There isn’t much difference, really. USDT is just the most popular because it handles a much larger volume. All stablecoins work across several networks, and the fees depend on which network you’re using. For example, transferring USDT on the TRX (Tron) network is way cheaper in fees compared to using the ETH (Ethereum) network.

The popularity of these stablecoins is easy to see in their massive 24 hours trading volumes:

USDT: over $200 billion
USDC: over $12 billion
USDE: over $250 million

That volume alone explains why USDT stays on top.

Man that volume on USDT is insane haha.. I guess usde is the newest there. Hearing it's backed by blackrock and they've made an investment

It is worth mentioning that USDE is not backed by fiat.

That makes sense, which is why it has the lowest trading volume among the three. Most of its volume is coming from Uniswap and Bybit. I'm wondering why Binance not listing it yet, probably because the coin is still new, and the demand isn’t high enough to justify the listing? And, with regulations tightening up and seeming to favor centralized platforms over decentralized ones, it’s no surprise that demand leans towards centralized coins like USDT. Since USDE is under DeFi, it naturally challenge in terms of adoption.

You have a point. seems cmc haven't updated their data yet for USDE because of its new

Didn't see bybit, Bitget here. It'll get to binance, might just take time. Since USDE is under defi, could holders get yields?

it's the same thing, all these USDT, USDC and USDE is just stablecoin, exchange like to present you with various stablecoin pair because why not and I'm sure these exchanges also having partnership with these stablecoin providers.
but usually there's this one difference that may causes people to stick with just their favourite stablecoin such as the liquidity and trading volume.

the USDC pair is lacking liquidity compared to USDT and the USDE pair is lacking liqudity compared to both.
just stick with what you see as the most reliable and have the most volume I guess. also, if somehow one of the stablecoin you mentioned is in danger of losing peg, you can always switch to the alternative.

The coin is new is another thing to consider. Also I think most people that have the coin prefer to just stake it. Binance fully supported FDUSD which has 24 hours trading volume of over $10 billion but USDe marketcap is higher. Not only that as USDE is still having lower trading pair to those coins. Not yet on many exchanges like USDT and USDC. If the coin can be listed on more well recognized exchanges and having more trading pair, the marketcap and trading volume will definitely increase.

Hi. Happy new month everyone. I've noticed that many exchanges offer a variety of spot trading pairs, with USDT being the most popular. However, I've also seen USDC and USDE pairs available. This makes me curious—are there specific advantages or differences when using these pairs in terms of transaction fees, liquidity, or other trading benefits? How do they compare in terms of popularity, stability, or utility for traders? Would one stablecoin be better suited for certain types of trades or market conditions than the others?  

For spot traders with more knowledge, I'd be nice to hear your views about this..

Do more research if you are into trading as such questions are not suitable for a trader whose objective is to get profit. I assumed you are a trader, considering your question.

Coming back to your topic, all these are coins that are directly
proportional to the dollar value. They are considered as stable coin as they follow the USD price. They are using different blockchain and that is why they use different tickers for crypto exchange.

I hope my reply is is sufficient and those above me for you to close this thread. Please ensure that you don't spam you own thread by allowing similar replies.

USDE is a new stable coin and on the exchanges that it is paired with other coins, the pairs are not many  On most exchanges, USDT has the highest pairs which is followed by USDC.

USDT support many networks than USDC but USDC network are becoming more than before. I have only seen USDE on only ethereum network.

About trading benefits, it depends on the exchange.

It is worth mentioning that USDE is not backed by fiat.
