Arbitrum’s stablecoin economy is scaling fast in 2026.
During the first half of the year, Arbitrum averaged more than $70 billion in monthly stablecoin transfer volume, while the number of stablecoin holders jumped 40% to 10.5 million.
That growth is more significant than simply having more capital sitting on-chain. Stablecoins are increasingly being used for trading, settlement, payments and DeFi activity, turning them into a key measure of actual on-chain financial usage.
Arbitrum also processed 478 million transactions during H1, taking its lifetime total to roughly 2.7 billion. The network generated $206 million in ecosystem GDP during the period, while ArbitrumDAO recorded $6.19 million in income.
