Ethereum layer 2 Celo is challenging Tron’s position as the blockchain with the most daily active addresses using stablecoins. The seven-day moving average of the measure on Celo has climbed to nearly 700,000, nearly matching Tron’s tally, according to data tracked by Artemis. The surge follows Tether’s decision to deploy its industry-leading dollar-pegged stablecoin, USDT, on Celo in March. Since then, USDT worth over $200 million has been issued on Celo. On Wednesday, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin cheered Celo’s progress on X, galvanizing investor interest in the CELO token. As of writing, the cryptocurrency traded at 63 cents, representing a nearly 20% gain on a 24-hour basis, according to CoinDesk data.
