3/ Stablecoins move far more value in transfers than in DEX trades. YTD transfer volume is ~$5T. September MTD: ~$340B transferred vs ~$29B traded on DEX.
P2P — wallet to wallet, no router — is ~57% of September transfer volume. It was ~20% in February and ~42% in June. More of the dollar layer is moving as payments and treasury, not just swaps.
USD1, PYUSD, USDG, and USDe now have real market cap. The open question is still the same: can they take share of activity, not just float? On the tape, USDC's grip has tightened, not loosened.
