Aptos stablecoin supply surges in December on macro tailwinds

Aptos’ stablecoin supply has climbed meaningfully in December, rising about 20% over the last 30 days to roughly $1.8B, even as transfer volume gained to around $55.7B.

This comes in the context of broader growth in stablecoins globally, where total market supply has expanded around 50% through 2025. Networks that scale transaction volume while drawing in significant onchain dollars are seeing that reflected in activity and liquidity.

Here are the numbers:

Aptos daily txns: 3.5M (+6.06%)
Network transactions per second: 77 tx/s (-16.3%)
Daily active users: 1.6M (+14.29%)
Aptos TVL: $429.55M (-5.12%)
Aptos stablecoin market cap: $1.79B (-2.19%)

Aptos added three new stablecoins this year: USDe, USD1, and USDG0. USDe has more than $93M bridged to Aptos and is positioned for yield strategies. USD1 and USDG0 bring assets backed by US Treasury Bills, supporting compliant payment use cases.

The uptick in onchain dollars aligns with regulatory clarity like the GENIUS Act passed mid-2025, which sets a framework for stablecoins and can broaden institutional interest.

Beyond supply metrics, ecosystem activity shows movement: protocols like PACT increased assets on private credit, Hyperion protocol launched new USD1 liquidity incentives, and integrations across trading infrastructure and wallets continue to roll out.

Net technical and economic activity on Aptos is rising alongside these stablecoin trends, with daily transactions, active users, and transfer volume all showing growth in the latest biweekly snapshot.

This isn’t financial advice, but the numbers suggest that Aptos is drawing a share of stablecoin liquidity and usage in the current macro environment.
