BNB Chain onboarded 985,000 new stablecoin holders in the week ending September 28, surpassing all other top-ten blockchains combined. This surge was mainly driven by Tether's USDT, which accounted for about 845,900 new addresses, with Circle's USDC adding 390,800 more. Despite leading in wallet count, BNB Chain does not lead in total stablecoin supply, which is flowing more to Solana, Ethereum, and Hyperliquid. BNB Chain's growth is fueled by fee waivers, promotional campaigns, and wallet compatibility, making it easier for users to join and transact on the network.
BNB Chain's rapid addition of nearly one million stablecoin holders in a week highlights growing user interest in stablecoins like Tether's USDT. On Pluang, USDT trades at Rp17,953 with a market cap of Rp3.297,4 trillion as of September 30, 2026, 05:21 WIB. Despite a slight 0.06% dip in the last day, USDT remains actively traded with a 24-hour volume of Rp1.325,53 trillion and a typical hold time of 89 days, reflecting steady engagement among investors.
