Giving Block, a platform for raising money, reported that in 2025 it helped organisations get more than $100 million in stablecoin donations. A change in US legislation may have contributed to this increase.
Giving Block, a website for raising money using cryptocurrencies, said that donations with stablecoins had gone up a lot in 2025 compared to other years.
The Giving Block noted in its annual report released on Wednesday that there had been a “major shift” in donations made with stablecoins, especially Ripple USD RLUSD$1 and Circle’s USDC USDC$1. The company said that in 2025, it helped make more than $100 million in crypto donations, with more than $32 million coming from USDC, RLUSD, Tether’s USDt ($1), Dai ($1), and other stablecoins.
The research concluded, “The trend is clear: stablecoins are no longer a side story in crypto philanthropy they’re becoming one of its fastest-growing channels.”
But it is intriguing to note that Ripple Labs may have given the $25 million in RLUSD straight to the nonprofit groups DonorsChoose and Teach For America in May. According to its 2025 annual report, The Giving Block thought it might get up to $2.5 billion in total crypto donations.

Stablecoins gain ground in crypto philanthropy
Givepact, another platform for crypto donations, said in July that stablecoins had “quickly become the most donated asset in crypto philanthropy,” based on data from the Giving Block. The site added that the stablecoin payment bill that became law in the US in 2025 made the assets “cash-equivalent,” which “removes any remaining worries about issuer solvency, especially for nonprofits that depend on a stable donation value.”
Givepact said, “Even when the market is down, donors are willing to give in stablecoins. This helps nonprofits avoid volatility and process donations faster.” “This trend is speeding up now that the GENIUS Act is in existence. Stablecoins are no longer just useful; they are also recognised by the federal government and trusted by institutions.
Market structure debate focuses on stablecoin yield
Many industry experts and lawmakers disagree on the subject of stablecoin rewards as the US Senate looks at a bill to create a comprehensive market framework for digital assets. The Senate Banking Committee hasn’t set a new date for a markup to talk about the bill yet, even though it was put off in January. The White House has met with industry leaders three times to talk about how the government would deal with stablecoin yield.
On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump used social media to tell banks not to “hostage” the market structure over digital assets. Many crypto businesses and interest groups are against the measure’s ban on stablecoin rewards. The full Senate could vote on the law’s final wording.
