Retail investors are buying into Bitcoin, says CryptoQuant CEO. 138 Total views.
In the days preceding Bitcoin's latest rise in price, stablecoins went wild, exhibiting some largely unprecedented behavior.
On October 18, stablecoins moving to exchanges reached record highs of 60,000 and 56,000 respectively, according to data from CryptoQuant.
The outlet's data tracked USDT on Ethereum, PAX, USDC, TUSD, DAI, SAI, BUSD, HUSD and USDK. When it comes to the total inflow of all stablecoins in terms of the dollar value, no extraordinary trends were detected.
"Depositing from more retail investors usually means the market sentiment is turning into bullish."
Ju believes that the market's high address and transaction count indicates that inflows were coming from a large number of retail investors rather than from a few large players.
The assumption is that investors send stablecoins to exchanges when they plan to convert them to other crypto assets - primarily Bitcoin.
Yesterday, Tether minted 450 million USDT on the Tron network.
Tether's market capitalization quadrupled in 2020, beginning the year with $4 billion and rising to $16 billion at time of publication.
Bitcoin balances on major exchanges fell below 2.5 BTC for the first time in years.
