    Analyzing USDC, USDT, and UST (wormhole) popularity in swaps on Jupiter since December 1st

    Introduction

    • Set caching options to make your swap as speedy or as precise you wish.

    Method

    This analysis will visualize the following on Jupiter since December 1st:

    1. Value of USDC, USDT, and UST (wormhole) Swapped from or Swapped to
    2. Number of swaps with one side of USDC, USDT, and UST (wormhole)
    3. Number of daily swaps with one side of USDC, USDT, and UST (wormhole)
    4. Number of stable coin swaps and Number of other tokens swaps
    5. Value of stable coins swaps with each other

    Analysis

    Total Amount of USDC, USDT, and UST (wormhole) Swapped from or Swapped to

    As you can see, in both directions the USDC is the dominant stable coin in the Total Amount of Transactions, having almost 73% (2B out of 2.739B and 1.6B out of 2.25B) of the total amount. After that again in both directions, USDT is the second dominant stable coin (almost 16%) and UST has the lowest Total Amount of Transactions (almost 11%). By looking at the numbers, it can be seen that there is a big gap between USDC and USDT (1.6M in swapped from and 1.3M in swapped to) but USDT and UST are close.

    Without any difference with the total amounts, USDC has the most number of transactions in both directions with 87.5% dominant (2.276M out of 2.6M and 2.187M out of 2.5M). Again USDT and UST are in second and third places respectively. In the Number of transactions, the difference between USDC and USDT is even bigger than their gap in the total amount of swaps ( 87% to 10%). Also in this category, USDT and UST are not close and they have an almost 8% gap.

    Number of daily swaps with one side of Stablecoin

    For better understanding the situation and changes in their behavior, we can analyze the total number of their transactions day by day

    As you can see in the graphs since December 1st, all three of them have almost the same daily distribution but since January 14th in the From direction and January 11th in the To direction, UST started an increase in the number of transactions and it passed 1% of the daily distribution among stable coins.

    Number of stable coin swaps and Number of other tokens swaps

    Now it is time to compare the number of swaps with one side of stable coin

    As you can see in both directions, USDC is the most swapped token. USDT is number 4 in both directions and UST is number 13 in the From direction and number 9 in the To direction. But what percentage of all Jupiter swaps are stablecoin swaps? we will show it in the following graphs:

    Overall more than 50% of all the swaps in both directions contain one stable coin (52.8% and 50.5%).

    Conclusion

    • Currently, USDC is the dominant stable coin among other stable coins, and also it is the most swapped token in both directions on Jupiter
    • Over 50% of swaps on Jupiter contain stable coins in one side of them
    • Over time, with the increase in usage of UST as a stable coin, we are seeing an increase in the number of swaps with one side of UST but for now, most of it will be swapped to other stable coins

    Value of stable coins swaps with each other

    In this table, you will see how much of stable coins swaps were related to swaps between each other.

    As you can see 770M of their swaps was between each other (almost 26% of 2.74B ). An interesting point is the total value of swapped UST. UST had the lowest total value of swaps in stable coins (262M) and according to our data 251M of it swapped to other stable coins and the other 10M is swapped to the other tokens which show that on the Solana network we do not have a great use for it and after arriving UST from Terra network, most of it will be swapped to other stable coins.
