🚨 The Stablecoin Kingmakers of 2026 🚨
Total USD stablecoin market ≈ $280B+
Top kings right now:
1. $USDT (Tether) → \~$177–180B 👑
2. $USDC (Circle) → \~$70B
3. $USDS → \~$6.5B+
4. $USDe (Ethena) → \~$4.5B
5. $DAI → \~$4.5B
... then $USD1, $USDG, $PYUSD, $RLUSD (\~$2.6–2.7B)
Important truth most people miss:
✅ USDT, USDC & RLUSD = Fiat-backed (real cash + short-term Treasuries)
❌ NOT algorithmic
Algorithmic ones (like old TerraUSD) mostly died after 2022. The big ones are fully reserved.
How are they created?
Institutions deposit real USD → Issuer mints the tokens → Reserves go up 1:1.
Retail just buys on the secondary market.
