Makerdao’s DAI stablecoin has shed 9.7% this past month and the stablecoin’s market capitalization was the biggest loser out of the top ten dollar-pegged crypto tokens. On Oct. 31, DAI’s market cap was around $5.77 billion and today, it’s coasting along at $5.20 billion. With tether and DAI leading the losses over the last month out of the top ten stablecoins, frax (FRAX) followed behind the two tokens shedding around 3.1% last month.


Stablecoin trade volume has dropped a great deal over the last two months but the tokens still represent a majority of today’s trades. For instance, on Sept. 27, 2022, stablecoins captured $205 billion out of the $225 billion in global trades. On Oct. 31, stablecoins recorded $55.91 billion in trades out of the total worldwide crypto trade volume ($71 billion).

During the past 24 hours stablecoins have captured $37.73 billion and the aggregate trade volume among all the crypto coins in existence today is roughly $46.56 billion. This means out of the $46 billion in trades among all the crypto assets, stablecoins equate to 81.04% of those trades.

After the Central Bank of Nigeria issued a directive targeting the country’s cryptocurrency industry, bitcoin and altcoin trade volumes on centralized exchanges immediately plunged. Nevertheless, the new regulations seem to have succeeded in boosting crypto trade volumes on informal markets or on peer-to-peer trading platforms.
