PANews reported on October 1 that CEX.io's latest research report showed that the stablecoin transfer volume in the third quarter of 2025 reached a record high of US$15.6 trillion, but about 71% of the trading activities were related to automated trading robots.

Despite the dominance of bot trading, the report also noted that stablecoin usage by retail investors (transactions under $250) reached a record high in the third quarter. The report predicts that 2025 will be the most active year ever for retail stablecoin usage, with total annual trading volume expected to exceed $60 billion.

Stablecoins also performed strongly in Q3 in terms of net inflows, recording a total net inflow of over $46 billion. USDT led the way with nearly $20 billion, followed by USDC and USDDe with $12.3 billion and $9 billion, respectively.
