Stablecoin metrics

@oxide0x mentioned on Twitter that it would be interesting to show some metrics about stablecoins:

Given the growth of new types of stablecoins, I think there’s definitely some interesting metrics that could be shown here.

Interested to see if anyone else thinks this kind of data could be useful. Thanks David

It will definitely be useful. Building on this post with real-time data will be a good start!

Through some digging I found Larry Engineer’s website - I don’t know where or how he gets his data but it is a start maybe? Stablecoin Dashboard

Not all stablecoins are listed - MIM is missing for instance.

Looks like sourced from coingecko directly:

async fetchData(days: string) {
            console.log(`Attempting to fetch data for ${this.name}...`);
          
          
  try {
              const data: {
                prices: number[][];
                market_caps: number[][];
              } = (
                await axios.get(
                  `https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/coins/${this.coingeckoId}/market_chart?vs_currency=usd&days=${days}}`
                )
              ).data;
          
          
    data.prices.sort((a, b) => {
                if (a[0] > b[0]) return -1;
                else return 1;
              });
          
          
    data.market_caps.sort((a, b) => {
                if (a[0] > b[0]) return -1;
