For More Than 2 Months Stablecoin Market Caps Stagnate Seeing Little Growth
Following the significant climb since mid-2020, the stablecoin economy has seen growth slow during the last few months. In mid-April 2022, the stablecoin economy neared the $200 billion range for the first time in history, but following Terra’s stablecoin fiasco, more than $35 billion disappeared from the stablecoin economy by May 13, 2022. On May 12, 2022, the stablecoin economy was 10.66% larger than it is today at $171.37 billion.
By July 7, the stablecoin economy was down to $154 billion, according to stats saved by archive.org via coingecko.com.
