Tron has officially surpassed Ethereum in total circulating USDT, marking a major shift in the stablecoin space.
According to a May 12 post by CryptoQuant contributor Maartunn, on May 6, Tron’s USDT supply reached $73.8 billion, exceeding Ethereum’s $71.9 billion. Tron is now leading in USDT issuance for the first time after almost two years of steady growth, propelled by cheap fees, quick settlement times, and a stable network.
Since mid-2023, Tron’s growth has been consistent. The TRC-20 network has become the preferred choice for large-scale Tether transactions, with more than $14 billion worth of new USDT being minted on the network in just the first half of 2025. It has gained popularity among decentralized finance users, traders, and businesses due to its low transaction fees, quick block finality, and reliable uptime. 3 replies

XRP has jumped above $2.30 as excitement grows ahead of the XRPFi launch, a new decentralized finance platform set to expand the token’s utility.
XRPFi, built by Flare Networks, will go live on Apr. 29. It will introduce smart contract functionality to XRP, finally enabling holders to stake, lend, borrow, and trade within the Flare ecosystem. For years, XRP users were mostly limited to holding or trading their tokens, as XRP’s native ledger doesn’t support smart contracts. This kept XRP mostly out of the booming DeFi space.
Adding more fuel to the rally, ProShares announced it will roll out three XRP futures exchange-traded funds on Apr. 30. These new products, including Ultra XRP, Short XRP, and Ultra Short XRP, will give investors leveraged and inverse ways to bet on XRP’s price moves. This follows a quiet green light from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 2 replies

Stocks ended the week on a strong note, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting solid gains despite ongoing uncertainty around global trade.
The S&P 500 gained 0.5% to close the week, while the Nasdaq added 0.9%. However, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lagged behind other indices, recording a small 47-point, or 0.1%, decline.
The S&P 500 climbed more than 4% on the week, and the Nasdaq soared over 6%. The Dow, again, lagged its rival indices but still finished 2% higher for the week. Bitcoin recorded its best week since November, as it looks poised to retest the $100,000 level in the coming days.
Investors have been navigating volatile headlines on trade all week. Conflicting messages from President Donald Trump and Chinese officials mean there is still little clarity over how trade wars will progress. Trump alternated between touting potential trade deals and doubling down on tariff threats. 3 replies

Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, has been ranked the world’s most crypto-friendly city in Multipolitan’s 2025 Crypto Cities Index.
Ljubljana edged out heavyweight contenders like Hong Kong, Zurich, Singapore, and Abu Dhabi to take the top spot.
While these cities have long been seen as leaders in digital finance, Ljubljana’s blend of strong crypto infrastructure, progressive regulations, and real-world adoption helped it pull ahead in the rankings
Multipolitan’s analysis factored in a range of elements, including tax regimes and licensing frameworks, to internet speeds, capital gains taxes, and even the adoption of crypto ATMs.
One key reason Ljubljana pulled ahead of global contenders was its deeply rooted cryptocurrency culture. The city boasts over 150 crypto ATMs and a high density of retail locations that accept digital assets, an unusually high level of real-world adoption for its size. 3 replies
