Stablecoin Supply Reaches Highest Level Since May 2022, Indicating Continued Capital Inflow into Crypto Market

The combined supply of the top three stablecoins - USDT, USDC, and DAI - has reached a new high of $141.42 billion, indicating continued capital inflows into the crypto market. Despite Bitcoin's recent decline in momentum, the rising supply of stablecoins provides reassurance to Bitcoin bulls as it suggests a potential for dip demand. Stablecoins have become the primary mechanism for purchasing cryptocurrencies and trading derivatives, with traders increasingly preferring stablecoin-margined futures. Other indicators, such as Bitcoin's MVRV Z-score, suggest that the path of least resistance for Bitcoin's market value is on the higher side.

  • Vitalik: The ultimate decision on the success of cryptocurrency is the practical application of technology

    Vitalik, the co-founder of Ethereum, recently stated on the "Bell Curve" podcast that the actual application of technology determines the success or failure of cryptocurrency. If cryptocurrency can become mainstream, or at least a trusted alternative like Linux, then it can be considered a success.For example, Ethereum accounts can replace social account logins, or cryptocurrency can become a part of the financial system, DAO can become an alternative for enterprises or non-profit organizations, and decentralized social media or prediction markets can succeed.On the other hand, if the cryptocurrency field is remembered as a group of idealists gradually decreasing their cries, or a group of people trading digital monkeys and celebrity photos, it would be a disappointing result.

  • New Stablecoin Bill Introduced in US Senate to Regulate Dollar-Pegged Digital Assets

    Senators Cynthia Lummis and Kirsten Gillibrand have proposed a new bill that aims to establish definitions for dollar-pegged digital assets and their issuers. The bill mandates that payment stablecoin issuers meet reserve and operational requirements, including creating subsidiaries specifically for issuing stablecoins. Additionally, stablecoin issuers must deal in dollar-backed tokens and ensure their tokens are fully backed by reserve assets. The proposed legislation seeks to define how stablecoins will operate in the US and would prohibit algorithmic stablecoins. There are ongoing discussions about attaching stablecoin legislation to a must-pass bill reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration, and Senator Sherrod Brown has indicated that specific safeguards must be included for the legislation to move forward.
