ChainThink report, March 11: Despite large institutional fund flows dominating the total trading volume of stablecoins, the vast majority of stablecoin transactions remain small-value transfers. In this niche segment, BNB Chain is rapidly emerging as the preferred public blockchain for retail users engaging in stablecoin trading. The following data substantiate this trend:


1. Global leader in monthly active stablecoin sending addresses: In February alone, BNB Chain recorded 15.1 million unique monthly active stablecoin sending addresses, ranking first among all blockchains. For everyday stablecoin use cases—including trading, payments, and remittances—BNB Chain is currently the most active network worldwide.


2. Industry-leading annual growth rate: BNB Chain's stablecoin transaction volume grew by 133% year-over-year, outpacing all major blockchains.


3. 40% of global stablecoin transactions on just 5% of supply: BNB Chain holds only about 5% of the global stablecoin supply yet processes nearly 40% of global stablecoin transactions. This exceptional throughput is driven by ultra-low transaction fees (typically around $0.05), faster block times following the January Fermi upgrade, and robust support from active DeFi protocols such as PancakeSwap and Venus.


4. Daily stablecoin transfer volume peaked at $21.7 billion, setting a new annual record.


These figures indicate that BNB Chain has surpassed competitors such as Ethereum, Tron, and Solana in stablecoin transaction share, particularly excelling in high-frequency, small-value transfer scenarios prevalent in emerging markets and among retail users—currently, 82% of stablecoin transfers on BNB Chain are below $1,000 in value.
