Stablecoin Deposits Now Outpace BTC at Major Crypto Casinos
James Wilson 09 January 2026
USDT and USDC deposits have overtaken Bitcoin at several large operators as players look to avoid price swings mid-session.
Operators report that dollar-pegged stablecoins now account for the majority of deposit volume, up sharply year on year.
The reason players give is simple: a Bitcoin balance can lose value during a long session regardless of how the bets go, while a stablecoin balance does not.
Casinos have responded by adding more stablecoin networks and, in some cases, quoting bonuses directly in USDT rather than a local currency.
