Will USDC hit 50% of USDT market cap by December 31, 2026?
38%
Real price history (past month), from Polymarket. Down-sampled to 24 points.
What the market is pricing
The market is priced a bit below even at 38%, reflecting skepticism that USDC will close a significant market-cap gap relative to USDT within the next two years. The slight rise of 1 point over the past day suggests modest recent confidence, but the longer 7-day move of 8 points indicates a modest underlying shift in sentiment over the week. At this level, the market implies this outcome is seen as unlikely but not remote.
How this market resolves
This market resolves Yes if USDC's market cap reaches or exceeds 50% of USDT's market cap on any single day through December 31, 2026, as measured by CoinGecko's historical data. Otherwise it resolves No on January 1, 2027.

What could move it
- Any major regulatory or technical developments affecting stablecoin adoption or trust in either asset could shift perceived likelihood.
- Thin time remains until the December 31, 2026 deadline; large moves in either coin's market cap in the final weeks could rapidly shift odds if the milestone approaches.
