USDT Market Cap Experiences Negative Growth for the First Time in Two Years: Does the Fluctuation in Stablecoins Signal a Mid-term Shift for Bitcoin?
February 11 News, as the largest stablecoin by market capitalization, USDT has recently shown rare signals. Its market cap growth, after expanding for two consecutive years, has turned negative for the first time, sparking market concerns about a weakening mid-term trend. Multiple on-chain indicators show that changes in stablecoin supply are becoming a key reference for measuring risk appetite and liquidity in the crypto market.
Data shows that the 60-day moving average of USDT market cap change, as reported by CryptoQuant, turned negative in February. The last time a similar situation occurred was in the third quarter of 2023. Historical charts indicate that when USDT supply continues to grow, new liquidity often flows into crypto assets; when the growth rate is negative, it suggests funds are more inclined to withdraw from the market rather than wait for a rebound. Analyst Crypto Tice pointed out that a contraction in purchasing power weakens downside support, making short-term rebounds more susceptible to selling pressure.
