Love the concept of the analysis but is there evidence to support the major assumption that working hours are 9-5 amongst stable coin users. If thats not true the inferred geographies fall down
That’s a great point, Tim. Thank you for raising it!
We used the 9 a.m.–5 p.m. local window as a directional proxy rather than a strict assumption. While stablecoin users can transact 24/7, the aggregated hourly activity shows clear regional peaks that align closely with typical working hours in each major time zone. For instance, Tron and BSC activity peaks match Asia/Middle East daytime hours, which is consistent with known user distributions.
So while there’s some noise from night owls and early risers, the 9–5 framing holds up directionally for identifying where clusters of users are most active.
