How USDC has gained from ongoing BUSD chaos

According to data provided by Dune Analytics, trading firm Genesis had a massive amount of USDC in its reserves. The increasing interest of these firms could be instrumental in helping USDC compete in the stablecoin space.

33.0% of Genesis’s trading portfolio consisted of USDC, coming second only to its Ethereum [ETH] reserves.

However, Genesis was not the only institutional investor interested in USDC. Many other whales also bought the stablecoin, causing a pike in the percentage of USDC held by large addresses.

However, contrary to USDC, whale interest in USDT declined materially during the same period, according to Santiment. BUSD also observed interest from whales. However, the interest started to falter after the regulatory issues began with Paxos.

However, there have been attempts to improve the state of BUSD. For instance, since 13 February, $5 billion worth of BUSD was burned. Despite this, BUSD’s market cap continued to decline.

At press time, USDT was still on top of the stablecoin throne in terms of market cap, with USDC coming in second. However, as interest in USDC grew, the hierarchy of stablecoins might change. One indicator of USDC’s growth would be the high number of transactions being made on USDC.

According to data provided by Dune Analytics, 70% of all transfer volume was due to USDC. The huge number of transfers being made with USDC has given Circle’s stablecoin a clear advantage in this area. With USDT trailing behind at 19.3%, it seemed unlikely that USDT would catch up with USDC anytime soon.
