USDT On-Chain Wallets Reach 330 Million in Q3 2024

USDT on-chain wallets represent the increasing reach of the stablecoin across various blockchain platforms. As this number counts only on-chain wallets, it doesn’t account for the millions of users who interact with USDT through centralized exchanges.

In Q3 of 2024 alone, an additional 36.25 million users were onboarded-a quarterly record in the history of Tether. This growth, added to the report, can be mostly pegged to the recent expansions, especially the addition of users both from The Open Network, or TON, and Celo. As compiled by blockchain analytics platforms Chainalysis and Artemis, from Tether, the number of users has grown steadily at an average growth rate of 9% over the year, with the third quarter marking the fastest growth to date.

Ethereum Layer 2 and TON Drive Hyper-growth in USDT Adoption

The wide availability of several blockchain ecosystems means that most of the USDT usage is currently spread between Tron, Binance Smart Chain, and Ethereum. However, the latter’s second-layer solutions—Optimism, Arbitrum, and Polygon—have experienced the fastest-paced growth in the last year. Other blockchains like Avalanche and Solana have also contributed to this hyper-growth in user adoption.

In the case of this high flyer, TON blockchain added 3.3 million users, totalling 1% of all USDT on-chain wallets.
