Cardano's stablecoin market value rises 25.8% to $68.3M, boosting DeFi ecosystem support.

Over the past 90 days, the market value of stablecoins on the Cardano blockchain increased by 25.8%, reaching $68.3 million. The largest share of this total is USD Coin (USDC) at $44.4 million, followed by USDM at $13.5 million and RealFi's USDrf at $5.1 million. This growth in stablecoin market capitalization supports transfers, trading, and decentralized finance (DeFi) activities on Cardano, where the total value locked in DeFi stood at $64.46 million as of October 16. However, the rise in stablecoin supply does not necessarily indicate increased use of Cardano applications or demand for its native token ADA.

The Cardano stablecoin market cap rose 25.8% over 90 days to $68.3 million, with USD Coin holding the largest share at $44.4 million. For readers following the broader cryptocurrency market, here is Pluang's snapshot as of Oct 17, 2026 14:41 WIB: out of 50 major cryptocurrencies, 8 rose and 41 fell today.
