According to Bernstein and The Block data, total dollar-backed stablecoin supply surpassed $300 billion. Tether's (CRYPTO: USDT) and USDC control roughly 97% of the market.Adjusted stablecoin transaction volume reached around $15 trillion monthly and annualized stablecoin volume is tracking near $100 trillion, up from roughly $55 trillion last yearUSDC's market share in adjusted transaction volumes reportedly climbed from 41% to 60% year-over-year, helped by growth in spot trading and wallet-to-wallet transfers.AI Payments Becoming A Major Bull CaseBernstein also pointed to Circle's growing \"agentic payments\" infrastructure as a major long-term catalyst.The firm highlighted gas-free USDC transfers, multichain programmable wallets, AI agent payment rails and the x402 protocol enabling software-to-software stablecoin payments.Bernstein also highlighted Circle's ARC blockchain, which uses USDC as native gas and features what the firm described as \"quantum-ready\" architecture.Image: ShutterstockMarket News and Data brought to you by Benzinga APIs© 2026 Benzinga.com.
