Tether's USDT and Circle's USDC together control about 85% of the stablecoin market, with a combined supply of roughly $257.7 billion out of a $302.9 billion total market cap. USDT leads with 60.5% share, while USDC holds 24.5%, serving different roles: USDT as a widely used dollar substitute, and USDC as a compliance-friendly option favored by institutions.
