Ethena‘s USDe and World Liberty Financial’s USD1 come next with market caps of $5.95 billion and $4.61 billion, respectively, though both posted declines of 1.88% and 2.29%. Sky‘s dai (DAI) remains a major contender with a $4.50 billion market cap and a 2.08% weekly increase, while Paypal’s PYUSD sits at $4.18 billion with a slight 0.39% dip this week.
Closing out the top ten are Blackrock‘s BUIDL at $2.53 billion (up 1.94%), Circle’s USYC at $1.99 billion (up a notable 8.12%), and Falcon‘s USDf with a market cap of $1.62 billion and a steady 0.07% seven-day change. The week’s figures show a stablecoin sector that continues to draw fresh capital while competition among issuers quietly intensifies.
With more than $313 billion now circulating, fiat-pegged tokens remain one of the most widely used instruments in the broader digital asset economy. Dollar-linked coins still dominate the sector, reflecting persistent demand for blockchain-based liquidity tied to the U.S. currency. At the same time, other fiat-pegged coins are attempting to enter the fray.
As inflows continue and market shares shift, the race among stablecoin issuers shows no signs of slowing in 2026.
