Recently, the landscape of the stablecoin market is quietly changing. In the past three months, the on-chain synthetic stablecoin USDe has emerged with astonishing rise, becoming the focus of the market. This emerging stablecoin developed by Ethena has grown even faster than traditional market leaders USDC and USDT.

Meanwhile, USDS, as an upgraded version of DAI, is also showing strong development momentum. It is worth noting that DAI, the predecessor of USDS, is also experiencing a rise in market share within the stablecoin space. This phenomenon seems to indicate that decentralized finance (DeFi) is returning to the market mainstream, with stablecoins as its vehicle.

However, alongside the rise of emerging forces, the former market leader USDC is facing significant pressure. Although USDC attracted users with high subsidies after its launch, its market position is now being challenged.

This series of changes reflects that the stablecoin market is undergoing a profound transformation. Emerging on-chain synthetic stablecoins are gradually winning user favor with their unique advantages. Meanwhile, traditional stablecoins are also continuously innovating to cope with the changing market.

As the importance of stablecoins in the DeFi ecosystem becomes increasingly prominent, the evolution of the market landscape in the future will be worth continuous attention. Whether emerging forces or traditional giants can stand out in this transformation will depend on their ability to continuously innovate, meet user needs, and maintain a competitive advantage in terms of security, liquidity, and other aspects.
