The Ethereum network features a return in 2025 while the activity based on bots and the growth of the stablescoin repel the main maint in the center of decentralized finance (DEFI).
On June 4, the Cex.io trading platform reported that automated bots had facilitated 4.84 million stablecoin transfers on the blockchain of the Ethereum layer 1 in May. The volume has reached $ 480 billion, its higher to date.
Illia Otychenko, Crypto Exchange Cex.io’s main analyst, linked the overvoltage of activity to reduce transaction costs in the first quarter of 2025, which contributed to reverse a multi -year liquidity and migration trend of users to rival blockchains and layer 2 networks of etherum.
For this reason, the market capitalization of the stablecoin of the Mainnet increased by 11% in 2025, removing the market share from its layer-2. While the market share on the part of Stablecoin brands has recovered, the combined market of Stablescoin on L2S has only decreased by 1%.
Bots contribute to the efficiency of the market and the adoption of the stable
The bots, which have received a lot of criticism for extractable value strategies and controversial sandwich attacks, are now recognized for their role in improving the liquidity and efficiency of decentralized trade in Ethereum (DEX).
Cex.io said these robots had pushed Stablecoin exchanges for the first time up of the Ethereum Dex categories. In April, Stablecoin exchanges represented 37% of the total volume of trading Dex sur Ethereum and 32% in May.
The change in commercial behavior within the Ethereum ecosystem reported a broader emphasis on uses of utility and use cases focused on payment. During the change, the USDC of the circle 
USDCUSD has become the most negotiated asset on Ethereum.
These changes indicate that Ethereum takes up the market share and pushes defined towards more stable and effective mechanisms. If Ethereum can maintain a low -frequency environment, the network is well positioned to become a layer of settlement for stablescoin, robots and challenge infrastructure.
The analyst says that the development of Stablecoin is not only a phase
Otychenko told Cintelelegraph that Ethereum’s growing accent on Stablecoins is not only a market phase, but a signal for actual adoption by taking root. “Speculative tokens come and go, but stablecoins stick because they solve real problems,” he said, highlighting a growing demand for fast, reliable and borders on emerging markets.
Although DEFI focused on utility can cement Ethereum as a stablecoin layer of regulation, the analyst warned that the maintenance of the advance requires more than a simple momentum; The network must meet existing challenges such as liquidity fragmentation.
“The network must resolve the fragmentation of costs and liquidity between layers,” Ottchenko told Cointelegraph. “It is not only a technical problem. This will decide if Ethereum leads or is late in the next adoption phase.”
