Stablecoin market expansion scrutinized by DWF Ventures following approaching market cap of $300 billion
In a recent report, DWF Ventures, the venture arm of web3 investor and market maker DWF Labs, has shed light on the growing trend of yield-bearing stablecoins in the decentralized finance (DeFi) market. The report, which focuses on the growth of these stablecoins since January 2024, notes a 120% increase in their capitalization.
The report highlights several projects developing yield-bearing stablecoins, including Sky, Ondo Finance, Usual, and Resolv Labs. These companies are gaining traction due to their innovative application of DeFi financial services such as staking and loans, integration with blockchain ecosystems for seamless payments and low transaction costs, and strong tokenomics that drive demand and value through staking rewards.
Furthermore, these firms are focusing on bridging online and offline payment processing, leveraging decentralized peer-to-peer transactions, and creating comprehensive digital marketing and CRM platforms that enhance user experience and ecosystem engagement. Such business models and technology integration have been critical growth drivers in these firms' expansion within the stablecoin and DeFi markets.
Notable among the yield-bearing stablecoins is Falcon Finance, which has become one of the fastest-growing with $1.8B in circulating supply and 59K monthly users. Other players in the market, like Ethena with its USDe stablecoin, have also made significant strides, with USDe becoming the third largest stablecoin by circulating supply and market dominance at $13.7B and 4.65% respectively.
However, the dominance of USDT and USDC in the stablecoin market is unlikely to be challenged in the near future. Yet, yield-bearing stablecoins are capturing market share, with their growth serving as a key bridge between crypto and TradFi.
Yield is sourced differently between projects, with options including deriving yield from real-world assets, staking yield, protocol revenue share, and our website yield. For instance, Resolv sources yield from staking and funding rate arbitrage, Sky uses governance integral to its USDS stablecoin, and Ondo backs USDY by short-term US T-Bills and bank demand deposits.
As the total capitalization of the stablecoin market approaches $300B, market leaders in the stablecoin market are predicted to be defined by their ability to scale alongside the market, provide sustainable and high yields to users, and unlock greater capital efficiency across multiple assets and asset classes.
The report concludes by emphasizing the evolution of stablecoins as a key bridge between crypto and TradFi, and the potential for yield-bearing stablecoins to reshape the financial landscape. As regulatory clarity and institutional capital seek opportunities onchain, the growth of yield-bearing stablecoins is expected to continue.
