    According to Cointelegraph, DefiLlama data shows that the market value of stablecoins has grown for 11 consecutive months, reaching a historical high of $168 billion (currently about $168.1 billion), surpassing the previous peak in March 2022 ($167 billion). This data does not include algorithmic stablecoins, whose value is maintained through algorithmic mechanisms rather than being linked to external assets such as fiat currency or gold.Crypto analyst Patrick Scott believes this is a sign of "new money flowing into the cryptocurrency space." In his X post on August 26th, he wrote, "Stablecoins have reached a new all-time high. The total market value of stablecoins, excluding algorithmic stablecoins, has now reached a historical high, surpassing the previous high in early 2022." When asked by another user if institutional investment was driving this increase, although he did not speculate on the reason for the increase, he did point out that "retail trading has been ongoing for at least eight months."According to CCData's report in July, stablecoin trading volume decreased by 8.35% last month due to reduced trading activity on centralized exchanges. The report noted that concerns about the future of USDT in Europe due to MiCA regulations were one of the reasons for the decrease in stablecoin trading activity on centralized exchanges in July. According to CoinMarketCap's data, this trend has continued into August, with current market trading volume slightly above $46 billion.
