Top Stablecoins by Market Cap
Stablecoins are tokens engineered to hold a steady value, usually one US dollar. They are crypto’s plumbing: traders park in them between positions, businesses settle cross-border payments with them, and DeFi runs on them as its base unit of account.
This page ranks stablecoins by live market capitalization — which for this sector equals circulating supply. Market cap here measures adoption, not investment upside: a stablecoin’s price should always stay near its peg.

What to Know About Stablecoins
How pegs are maintained. Fiat-backed coins (USDT, USDC) hold reserves in cash and treasuries; crypto-backed coins (DAI) use over-collateralization; algorithmic designs use incentives. The reserve model matters most — read attestations, not marketing.
The depeg column. For stablecoins, the 24h change should be near zero. A persistent deviation from $1.00 is the single most important warning signal in this table.
