Societe Generale Launches Euro Stablecoin Amid Market Stagnation
PILLAR DIAGNOSTIC // WEEK 08
“The apparent conflict stems from comparing two different metrics: total issued stablecoin supply versus publicly traded market capitalization of USD-pegged tokens. The >$300 billion figure aggregates all stablecoins minted (including escrowed and non-USD pegs), whereas the $30.792 billion market cap tracks only actively circulating USD-pegged tokens on open markets. Once these definitions are aligned, both figures can coexist without contradiction.”
Proposed action
Assign a Low risk posture: continue monitoring reporting standards and ensure future metrics consistently distinguish between total issuance and circulating market cap.
