What are the largest US-dollar stablecoins right now?

Short answer

The five largest dollar stablecoins in our data are USDT ($183.4B), USDC ($72.7B), USDS ($7.0B), DAI ($4.7B), USDE ($4.7B). Together the 100 listed here hold about $304.2B; the two largest alone account for 84% of it.

Dollar stablecoins differ in what backs them (cash and T-bills, crypto collateral, or a trading strategy), in who can mint and redeem them, and in whether they pay anything. Circulation is the most direct measure of how widely one is used. Figures are refreshed daily from DefiLlama’s open stablecoin data and the issuers we track directly; the top 100 are shown.

How this list is made: computed from the live TokenBank dataset each time the page is built — 100 matching rows, each linked to its own page and source.

How to choose

For holding dollars, prefer a coin whose reserves are cash and short T-bills with regular attestations; for earning, compare the yield-bearing ones separately — a stablecoin that pays is taking some risk to do so.

More questions

Does a bigger stablecoin mean a safer one?

Size means liquidity — it is easier to exchange a large stablecoin for dollars at par — not safety. What backs it, who audits the reserves and whether the issuer can freeze addresses matter more, and differ widely among the largest.

Which of them can I buy without KYC?

12 of 100 can be bought on a DEX without identity verification. For the rest, the source does not state the secondary-market gate.

Where does the yield come from?

sUSDf: Diversified market-neutral strategies. sUSDai: Loans collateralized by GPU/AI hardware. sfrxUSD: Carry trade + AMOs + T-bill rate (partly BUIDL-backed).

Which is the largest?

By size, USDT at $183.4B, followed by USDC at $72.7B and USDS at $7.0B. Size is not safety, but a larger product usually means a deeper market to sell into.

Are these yields fixed?

3 of 100 are variable: the rate moves with markets and is not guaranteed. The figures on this page were last checked between 2026-10-11 and 2026-10-19.
