Forecast Trend Report by Period
The market capitalization of stablecoin USDG, a digital asset pegged to fiat currency, has grown more than tenfold over the past year.
On-chain analyst EmberCN wrote on X on Aug. 8 that USDG's market capitalization had climbed to $3.5 billion from $300 million over the past year, driven by growth in the OKX ecosystem. Of that total, about $1.95 billion sits on OKX's X Layer, meaning more than half of all USDG in circulation is concentrated there.
EmberCN also highlighted that USDG expanded through real use cases rather than major marketing campaigns or subsidies. USDG is not a stablecoin widely known to the public and has received little promotion or exposure, the analyst wrote. Even so, X Layer helped lift USDG to the sixth-largest stablecoin by market value through actual usage.
The analyst added that USDG's growth over the past year had been steady and sustained, rather than briefly inflated by large-scale subsidies. That, EmberCN said, offers a direct indication of the strength of the OKX Wallet user base and activity even in the current market slump.
