According to reports from The Block, a new report from Finery Markets shows that stablecoins accounted for 74.6% of institutional OTC trading volume in the first half of 2025, higher than the 46% in the same period last year and 23% in 2023. USDC performed particularly well, with trading volume increasing 29 times year-on-year driven by the EU's MiCA regulations.

Institutional trading shows three major trends: overall OTC spot trading volume increased by 112.6%, stablecoin trading volume grew by 154%, and trading volume between cryptocurrencies and stablecoins surged by 277.4%, far exceeding the 48.5% growth rate of fiat currency pairs.
