TON Steals the Show While BNB Chain Bleeds as Stablecoin Volumes Spike

Key Highlights

  • TON’s $500M inflow leads stablecoin growth, while Ethereum sees outflows and Arbitrum attracts rising bridged capital from other networks.
  • Hyperliquid dominates fees with $2.1M, showing intense trading, while Tron, BNB, and Solana maintain steady on-chain activity across networks.
  • Stablecoins steadily grow past $310B, with USDT leading; Brazil favors tokenized income, while India warns crypto remains highly speculative.

Stablecoin activity has spiked across major blockchains in the past 24 hours, with TON leading the pack, as per data from Artemis. TON’s stablecoin supply changes jumped to $500 million, the biggest increase among all chains. Tron saw a smaller boost, while Plasma, Avalanche, Ethereum, and others grew modestly.

However, some networks faced declines. As per data from Artemis Terminal, Sui, Katana, Arbitrum, Base, and Solana recorded minor contractions, whereas Mantle saw a more noticeable dip. The largest decreases happened on the BNB Chain, where stablecoin supply fell significantly, signaling temporary outflows from the network.

Bridged capital flows favor Arbitrum

Bridged Net Flows showed a change in the preferences of the users over the past day. The Arbitrum network was the most preferred blockchain for net incoming funds, with an estimated $18-20 million. 

The level of activity observed here indicates a short-term attention level on the network, most likely due to Decentralized Financial Services, Trading, and Rewards associated with it. Other than this, there has been a net influx of deposits worth $2-3 million on the Polygon PoS Chain.

Smaller networks such as Solana, Base, Ink, Sui, Starknet, and Avalanche C-Chain posted net inflows of less than $1 million. The data indicate steady activity and not merely a surge. Bitcoin and zkSync Era posted minimal net activity, which means there has been balanced inflow and outflow.

On the other hand, Ethereum was the largest source of net outflows. It lost $12.3 million through the bridging of its capital. Smaller layer one blockchains such as Hyperliquid, edgeX, BNB Chain, Sonic, Unichain, OP Mainnet, Linea, Blast, and Berachain also saw outflows between $1 million and $6 million. 

Even though these figures may look significant, they can be seen as very small when put into perspective relative to Ethereum.

Fee generation highlights active chains

Hyperliquid dominated fee generation over the last 24 hours, making a total of just over $2.1 million. This performance put it far ahead of other chains and reflected high trading and on-chain activity. Tron followed at about $750,000 in fees, while BNB Chain collected around $650,000. Solana recorded $450,000, with edgeX adding about $350,000.

Ethereum accounted for $250,000 in the recorded fees, while Bitcoin accounted for $200,000. Beyond these top performers, fee generation dropped dramatically: below $100,000 was earned by networks like Osmosis, Base, Dogecoin, Cronos, Polygon PoS, and Arbitrum. Smaller chains, such as Internet Computer, Sui, TON, Stride, and Near, had almost negligible fees to their names, a fair reflection of their relatively anemic transactional action.

Stablecoin market growth and regional trends

According to DeFiLlama, the total market capitalization of all stablecoins stands at $310.14 billion. During the week, the market added approximately $450.04 million. USDT is dominant with a share of 60.20% of the total circulating supply of the stablecoin, estimated at approximately $187 billion, which is central in ensuring liquidity and trading activity.

Historical trends show that the adoption of stablecoin has been expanding dramatically since 2018. It surged through $100 billion in 2021, reached a high of $180–$190 billion in early 2022, contracted during 2022–2023, and rebounded past $200 billion through 2024–2025. 

According to analysts at 21Shares, stablecoins are expected to top $1 trillion by 2026, while that of tokenized assets could reach $500 billion.

Crypto growth in Brazil is all about stability, not hype. Adoption in 2025 was led by investors under 24 years old, up 56% on a yearly basis. Fixed-income products tokenized as tokens, such as Mercado Bitcoin’s Renda Fixa Digital, distributed $325 million to their users; returns averaged at 132% of the local benchmark CDI rate.

Meanwhile, India maintains a cautious stance. RBI Deputy Governor T. Rabi Sankar reiterated that private cryptocurrencies cannot function as money or genuine financial assets. He said, “Cryptocurrencies have no intrinsic value. They are not backed by a promise to pay, and they have no issuer. Their value is purely speculative.”

TON’s $500 million inflow shows the network is gaining real traction, while Arbitrum is attracting money from other chains. Stablecoins are steadily growing, and different countries are taking unique approaches to crypto.
