StableCOin -Reconciliation among Retail Users has set up new items this year, with transaction quantities through August, already exceeding last year’s total, said a new report from CEX.IO.
Transfers in retail sizes, counting transactions below $ 250, $ 5.84 billion in August, the highest ever registered, according to Data from Visa and Allium cited in the report. With almost four months back of the year, 2025 has already become the busiest period yet for stableecoin transfer volume at the consumer level.
The figures emphasize stableecoins, a group of cryptos tied to Fiat currencies such as the US dollar, which is becoming more and more embedded in everyday economic activity, from cross-border transfers to microtransactions, pointed out the report.
Study data from new markets that asked over 2,600 consumer in Nigeria, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Indonesia, reinforced this image, CEX.io analysts. A majority of respondents said they approached stableecoins to avoid high bank fees and slow transfers, the report said. Almost 70% of them reported to use stableecoins more often than last year, and more than three -quarters expect the use to continue to rise, the report said.
Ethereum wins, Tron falls back
The distribution of activity among blockchains has changed, noted the report. Tron Blockchain, traditionally popular for retail transfers due to its low fees and broad support for Tether’s USDT (Usdt)has given up the market share. Monthly transaction counts fell by 1.3 million or 6%, and its volume growth is lagging behind its closest competitors.
Instead of Binance Smart Chain (BSC) appeared as the top choice for retail users and captured nearly 40% of the retail stablecoin activity, the report said. The network’s transaction count jumped 75% this year with transfer volume increasing 67%. Much of the momentum came after Binance Deforgelt usdt in March for European users and a resurgence of Memecoin trade at Pandakeswap at BSC.
The Ethereum complex, with the basic chain and LAG-2 network combined, accounted for over 20% of transfer volume and 31% of the transaction counts, noted the report. While small transfers largely took place on L2S, Mainnet enjoyed a significant increase in the retail segment. SUB- $ 250 transfers on mainnet increased 81% in volume and 184% in counting.
Ethereum has mostly been used for great value transactions due to its high fees, but transaction costs have fallen more than 70% in the past year, making Mainnet transactions more competitive even in the area under $ 250, the authors said.
