Arc and HyperEVM pull in $1.2B in stablecoin market cap in one week

  • Arc added $621.5M and HyperEVM $598.8M in the week to September 22
  • Avalanche grew only $128.6M, roughly a fifth of either newcomer
  • Arc's mainnet launched September 16 with about $649M in USDC already deployed
  • Stablecoin supply on HyperEVM has ballooned to around $5.8B
Why it matters: Stablecoin liquidity is migrating to newer chains, intensifying competition with established L1s for capital and DeFi activity.
