Non-dollar stablecoins are struggling to crack 0.5% of market share
Non-dollar stablecoins are struggling to gain significant market share, currently holding only 0.24% of the stablecoin market. Despite an increase in supply to $771 million since 2021, they remain overshadowed by dollar-pegged stablecoins, which dominate with 99.76% market share. The lack of international liquidity for most national currencies limits the potential for non-dollar stablecoins to become more widely used.
