Santiment: Stablecoin Activity Report (August 2020)

Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to minimize price volatility and hold (relatively) unchanged value. Generally speaking, stablecoins can be pegged to fiat currencies, other digital assets or virtually any commodity.


In this report, we concentrate on dollar-pegged stablecoins hosted on the Ethereum blockchain (ERC-20 stablecoins).


The report looks at top 6 ERC-20 stablecoins by market cap, namely:

  • Tether (USDT)
  • Multi Collateral Dai (DAI)
  • USD Coin (USDC)
  • Paxos Standard (PAX)
  • TrueUSD (TUSD)
  • BinanceUSD (BUSD)
  • Husd (HUSD)
