Reserves of "stablecoins" on centralized exchanges have risen to $93 billion, with Binance accounting for about 57% ($53 billion). This is stated in a report by Binance Research, which ForkLog reviewed.

In 2026, the trading volume of perpetual contracts tied to TradFi exceeded $1.1 trillion, with Binance leading at around $500 billion (~47%).
At the same time, four of the six fastest-growing stablecoins—USYC, USD1, U, and RLUSD—are supported within the Binance ecosystem and the BNB Chain blockchain.

According to researchers, the liquidity of stablecoins has become one of the strongest competitive advantages in the crypto industry, as scaling allows for the creation of a more reliable and faster infrastructure for users.
This is significant as "stablecoins" transform into a leading investment asset.
The trend is supported by figures—since 2022, Binance Earn has distributed over $1.2 billion in rewards in stablecoins among more than 14 million users.

"For many people, stablecoins are not speculation but financial infrastructure. In 87% of fiat currencies, users pay a premium just for access to the on-chain ecosystem. This serves as a reminder that digital assets are increasingly becoming a means of saving where local currencies struggle," concluded Binance Research.
It is worth noting that in 2026, crypto exchanges processed transactions with RWA totaling nearly $1 trillion, with Binance accounting for a significant portion of the volume—60.9%.
