USDC Nearly Doubles Market Cap in 2025 as Circle Expands Traditional Finance Partnerships

[etfs]

USDC continues to gain momentum, soaring 77% since the start of 2025 — jumping from $44 billion to $78 billion. The rapid growth follows Circle’s push into traditional finance, including deals with Deutsche Börse and Mastercard.
Compared to Tether’s 36% growth this year, USDC’s rise stands out, and the fresh Circle–Bybit partnership further solidifies its position as one of the fastest-growing stablecoins in the market.
