Artemis, an institutional data platform for digital assets,&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/artemis__xyz/status/1835690553012588876" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">noted</a> that Ethereum layer-2 blockchain Celo (CELO) recently outperformed Tron (TRX) in daily active addresses. This growth is fueled by stablecoin adoption and usage. This latest development underscores the positive trend toward accessible financial services.

According to Artemis, “transfer sizes across all buckets are growing, indicating its not addresses spamming the network making very small transactions.”
Several other activities have contributed to the increasing stablecoin supply and the growth of the Celo ecosystem. The largest stablecoin issuer, Tether, preminted an additional $200 million USDT on the Celo blockchain, indicating future demand.
Similarly, apps like Minipay and Valora have contributed to the network's growing user base. All these and more have been instrumental in Celo's performance this past month. Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin acknowledged that the L2 protocol is gaining significant traction ion the crypto market. He said Celo's stablecoin pivot marks a unique way to bring value to Ethereum overall.

The stablecoin niche has received considerable attention recently as investors and even governments begin to explore its potential.&nbsp;
About a week ago, global neo-bank and financial technology company Revolut hinted at the&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/revolut-to-launch-us-dollar-stablecoin-details" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">potential launch of its USD-pegged stablecoin</a>.

Blockchain payment firm Ripple Labs Inc. is also preparing to&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/ripple-prepares-for-stablecoin-launch-with-new-burns" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">launch its RLUSD</a>. On Tuesday, “Ripple Stablecoin Tracker” took to X to announce that the firm&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/ripple-issues-big-new-rlusd-batch-ahead-of-stablecoin-launch" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">issued two stablecoin stashes,</a> each containing 485 RLUSD, in the space of eight hours.&nbsp;
This minted token marks one of the latest as it intensifies its testing before full launch.
