    Part 1: Total Stablecoins Volume/Dominance and Their Shares

    The following figure shows the overall transaction volumes of each stablecoin on the Osmosis platform. USDC is the most dominant coin among these three by about $64.5 Million worth of transactions. The second most favorable stablecoin is the DAI, with $3.55 Million, and the close third is USDT with about $3.51 Million worth of transactions.

    Here is each coin's share from the total transactions volume. USDC absorbed about 90% of the volumes among these stablecoins, and DAI and USDT, each absorbed about 5% of the transactions.

    Stablecoins Dominance Over Time

    We have shown each stablecoin's transaction volume over time in the following figure.

    Our observations:

    • We can see that USDC is the most dominant coin on almost all time periods.
    • On April 21, USDT was able to absorb the most transaction volumes. An event that never repeated since.
    • During a short period from May 1 to May 7, DAI was the most transacted stablecoin.
    • From May 13, the transaction volumes of DAI started increasing, so much that on May 20, it experienced its all time high.
    • From April 24 to May 7, an stable time for the market, stablecoins on the Osmosis experienced low volumes of transactions.
    • From June 6 to June 13, the time when Bitcoin was able to reach back to $30,000 and almost keep its price almost stable, there was very little transactions on the stablecoins.

    Conclusions

    1. USDC is the most favorable stablecoin on the Osmosis platform. Over 90% of the transaction volumes among USDC, USDT and DAI belong to USDC.
    2. Though all three of these stablecoins were the most dominant for a period, DAI and USDT were only on top for a short time. USDC is in fact the dominant stablecoin both over time and on transaction volumes.
