blockchain technology reveals rapid advancements and adoption across various regions. Following the November U.S. presidential election, pro-crypto sentiments from Donald Trump reignited investor interest, prompting a rise in stablecoin deposits across multiple ecosystems. Notably, Solana experienced a substantial influx, with over $1 billion in USDC deposits reported in December 2024.
By January 2025, Solana’s total value locked (TVL) had reached $8.57 billion, representing a remarkable sixfold increase since early 2024. Meanwhile, Tron captured attention in February 2025 with an impressive surge of $824.5 million in stablecoin reserves in just one week.

Tron’s success can be attributed to its dominance in developing markets, competitive fees, and substantial infrastructure for payment transactions. Additionally, other Ethereum-compatible networks, including Base, Polygon, and Optimism, also enjoyed inflows of stablecoins while Avalanche and TON experienced considerable outflows, losing $506 million and $280 million, respectively. Ethereum itself saw a $208 million decline during this period, hinting at a shift in liquidity towards networks that are perceived as more efficient or cost-effective.
For April, SUI blockchain emerged as the frontrunner, recording the highest stablecoin inflows among all blockchain platforms, with an increase of $18.1 million in just the past 24 hours.

A significant trend is the growing reliance on stablecoins in emerging markets. Research supported by Chainalysis and Visa reveals that stablecoins are surpassing Bitcoin in pivotal regions such as Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, where they are utilized for savings, remittances, and business transactions in contexts marked by currency devaluation and unstable economic conditions.
A survey conducted across Nigeria, Indonesia, Turkey, Brazil, and India highlighted that stablecoins are crucial for financial inclusion, representing a vital first step for millions towards access to digital finance, offering stability and services often unavailable within traditional banking systems.
While Matrixport’s latest data may not forecast the next significant bull run, it contributes to a growing narrative about the maturation of the cryptocurrency ecosystem. In light of rising geopolitical tensions, stablecoins continue to establish themselves as important instruments for digital transactions and financial empowerment.
