Stablecoin supply fell $14.2 billion in the 30 days to Nov. 11, the biggest drop since June 2022, meaning holders are redeeming into dollars and leaving the market with less fuel for a rally. Bitcoin is already near 11-week lows and 30-day demand dropped by 284,000 BTC, the sharpest since March 2025. A return of stablecoin supply growth would be the first signal of new money, but none is present yet.

USDT, the largest stablecoin by market cap, is trading slightly below its $1 peg, which Glassnode attributes to the same investor pressure rotating out of the stablecoin market. The depeg is slight and framed as redemption pressure rather than solvency trouble, limiting the price relevance for the token itself.

❓ FAQ

BTC · Why does stablecoin supply matter for Bitcoin's price?

Stablecoin supply acts as a measure of money available to buy crypto. The $14.2 billion drop over 30 days means investors are cashing out, which onchain analysts say leaves less fuel for a Bitcoin rally.

BTC · Is there any sign the selling could reverse?

Analysts say a turn back to growth in the 30-day stablecoin supply change would be the first sign new money is coming in, but that has not happened yet.

USDT · Why is Tether trading below one dollar?

Data shows USDT trading slightly below its $1 peg, which analysts attribute to the same investor redemptions that shrank stablecoin supply by $14.2 billion in 30 days.
