  • Sky’s USDS outshone everyone else with a 9.57% weekly rise, swallowing $779 million like a financial Pac-Man.
  • Tether remains the kingpin with 58.04% of the market at $184 billion. They’re planning a full financial audit, which is like checking if the Monopoly money is real.

Stablecoin Market Logs Another Week of Inflows

The dollar-pegged crypto market is apparently determined to break records for the most boring numbers ever, now crossing $317 billion, according to defillama.com. Tether (USDT) continues to lord over the scene with a 58.04% share, its weekly growth a thrilling 0.03%.

Tether, in its infinite wisdom, has decided to undergo a full financial audit, which is like hiring a detective to see if your couch cushions actually contain quarters. USDC, meanwhile, has slipped 0.39%-a scandalous drop, at least if you’re really into tiny decimal points.

Rounding out the top five is Sky’s DAI, showing a healthy 2.99% growth. And if you’re counting, USDC had the harshest tumble with a 0.39% dip, sending $304 million packing. These five coins account for 87.1% of the total $317 billion, proving once again that in the stablecoin world, a few divas do all the heavy lifting.
