Tether Mints Another 1B USDT – $7B in Stablecoins Issued Since The Crash

Tether has just minted another 1 billion USDT, only hours ago, reigniting debate over stablecoin-driven liquidity flows across the crypto ￰0￱ mint comes at a crucial time — Bitcoin is struggling to reclaim higher levels after weeks of volatility, while altcoins continue to bleed as if a full-blown bear market were ￰1￱ mints tend to inject liquidity into exchanges, providing the capital needed for traders and market makers to re-enter positions or stabilize volatile price ￰2￱ not always an immediate bullish catalyst, they frequently precede recoveries in market sentiment and ￰3￱ latest mint follows a wave of renewed uncertainty across the crypto landscape, with investors closely watching Bitcoin’s $110K level as a make-or-break support zone.

Altcoins, meanwhile, are experiencing double-digit declines, raising concerns that risk appetite remains ￰4￱ history is any indication, this new influx of stablecoin liquidity could be setting the stage for a short-term rebound — or at least a temporary relief rally — as liquidity begins to circulate across major exchanges and derivative markets in the days ahead. A Liquidity Wave That Could Shake the Market According to data from Lookonchain, Tether and Circle have collectively minted over $7 billion in stablecoins since the October 10 market ￰5￱ surge in new supply marks one of the most significant liquidity injections since midyear, sparking speculation about its potential impact on Bitcoin and the broader crypto ￰6￱ mints on this scale often act as precursors to major price ￰7￱ not a direct form of buying, they indicate that fresh capital is being positioned to enter the market — typically through market makers, institutional desks, or exchanges preparing for renewed trading ￰8￱ this context, the $7 billion influx suggests that liquidity conditions are improving after the sharp drawdown that liquidated billions in long positions earlier this ￰9￱ Reading: 2,496 Bitcoin Moved After Years Of Inactivity – Long-Term Holders Take Action However, such rapid capital movement can also heighten ￰10￱ this liquidity begins to circulate, it can amplify both sides of the market — first triggering relief rallies as buyers re-enter, and then sharp corrections as leveraged positions ￰11￱ Bitcoin, the timing is especially ￰12￱ BTC still struggling to hold above $108K–$110K, this new liquidity could determine whether the next move is a bullish breakout or another leg lower.

Historically, large stablecoin issuances have preceded upward shifts in Bitcoin’s price, but in a fragile market, they can also fuel speculative whipsaws. Tether’s USDT Dominance Rebounds As Traders Seek Stability Tether’s market dominance has risen sharply to around 5.06%, signaling a notable shift in sentiment as investors move capital into stablecoins amid heightened market ￰13￱ weekly chart shows a strong rebound from the 4.6% level, with USDT dominance now testing resistance near the 100-week moving ￰14￱ uptick coincides with the broader crypto market downturn following Bitcoin’s failure to hold key support at $110K and widespread selling across altcoins.

Historically, rising USDT dominance reflects increased demand for safety — traders exiting volatile assets and parking capital in stablecoins to wait for clearer market ￰15￱ pattern often precedes periods of accumulation, as sidelined liquidity builds up, ready to re-enter once confidence ￰16￱ a technical standpoint, the structure suggests that a sustained breakout above 5.2% could extend the dominance rally toward 6%, a level last seen during previous market corrections. However, rejection here would imply stabilization and potential capital rotation back into risk ￰17￱ image from ChatGPT, chart from ￰18￱
