USDC Surpasses $6.5 Billion in Stablecoin Growth

The latest data from Artemis shows a significant shift in stablecoin flows during the first part of 2026. USDC has emerged as the clear leader, with a $4.5 billion net increase in supply through March.

This marks a substantial rise compared to other major stablecoins, including USDT, which recorded a net decline of approximately $2 billion. The contrast between these two tokens is striking, with USDC's growth far outpacing the decline of its competitor.

The data suggests that USDC is benefiting from strong demand, as new capital enters crypto markets and seeks dollar-backed assets. This trend is reflected in the token's position as the leading source of fresh on-chain dollar liquidity this year.
