The stablecoin sector recorded $4.30 trillion in monthly transfer volume as of Oct. 28, representing a 35.68% increase over the prior 30 days, based on data from RWA.xyz. Monthly active addresses grew 20.89% to 32.41 million during the same period.

Tether Holdings maintains market dominance with $179 billion in market capitalization, controlling 60.47% of the sector. Circle holds the second position with $73 billion, accounting for 24.68% of the market.

CEO Cites Regulatory Shift as Catalyst

Western Union President and CEO Devin McGranahan said the initiative allows the company to own the economics associated with stablecoins. The executive pointed to recent US regulatory developments, including the GENIUS Act, as factors supporting Western Union’s stablecoin strategy. The company reported a 6% revenue decline in its first quarter, prompting efforts to revive growth through digital asset integration.

The announcement coincides with the first US spot Solana ETP launch on the NYSE, as Bitwise’s $BSOL began trading on Oct. 28.
