Ethereum reclaims DeFi market as bots drive 480 billion USD stablecoin volume

Ethereum is experiencing a resurgence in 2025, reclaiming its place in the DeFi sector. The reduction in transaction fees early this year has re-attracted users who had migrated to competing blockchains and layer-2 networks.

In May 2025, automated bots enabled 4.84 million stablecoin transfers on Ethereum’s mainnet, achieving a total volume of 480 billion USD. Stablecoin swaps represented 37% of the total trading volume on Ethereum’s decentralized exchanges in April.

Analysts predict that Ethereum’s emphasis on stablecoins reflects a more significant move towards real-world utility. To remain leading in stablecoins, Ethereum must address issues related to liquidity fragmentation and transaction costs.
