Further analysis of the chart showed that the market cap began a steady rise around the 14th of December. Until the 31st of December, it increased from around $1.1 billion to over $1.2 billion.

However, the rise became more pronounced at the beginning of February, bringing it to its press time level.

An increase in the stablecoin market cap serves as an indication of increased transactional activity on the network.

The chart depicted a decline starting towards the end of January, with a further decrease in February. At the time of this writing, the volume was around $66.5 million.

This suggested that, despite the upward movement in the stablecoin market cap, other crucial metrics are yet to reflect a notable impact.
