USDT's Share of Stablecoin Payments in Asia-Pacific Falls to 91%

According to Crypto Briefing, USDT's share of stablecoin payments in the Asia-Pacific region has fallen to 91%, down from previous levels. The figure points to a marginal shift in the region's stablecoin payment landscape, though USDT remains overwhelmingly dominant.

The report did not disclose the specific methodology or time window used for the statistic, nor did it specify where the lost share went. Market participants typically watch whether compliant stablecoins such as USDC are picking up some of the demand in cross-border settlement and institutional use cases.

Asia-Pacific is a high-frequency region for stablecoin cross-border payments and on/off-ramping, and shifts in market share are often tied to the regulatory environment, exchange support and merchant acceptance. Whether the trend persists remains to be seen.
