Stablecoin Velocity measures the frequency at which stablecoins are transferred or spent within a defined period, reflecting the rate of circulation of these digital assets throughout the cryptocurrency economy.
Mechanism
Stablecoin velocity is quantitatively determined by dividing the total value of stablecoin transactions over a specific timeframe by the average stablecoin supply in circulation during that same period. A higher velocity indicates active use in trading, lending, or payment systems, whereas lower velocity may suggest stablecoins are primarily held for storage or as collateral.
Methodology
Analyzing stablecoin velocity provides critical insights into market liquidity, trading activity, and the overall health of decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems. Institutional participants utilize this metric to gauge market sentiment, assess demand for stable asset transfers, and inform strategies related to liquidity provision or yield generation within DeFi protocols, recognizing its influence on market efficiency and capital deployment.
