Aptos, a Layer-1 blockchain, has emerged as the busiest ecosystem for stablecoin, surpassing Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain in crucial performance metrics. On Saturday, November 15, 2025, Aptos overtook Ethereum in 24-hour stablecoin supply inflows, according to data revealed today by market analyst Crypto Patel.
As per the data reported by the analyst, Aptos registered massive inflows of stablecoins on Saturday, adding $528 million to its supply over the past 24 hours. The rise in inflows indicates increased stablecoin usage on the network, reflecting strong on-chain activity and heightened investor confidence in the blockchain.
Institutional Outflows Hit Stablecoin Market
The move by Aptos to overtake Ethereum in stablecoin inflows signals an important shift in the blockchain markets as emerging chains are beginning to challenge well-established protocols. Ethereum has been dominating for a long time in stablecoin issuance and utility. However, the latest performance of Aptos indicates a potential change in blockchain activities.
While Aptos pulled $528 million over the past 24 hours, Ethereum added $145 million into its stablecoin supply during the same time. The Plasma blockchain added $180 million to its stablecoin supply, making it third on the list. Polygon, Base, and BNB Chain followed with $70 million, $54 million, and $47 million stablecoin inflows, as illustrated in the data above.
In another interesting observation noted in the data, Tron, Arbitrum, and Solana recorded significant stablecoin outflows with no inflows experienced over the day. This signifies declines in stablecoin volume in the wider crypto ecosystem. On-chain metrics show that the stablecoin sector registered a second straight weekly decrease in stablecoin volume, with $1.244 billion leaving the market this week. This followed another $1.925 billion that left the market during the previous week, bringing the entire stablecoin market to $304.109 billion, as of today, November 16, 2025, according to metrics sourced from DeFiLlama.
What Drives Demand for Aptos?
Stablecoin supply fluctuations are important indicators of increased demand on a particular blockchain, capital flows, and customer engagement. Whenever such metrics surge, it often implies that more customers are actively making transactions or moving funds on the chain.
With its relatively new L1 chain, Aptos is recognized for its scalability and rapid processing. The blockchain’s low transaction costs and swift settlement have attracted a new influx of developers and customers in recent months. The catalysts behind the sudden surge in stablecoin movements include increased DeFi activity in Aptos and the recent debut of Donald Trump’s USD1 stablecoin on the chain.
