The 40% surge in stablecoin redemption rates last month, February 2025, likely stemmed from increased market volatility and shifting investor sentiment. As cryptocurrency prices fluctuated, traders redeemed stablecoins like USDT and USDC to lock in profits or mitigate losses. Growing institutional adoption and DeFi activity may have also driven demand for liquidity, prompting higher redemptions. Additionally, regulatory developments or macroeconomic uncertainty, such as U.S. economic policy shifts, could have spurred a flight to cash or fiat alternatives. On-chain data shows stablecoin supply grew to $230 billion by March 2025, suggesting a peak in usage followed by redemptions. While exact causes remain unclear without specific February data, these factors align with trends observed in recent analyses.
