Transaction volume in the past 30 days for Tether, USDC, and DAI, has surpassed Visa’s 2023 monthly average, according to Nansen.

Tether, USDC and DAI transaction volume surpasses Visa's 2023 monthly average: Nansen image 0Crypto's three largest stablecoins — Tether USDT +0.17% , USDC and DAI — have seen higher volumes in the past 30 days than Visa’s average monthly total from last year, according to onchain specialist Nansen.

Nansen data showed that the largest stablecoin by market capitalization, Tether , processed $654 billion in the past 30 days, while DAI managed over $394 billion of flows and USDC saw $321 billion in trading volume.

"The total for the three at $1.369 trillion is higher than the monthly average for market leader Visa in 2023," said Nansen. That compares to $1.23 trillion, the monthly average of Visa's yearly $14.8 trillion volume in 2023.

Nansen’s data showed that Tether alone processed nearly as much in monthly volumes as Mastercard, the second largest card provider in the world. Mastercard’s monthly average volumes were $750 billion in 2023, totaling $9 trillion for the year. Data showed that Tether also outstripped PayPal, which managed $125 billion on average each month last year. 

USDC takes lead in stablecoin transactions, Visa claims

In an April report , Visa claimed that Circle’s USDC should be classed as the leading stablecoin in terms of transactions volume.

Visa said it cleansed stablecoin transaction data of inorganic activity and only counted the largest stablecoin amount transferred within a single transaction to show USDC surpassing its market contenders.

According to the report, the removal of bot activity, complex smart contract interaction and automatic transactions from centralized exchanges, saw USDC transaction volume surpass that for USDT on a weekly basis. 

"Only transactions that have been sent by an account that has initiated less than 1,000 stablecoin transactions and $10 million in transfer volume, over last 30 days, are counted. This removes various bot activity as well as automatic transactions from large entities like centralized exchanges," the report said.

After the 10-year US Treasury yield breaks back above the critical 5% mark, it is more likely to usher in a period of high-level tug-of-war and accelerated asset differentiation. Especially before energy shocks and the significantly eased large-scale expansion of the US fiscal deficit, the conditions to quickly replicate the sharp yield decline seen at the end of 2023 are not yet fully in place.

Anthropic releases another article: What will the economy look like in the AI era?

Anthropic's economics team has released an AI economic scenario model, centered around three scenarios: moderate and gradual growth, transformative changes with GDP doubling, and an extreme situation with 15% annual growth but massive job losses among knowledge workers. The model treats work as "bundles of tasks" and analyzes AI’s enhancement and substitution effects on different types of tasks. Anthropic emphasizes that the economic outlook for 2030 is not predetermined; the key lies in how the dividends from AI are widely shared.

"New Federal Reserve News Agency": Waller's Rate Hike "Has No Way Back", Trump's "Trust" Faces Test

Nick Timiraos believes that after the higher-than-expected August CPI, the probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates this week has surged, while Waller’s hawkish stance on inflation has left himself almost "no leeway." With seven weeks before the election, whether or not Waller raises rates will directly test how long Trump's “trust” in him can last. Previously, Waller maintained a balance between the White House and the Federal Reserve by “talking less and avoiding provocation,” but after this meeting, silence will no longer serve as his shield.
