The measure filters out trading infrastructure and automated activity. That was more than four times the $216 billion recorded in the first quarter of 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The Block Pro Research conducted the study for Coinbase, which commissioned the work. Its Allium-sourced data provides a benchmark for the scale and growth of transfers beyond the excluded parts of the crypto market.<\/p>\n<p>The report&#8217;s filter removes activity involving exchanges, decentralized finance, bridges and other infrastructure, along with automated transactions and stablecoin issuance or redemption. The $891 billion therefore describes the activity remaining after those categories are removed, rather than all stablecoin movements recorded on blockchains.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter shoggoth-infographic shoggoth-infographic-portrait wp-image-574884\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/exec-dc59a364-1620-4892-85df-4adacb6fbf30.png\" alt=\"Comparison of $891 billion in adjusted stablecoin transfers in Q3 2026 with a separate 73% after-hours transfer-volume share over the year ended July 31, 2026.
