USDT stablecoin share in Asia-Pacific payments drops from 98% to 91% as rivals gain ground in 2026

USDT's share of stablecoin payments in the Asia-Pacific region fell from 98% in early 2025 to 91% by July 2026, while other stablecoins increased their combined share from 2% to 9%. This shift reflects broader regulatory access and institutional integration, although USDT remains the dominant stablecoin due to its liquidity and exchange availability. The region accounted for over half of global stablecoin payment volume, with significant business-to-business and consumer transactions. Ripple's RLUSD token recently launched in Japan, marking a regulatory milestone and potentially influencing future market dynamics.

USDT remains a major player on Pluang, trading at Rp17.883 with a slight 1-day gain of +0.07% as of Oct 09, 2026 02:22 WIB, despite its declining share in Asia-Pacific stablecoin payments. XRP, linked to Ripple's RLUSD token mentioned in the news, is priced at Rp24.442 but shows a 1-day drop of -4.14%, reflecting some volatility. USDT's market cap on Pluang is Rp3.293,86T, highlighting its continued dominance in liquidity and exchange availability.
