Article Summaries:
- Binance’s stablecoin reserves have fallen 18.6 % since November, dropping from $50.9 billion to $41.4 billion, according to CryptoQuant. The exchange still holds roughly 64 % of all stablecoin reserves on exchanges, making the decline a notable signal of tightening liquidity. The broader market cap of stablecoins has plateaued at just over $300 billion since October, after a two‑year rise that stalled following the Terra/Luna collapse. Analysts warn that without a renewed inflow of stablecoins, liquidity conditions are unlikely to improve soon, especially as the Federal Reserve shows little appetite for rate cuts.
