Stablecoin transfer volume on the Ethereum network achieved a new all-time high of over $8 trillion in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to Token Terminal data. This figure nearly doubled the volume seen in the second quarter. Concurrently, Ethereum experienced record network activity, hitting an all-time high of 2.23 million daily transactions and 10.4 million monthly active addresses in December. Ethereum maintains dominance in stablecoin issuance, holding a 57% market share, with Tether (USDT) accounting for over half of its issuance on the network. Furthermore, Ethereum is the primary settlement layer for Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization, commanding about 65% of the on-chain value. Observers note this activity represents global on-chain payments already occurring, preceding further institutional adoption and RWA tokenization rollouts.
