Stablecoins in 2025: The Breakout Year In Review (And What Comes Next...)

Stablecoins led one of the most important years in crypto progress.

Supply surged. Yield went onchain. Tokenization exploded. Now, a handful of protocols started to separate themselves from the rest.

In this episode, the StableWatch team breaks down what actually happened in stablecoins this year, why growth accelerated so fast, and which yield-bearing models we think matter heading into next year.

We review the data, apply numbers to narratives, and make clear predictions for 2026 across yield, RWAs, and onchain credit.


We discuss:

• How yieldcoins grew from $7B to $22B+

• Which models are winning: Ethena, Sky, Maple, Ondo, Securitize (And why...)

• Why Sky’s yield compressed while Ethena surged

• How tokenization quietly became one of crypto’s strongest narratives

• RWAs, onchain credit, and where real demand is coming from

• Why DeFi benefits when risk-free rates fall
