Lira Stablecoins Overtake Euro Stablecoins in On-Chain Volume
On-chain transfers of Turkish lira-pegged stablecoins hit $3.4 billion in 2025, surpassing euro-denominated stablecoins. The gap between USD and euro stablecoins is 200-fold and widening.
According to data from Zodia Markets, a subsidiary of Standard Chartered, on-chain transfers of Turkish lira stablecoins reached $3.4 billion in 2025. This makes the Turkish lira the second most popular fiat currency for stablecoins after the US dollar.
Euro-denominated stablecoins lag dramatically behind, with a 200-fold gap compared to dollar stablecoins. The gap is not narrowing but continuing to grow.
