His post was in response to a recent<a href="https://x.com/artemis__xyz/status/1835690553012588876" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> report</a> by the blockchain data provider Artemis.xyz that <a href="https://dune.com/blockchains/celo" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Celo</a> exceeded the Tron blockchain regarding daily active addresses for stablecoin usage in September 2024.

Celo has experienced a significant increase in adoption by major stablecoin operators in 2024. In March 2024, Tether confirmed that the blockchain now supports its flagship stablecoin, USDT.<a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://tether.to/en/transparency/?tab=usdt" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> According</a> to the leading stablecoin operator by market cap, there are currently $209 million worth of USDT tokens based on Celo in circulation as of September 25, representing 0.18% of Tether’s overall USDT circulation.
A month before, Circle, the issuer of the second-largest stablecoin, USDC,<a href="https://www.circle.com/blog/usdc-now-available-on-celo" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> introduced</a> the USDC tokens on the Celo platform. According to official USDC<a href="https://www.circle.com/en/multi-chain-usdc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> data</a>, the stablecoin has accumulated a supply of $40 million on Celo since its launch.
Meanwhile, this endorsement comes after the Ethereum co-founder revealed his vision of “cross-chain interoperability” for the Layer 2 scaling solutions on the network. According to his latest post, Celo appears to be moving in line with these goals for decentralization and accessibility.&nbsp;
Buterin highlighted Celo’s transition from a standalone Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible blockchain to an Ethereum Layer 2 protocol. Notably, Celo is currently running two L2 testnets, Dango and Alfajores. The<a href="https://defi-planet.com/2023/07/clabs-outlines-plan-to-migrate-celo-blockchain-to-ethereum/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> transition</a> to an L2 solution is expected to offer advantages such as better integration with Ethereum and enabling its community to innovate with more assurance and broader reach.
In the hours following Buterin’s post, there was a slight rally in the blockchain’s native token,<a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/celo/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> CELO</a>, on Binance. There was an increase in trading volumes and a rise in its market price from $0.55 to $0.64.&nbsp;
