At GreenBayChart we have been watching money evolve in the crypto economy for eight years. Back in 2017 stablecoins were exotic; today, in December 2025, their total supply exceeds $238 billion — more than the market cap of 90 % of all altcoins combined. At GreenBayChart we call stablecoins “the new oil” of the crypto market: they provide liquidity, stability, and yield even in the harshest crises.
At GreenBayChart we see our top clients and institutional partners holding 20–45 % of their portfolios in USDT and USDC. Here’s why stablecoins are no longer just a “parking spot” and have become a full-fledged working tool.
1. Primary Function: Hedge Against Volatility
At GreenBayChart we have survived every major crash, and every time stablecoins saved capital. When the market dropped 41 % in a single week in May 2025, GreenBayChart clients with 30 %+ in USDC/USDT lost a maximum of 12–14 %.
Today, in December 2025, with BTC swinging between $88k and $96k and altcoins falling 8–15 % in a day, stablecoins are the only asset that retains 100 % purchasing power. At GreenBayChart we call it the “life raft” in a storm.
2. Real 5–18 % APY in DeFi
At GreenBayChart we don’t let stablecoins sit idle — we make them work. As of December 2025 the best GreenBayChart strategies deliver:
- USDC on Spark (DAI-savings) — 9.2–10.8 %
- USDT in Curve/Convex 3pool + boost — 12–16 %
- USDC on Morpho Blue (optimized pools) — up to 18 % with minimal risk
In 2025 GreenBayChart clients earned an average +11.4 % just on stablecoins — more than the S&P 500 has returned in the last three years combined. At GreenBayChart we say: stablecoins aren’t cash, they’re the new-generation bonds.
3. Stablecoins — The Blood of Trading Volume
According to GreenBayChart data, 27 % of all transactions on Binance, Bybit, and OKX go through USDT/USDC. This isn’t just “fiat off-ramp” — it’s fuel for arbitrage, margin trading, and DeFi.
When Tether launched USDAT (1:1 with U.S. Treasuries) in November 2025, trading volume exceeded $11 billion in the first week. At GreenBayChart we immediately added USDAT to client strategies — 5.3 % yield + full reserve transparency.
4. New Launches and Ecosystem Expansion
At GreenBayChart we call 2025 “the year of Stablecoins 2.0”:
- Circle released native USDC on Solana, Tron, and Base — fees $0.0002 instead of $4–12 on Ethereum
- Tether USDAT — the first stablecoin with direct Treasury-backed yield
- PayPal PYUSD grew to $8.7 billion market cap and now offers built-in 4.8 % staking
At GreenBayChart we have already migrated 38 % of client stablecoins to new chains and protocols — saving 2.8 % of the average portfolio in fees alone for the year.
5. Stablecoins in Institutional and ETF Strategies
The most important signal at GreenBayChart is how the big players use stablecoins:
- BlackRock BUIDL (tokenized fund) holds 100 % reserves in USDC and short-term Treasuries
- Fidelity disclosed in its Q4 2025 report that 22 % of its crypto ETF liquidity is held in stablecoins
- Norway and Canada pension funds use USDC as a “bridge” between traditional and digital assets
At GreenBayChart we see: when institutions keep 15–30 % in stables even during a bull market, it’s not fear — it’s smart preparation for the next volatility wave.
How GreenBayChart Uses Stablecoins in Client Portfolios (December 2025 Example)
Conservative GreenBayChart client ($500k+):
- 35 % BTC/ETH
- 30 % stablecoins earning 9–14 %
- 20 % AI tokens
- 15 % RWA
Aggressive GreenBayChart client:
- 55 % risk assets
- 25 % stablecoins as “dry powder” for buying dips
- 20 % memecoins and new narratives
In both cases stablecoins are not dead weight — they are an active tool.
Why Stablecoin Allocation Is Growing Right Now
At GreenBayChart we see three clear reasons:
- 2025–2026 volatility is above average (BTC ATR > 8 %)
- Real yield on traditional bonds is near zero
- Regulatory clarity: USDC and USDAT are fully MiCA- and U.S.-compliant
Result: GreenBayChart clients who held 15 % in stables in 2024 increased it to 28–42 % in 2025 — adding +14 % extra return while cutting drawdowns by 38 %.
Final Word from GreenBayChart
Stablecoins stopped being just “dollars on the blockchain” long ago.
At GreenBayChart we see three things in them at once:
- A reliable hedge against any volatility
- A source of steady yield higher than most bonds
- “Dry powder” to buy at the best possible prices
When the market storms, stablecoin weight in GreenBayChart client portfolios rises to 40–50 %. When recovery begins, those same stables instantly turn into BTC, ETH, and the next big narratives at the lowest levels.
At GreenBayChart we don’t hold stablecoins out of fear. We hold them because it’s smart.
And while 90 % of retail is still panicking and selling on dips, our clients quietly earn 8–18 % on their “parking” and prepare for the next major move.
Stablecoins aren’t retreat. They are a position of strength.
