According to Chainalysis, the US remains the main exporter of digital dollars, while American investors and institutions are increasingly accumulating bitcoin. In 2026, the country became a net importer of bitcoin for the first time since 2022 by aggregate cross-border flows. Transfers over $10 million brought in 53,200 BTC.
At the same time, 99.1% of trading volume in stablecoin order books was in dollar-pegged tokens. According to Circle, $73.3 billion USDC was in circulation at the end of the quarter — 19% more than a year earlier, while the quarterly on-chain transaction volume with the token reached $14.8 trillion.
The US also dominates in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA). In Q2 2026, the global RWA market reached $36.07 billion, up 135% for the reporting period. The largest category was US government bonds — $15.42 billion, or 42.8% of the total value of tokenized assets.
