USDC's Market Cap Sheds Close to $4 Billion in Less Than 20 Days, Binance's BUSD Climbs 3%

USDC's Market Cap Sheds Close to $4 Billion in Less Than 20 Days, Binance's BUSD Climbs 3%

19 days ago, usd coin (USDC), the second largest stablecoin by market capitalization, had an overall valuation of around $48.82 billion and since then, it has continued to deflate down to today’s $44.93 billion. Statistics show that during the last three months, USDC’s market valuation has dropped by more than 19%, shedding approximately $10.59 billion.


USDC Sheds $3.89 Billion in 19 Days, $10.59 Billion in 3 Months


More than $10 billion worth of the stablecoin USDC has been erased from the project’s market capitalization since July 7, 2022. Bitcoin.com News reported on USDC’s market cap sliding much lower on September 28, 2022, or roughly 19 days ago. Metrics show usd coin (USDC), issued by the Centre consortium, is the fourth largest cryptocurrency today by market capitalization and the second largest stablecoin by market valuation, under tether (USDT).



USDC’s market valuation actually rose after the Terra blockchain fiasco and UST depegging incident five months ago, while billions of tethers were removed from circulation at the time. After UST (now called Terrausdclassic USTC) imploded, usd coin’s (USDC) market cap increased by 9%, while tether’s (USDT) valuation dropped by more than $12 billion in two months’ time. In more recent times, USDT’s market cap is growing slowly as it increased by 0.6% during the last 30 days.



However, 30-day statistics show that USDC did the opposite as the stablecoin’s market capitalization shed 10.6%, according to coingecko.com’s top stablecoin stats. Since our last report on USDC’s market cap deflating, roughly 3.89 billion in USDC has been removed from circulation. Since the July 7 market cap of around $55.52 billion, USDC’s valuation has dropped by approximately $10.59 billion in roughly three months’ time.


BUSD Market Cap Swells by 3% in 30 Days, Binance Backed Stablecoin Captures Double the Trade Volume USDC Commands


The news follows Binance and Wazirx auto-converting USDC holdings held on the aforementioned exchanges into the stablecoin BUSD. The Binance-backed stablecoin BUSD has seen its market valuation grow by 3% during the last 30 days.


Out of the top ten dollar-backed stablecoin assets, BUSD, USDD, and GUSD were the only stablecoins that saw 30-day growth. USDD increased by 4.3% last month, while GUSD saw the largest increase out of the top ten after rising 9.7% last month.



There’s still quite a long way to go until any other stablecoin comes close to USDC’s size but BUSD is close to halfway there today. While USDC has a market capitalization of around $44.93 billion, the Binance stablecoin BUSD has a valuation of around $21.29 billion.


BUSD’s market cap represents 47.38% of USDC’s size and BUSD’s 24-hour global trade volume is higher. Today, USDC has around $2.96 billion in swaps, while BUSD commands $6.02 billion in global trade volume in the last day.
