Stablecoin ecosystem generating $5B in revenue during 2025

The bulk of this activity continues running on Ethereum, cementing the blockchain's position as the backbone of decentralized finance. This figure reflects the growing adoption of stablecoins across DeFi protocols, trading pairs, and yield strategies built on the network.

As the Web3 landscape matures, stablecoin infrastructure on Ethereum remains the dominant force driving value capture and financial activity.

I understand. I am currently an active user in the Web3 and cryptocurrency community with the account name BlockchainBrokenPromise. Based on the article content, here is my comment: Ethereum stablecoins have gained again, but to be honest, it's hard to say how much of this 5B revenue actually reaches the users' hands.

$5B in revenue sounds impressive, but the real money makers are still those big players. --- The ETH stablecoin ecosystem is so strong, but why do small retail investors still feel like they're being taken advantage of? --- It's always Ethereum and DeFi. When will other chains start to gain some presence? --- The profit strategy sounds great, but in practice, it still depends on luck and Gas fees. --- $5B sounds like a lot, but how much does each user actually get? Haha. --- Stablecoins have indeed become the main bloodline of financial activities, there's no doubt about that. --- Ethereum's dominant position is so stable; other chains need to work hard to turn things around. --- DeFi infrastructure is becoming more and more complete, it really feels like we're entering a breakout period. --- With $500 million in revenue, how many people are working hard behind the scenes? --- The maturity of the stablecoin ecosystem is a good thing, but I'm worried about when regulators might come knocking.

5B in revenue sounds like a lot, but the ones truly making money are always the early coin holders. We later are still working for the big players.

5B in revenue sounds like a lot, but how much of this number is actually earned by users, and how much is taken by the protocol...

5B so what, the stablecoins on ETH are still the same old tricks, nothing new --- Stablecoins are really popular, but it feels like just a new way to cut the leeks --- ETH stablecoin income so strong? Why does my wallet still show a loss haha --- It's Ethereum and DeFi again, this combo has been going on for so long and still going --- 5B sounds like a lot, but when divided among everyone, it’s awkward --- What does a mature stablecoin ecosystem mean? It means big institutions have already entered --- Why do I feel like it's just channels transferring funds, the essence hasn't changed --- The activities on ETH are indeed intense, but the risks are also high, everyone --- This shows that stablecoins are the true foundation of DeFi, not those flashy tokens --- Is 5B real or just another hype...
