Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) is making huge strides in becoming a stablecoin powerhouse. The popular Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) employing HBAR network is showing exceptional numbers in the stablecoin field, with this niche market cap growing 38.77% in just 7 days to tackle $172 million, according to DefiLlama.

HBAR Activity Bursts Out 2,150% On USDC Support 

Among those, Circle USD (USDC) emerged as the biggest start, picking up 2,150% gains during the same time frame. While the United States government is pushing for comprehensive stablecoin legislation & the European Union has already implemented MiCA regulation, USDC remains one of the most compliant stablecoins.

On the Hedera network, USDC has an ultra high dominance of 99.87%, while the chain fees garnered $1,137 to bolster Hederaโ€™s overall total value locked (TVL) to $209.63 million. As cross-chain borders are opening up for stablecoins, USDC could emerge as the number one substitute for the United States Dollar (USD).

Implications Of Hederaโ€™s Volume Uptick On HBAR Price

Meanwhile, Hederaโ€™s trading volume stats have equaled $224.12M over the past 24 hours, equipping HBAR trading volume with a 52% boost since yesterday. At $8.38 billion market capitalization, HBAR price now recouped the major support levels of $0.20 after a week-long hiatus, whipping up 4.4% gains today.

Indeed, if something big is coming, a breach past $10 billion in market capitalization is likely. Considering HBAR price appreciation, the altcoin was twice rejected at the $0.37 barrier this year, but HBAR bulls might be looking to finally push through this threshold to tackle the long-untouched all-time high (ATH).

On The Flipside

  • Hederaโ€™s $0.56 record peak was hit over 3 years ago, but the networkโ€™s market capitalization was considerably slimmer back then, topping at $6.68 billion in 2021.

Why This Matters

Stablecoin legislation has opened the borders for merchants to freely choose between fiat and digital currencies. Cross-border payment systems such as SWIFT encircle a $150 trillion market cap, which is approximately 50 times larger than the current cryptoโ€™s overall cap.
