The five-year supply of non-USD stablecoins has nearly doubled, while their market share continues to decline, reaching 0.24%.
May 20: The supply of non-dollar-pegged stablecoins has surged over the past five years, but their share of the overall stablecoin market hasn’t budged upward. Per Artemis data, as of April 2026, the total supply of non-dollar stablecoins—including those pegged to the euro, Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, Singapore dollar, etc.—climbed from $261 million in May 2021 to roughly $771 million.

On May 20, Sarah Breeden, deputy governor of the Bank of England, told attendees at the 2026 London City Week conference that tokenization technology can lower settlement costs, speed up transaction times, and boost competition in financial markets—so long as trust mechanisms and interoperability are properly in place.
Breeden stressed that while private-sector innovations like tokenized deposits and regulated stablecoins are advancing quickly, central bank money will always be the bedrock of the monetary system. She laid out a blueprint for a diverse payment ecosystem where, alongside traditional bank deposits, the public can also use tokenized deposits, regulated stablecoins, and possibly a retail central bank digital currency (CBDC) for transactions. More competition in tech and business models will cut user costs and enhance functionality.
