Since the beginning of the year, the volume of stablecoin transfers on the Solana blockchain has reached $303 billion. This figure has already surpassed the December 2023 value of $297 billion and has grown 26.2 times compared to January last year ($11.56 billion), according to Artemis.
Stablecoin transfer volume surpassed $367 billion for the week of January 8th.
This notable growth can be attributed to the $USDC transfer volume on @solana, which has propelled stablecoins to reach their highest transfer volume levels in over a year. pic.twitter.com/jpitEHXPxn

Analysts attribute this significant growth to a surge in interest in USDC on Solana.
The blockchain’s share in stablecoin circulation has increased to 32% from 1.2% a year ago.
The upward trend began in October 2023.
Ethereum remains the leader in the segment. In January, the figure stood at $317 billion with a share of over 33%. Tron holds the third position with $240 billion.
According to Artemis, weekly stablecoin volumes across all networks have reached an annual high.
