Tether commands around 45% of that total, whereas Circle now takes a 29% share as the gap between them closes.

Comparatively, Tether\u2019s supply saw less than a third of that growth with 275% over the same period. <\/p>\n<p>According to the Circle CEO, the stablecoin network saw $2.5 trillion in on-chain transactions and 4.6 million active wallet addresses in 2021 alone. USDC runs on eight different blockchains, is supported by 200 protocols, and can be traded in 180 countries on 34 exchanges. Tether is still the dominant force in the stablecoin ecosystem, but the Goldman Sachs-backed digital payment company Circle is closing in fast. <\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related:<\/em><\/strong><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Tether freezes $150 million in USDT<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As reported by Cointelegraph on Jan. 19, the USDC supply has already flipped USDT on the Ethereum network.
