FDUSD Supply Surges by 74% in Two Weeks
The stablecoin FDUSD has witnessed remarkable growth over the past two weeks, securing its position as the fifth largest fiat-pegged cryptocurrency in the market. The majority of FDUSD’s market activity and onchain movements are concentrated on the centralized crypto exchange Binance.
With a market capitalization of $1.61 billion, FDUSD currently ranks as the 46th largest digital currency out of a total of over 11,500. As of December 17, FDUSD’s supply has expanded by 74.92% to reach 1.611 billion coins, compared to 921 million coins on December 2.
In the last 24 hours alone, FDUSD has witnessed a significant global trade volume of $2.2 billion, primarily driven by trading pairs with USDT and BTC on Binance. In fact, on Binance, 90.45% of FDUSD’s trading volume originates from these two pairs.
Smaller exchanges like Gate.io, Bingx, Cryptology, and Tokocrypto also offer FDUSD pairs, although on a smaller scale. Notably, FDUSD’s supply is concentrated among only 255 wallets.
