Golden Finance reports that the stablecoin market saw the largest-scale pullback in years in June. Total market capitalization fell by $7.7 billion that month, setting the biggest one-month drop since the May 2022 Terra-Luna collapse. Since the May peak, the stablecoin market has shrunk cumulatively by about $10 billion, with the two largest stablecoin issuers becoming the main drivers of this round of decline: the USDT issued by Tether fell from about $190 billion in May to $184 billion, down about $6 billion; USDC issued by Circle dropped from a near-$80 billion high in March 2026 to about $73 billion, shrinking by about $7 billion.
However, compared with the stablecoin market’s cumulative decline of more than 26% during the 2022 crypto winter, the adjustment in this round is still relatively mild. Wall Street institutions remain optimistic about the long-term outlook for stablecoins. Citi previously estimated that the global stablecoin market size would reach $1.9 trillion in 2030 under the base case scenario, and could rise to $4 trillion under the optimistic scenario.
