First Digital USD (FDUSD) has become the fourth-largest stablecoin in the industry following a rapid growth of its market cap since the beginning of the year.

Launched in June 2023, FDUSD is a 1:1 USD-backed stablecoin issued by FD121 Limited. Per the issuer, the stablecoinโ€™s reserves are โ€œsecurelyโ€ held in segregated bank accounts, subject to third-party monitoring and audits.

Six months following its launch, with a modest market cap of less than $100 million, FDUSD has grown exponentially to outrank its competitors, including TUSD, USDD, and FRAX.

According to CoinMarketCap data, the FDUSDโ€™s market cap now stands at $2,656,919,065, a 24-hour trading volume of $3,953,804,505. With the remarkable growth, FDUSD is now the fourth-largest stablecoin, trailing behind USDT, USDC, and DAI.

Factors that propelled FDUSDโ€™s rapid growth rate include its expansion across multiple blockchain networks, a strategy that boosted its interoperability and market appeal. The stablecoin further benefited from Binanceโ€™s recent shift from BUSD to “fresh alternatives,โ€ such as FDUSD.

In the meantime, stablecoin giant USDT has maintained its market dominance at 70.86%, adding almost $3 billion to its market cap since January 1. Cumulatively, the total stablecoins market cap stands at $133.591 billion, according to DefiLlama data.
