Tether's Increasing Dominance in the Stable Coin Space, but also a couple of new comers for 2024!
According to [CoinGecko](https://www.coingecko.com/en/categories/stablecoins)'s latest stable coin stats... Tether has increased in market cap from $79 BN to $104BN over the last 12 months. 

At the same time USDC, the second closest contender has dipped and then climbed its way back up to $32 billioN. 

The other top three are almost nowhere with DAI staying level at $5BN, FRAX almost having to $650 million and USDD staying level at $700M 

Tether's market dominance of stable coins is now 70%, down from a peak of 74% at the beginning of the year.

|COIN|April 2023|March 2024|
|-|-|-|
|Tether|$79B|$104B|
|USDC|$32B|$32B|
|DAI|$5B|$5B|
|FRAX|$1B|$650M|
|USDD|$700M|$700M|

### Two Newcomers to the Top 10...

- First Digital USD - $2.5BN - launchd in June 2023. 
- Ethena USDe - $1.5BN - launched February 2024. 

These are now 4th and 5th by market cap respectively and quite different beasts, the former is a centralised stable coin issued by a financial company, the later is the stable coin of a bond based Ethereum DEFI protocol. 

Personally I don't trust either! 


### The Young Pretenders...

I also noticed the PayPal coin sneaking into the top coins there, I think that might grow, also TOR I have never heard of!

And surprisingly Terra Classic USD is still there, presumably people can't bring themselves to offload what they've got left!

#### And HBDs...

Nowhere to be seen! According to @arcange's [February stats](https://peakd.com/hive-133987/@arcange/hive-finance-20240131-en)...

We've got $10M liquid and $35 if we include what's in the DHF and the potential to support $40M HBDs at a 20% debt ratio with Hive at around $0.50 at current Hive supply of 400M. 

So still in the orders of 10s of Millions, not 100s. 

I guess the fun and optimistic way to look at this is this...

If we were to get 400M HBDs into circulation and honour that 20% debt ratio (which I may or may not have made up..? then Hive would need to be around $5. 

That's all entirely hypothetical, but I'd take that!

Just as the market has entered its bull cycle, many new users will come in this time and they have no idea how the market works.  Money should be invested in it otherwise only loss will be obtained from here.

Can't recall where I saw it, but apparently Tether is one of the biggest BTC holders. That makes me wonder how things are managed when it comes to $backing of a stable.

By that , I mean, you want a stable to keep peg in a crypto hurricane. What would a BTC crash mean for Tethers asset backing, how much of their $1 is in other crypto assets ?

Well it's supposed to be 100% backed, so I don't know!

HBD can't be compared to the other stable coins :)
