Ethereum Stablecoin Transfers Hit $8 Trillion in Q4 2025 Surge

In Brief

• Ethereum stablecoin transfers hit $8T in Q4 2025 amid rising exchange inflows globally
• Weekly stablecoin inflows rise from $51B to $81B, signaling investor market reentry
• Bullish pattern on ETH weekly chart targets $4.8K–$6.8K if breakout strength holds

Ethereum surpassed $8 trillion in stablecoin transfer volume during Q4 2025, marking its highest quarterly total to date. This surge nearly doubled Q2’s $4 trillion figure and highlighted Ethereum’s growing use in global payments and liquidity flows.

Stablecoin issuance also rose 43% year-over-year, ending 2025 at $181 billion, with Ethereum holding a 57% market share.

Tether remained the dominant issuer, with $187 billion in circulation, over half of which resides on Ethereum. Consistent growth in transactions and monthly active addresses further strengthened Ethereum’s position in on-chain finance.

Token Terminal data confirmed Ethereum’s continued dominance in both stablecoin activity and real-world asset tokenization.

Exchange Inflows and Chart Signals Point to Investor Reentry

While Ethereum’s long-term metrics show strong adoption, short-term sentiment has been more cautious, according to Darkfost. Stablecoin deployment remained flat through late 2025, reflecting reduced new capital entering the market.

Darkfost emphasized that the crypto market has been rotating existing liquidity rather than absorbing new inflows.

However, exchange data shows a positive change: weekly stablecoin inflows jumped from $51B to $81B in one week. Although the 90-day average still trends down at $100B, reclaiming levels above it would mark a shift in momentum.

Rising inflows may signal that investors are preparing to re-enter the market with greater conviction.

At the same time, technical analysts observed an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern forming on Ethereum’s weekly chart. Trader Tardigrade identified a developing breakout with neckline resistance around $3,800–$4,200, possibly leading to $6,800+.

This technical setup, combined with stronger inflows and Ethereum’s on-chain strength, could support a broader bullish move.
