Just as the price of Ethereum gains upward traction, the network is also experiencing robust adoption and usage, cementing its dominance in the blockchain sector. As the year begins, the Ethereum network reached a major milestone in terms of on-chain finance as stablecoin transfers surge to unprecedented levels.

Ethereum continues to remain at the forefront of on-chain finance following recent stablecoin flows on the blockchain. Presently, stablecoin activity on the Ethereum network has surged sharply, reaching historical levels, reflecting a significant change in the dynamics of on-chain liquidity.

In the midst of a growing stablecoin market, Joseph Young, a market expert and ETH narrator, revealed that stablecoin transfer volume on the Ethereum network just hit a new all-time high. This rise in stablecoin flows to new heights suggests increasing demand for settlement, trading, and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) activity.

Data from the chart shared by Young shows that over $8 trillion in stablecoins were settled in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2025, or in just 3 months. This is actual money being moved, settled, and cleared on the blockchain.

With this growth, Ethereum is reinforcing its central role as the primary financial layer for stablecoin transactions. According to Young, this amount of stablecoin transfers settled on ETH is larger than that of Visa, whose average payment volume is at $4 trillion per quarter. 

Stablecoins have subtly emerged as one of the most popular cryptocurrency goods; the key chain for that activity is Ethereum. As a result, Young believes that ETH is becoming the trusted settlement layer of money, and no other chain rivals its financial reach. 

Despite several milestones and remarkable network growth over the years, Ethereum is increasingly viewed through a different lens. Many analysts continue to argue that the ETH network may be the most undervalued blockchain in the entire cryptocurrency landscape today.

In the X post, BMNR Bullz, a financial expert and investor, highlighted that ETH only makes up over 14% of all crypto market value. Meanwhile, the network secures about 59% of all capital in the DeFi sector. This widening gap between usage and price is strengthening the argument that Ethereum’s true value may not yet be completely reflected.

This growth implies that the majority of the real money, applications, and settlements are actively taking place on the leading blockchain. “When price doesn’t reflect where capital actually lives, it’s usually the price that’s wrong,” BMNT Bullz added.

At the time of writing, the price of ETH was trading at $3,233 after experiencing a more than 2% rise in the last 24 hours. At the same time, its trading volume has flipped sharply bullish, increasing by over 42% in the past day.
