The trading volume of dollar-based stablecoins on domestic exchanges has surged due to Donald Trump's pro-cryptocurrency policy. Although domestic exchanges have over 16 million members, there are concerns that stablecoins are in a legal and institutional vacuum, which could negatively impact digital payment industries and won currency competitiveness.
According to an analysis commissioned by Seoul Economic Newspaper to Cryptoquant on the five major cryptocurrency exchanges, the trading volume of dollar-based stablecoins like USDT and USDC from January to March 28th reached 60.1019 trillion won. Approximately 97% of the increase was in USDT, which was 58 times higher than the same period last year. Stablecoins are virtual assets with values fixed 1:1 with legal tender like dollars. The market believes stablecoin demand is rapidly increasing due to reasons such as strengthening US dollar dominance, transferring funds to overseas exchanges, and minimizing transaction conversion costs.
