Traders Prepare for Bitcoin to Hit New All-Time High as Stablecoin Data Indicates Bullish Sentiment
Traders are gearing up for Bitcoin to hit a new all-time high, as stablecoin data suggests a bullish trend in the market. According to a report from KuCoin Research, the increase in stablecoin inflows is driven by the upcoming Bitcoin supply halving event, which is just seven days away.
The report highlights the growing issuance of Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC), indicating a surge in enthusiasm for crypto assets among European and American investors. While some stablecoins saw declines in issuance, the two largest stablecoins by market capitalization, Tether and USD Coin, continue to flow into the market.
Analysts at KuCoin Research noted a significant increase in USDT and USDC issuance in March, with USDT increasing by 5.825 billion and USDC increasing by 3.803 billion compared to the previous month. This surge in stablecoin balances occurred in early March, just before Bitcoin reached all-time highs.
Data from Glassnode shows that Tether’s USDT saw a 192% increase in inflows into exchanges on March 3, coinciding with Bitcoin breaking its previous all-time high on March 5. The correlation between USDT in exchanges and Bitcoin’s price was notably high during this period.
Recent data from Glassnode also indicates a rise in stablecoin balances on exchanges, suggesting that traders are preparing to open new positions in anticipation of Bitcoin resuming its uptrend. Additionally, CryptoQuant data reveals an increase in stablecoin deposits to exchanges over the last few days.
The total stablecoin market capitalization has grown by 2.8% since April 1, with USDT accounting for over 69.1% of the market cap. The growth of stablecoin balances on exchanges and market caps is often seen as a positive sign for market traders’ positioning.
Analysts project that Bitcoin could surpass $100,000 in the near future, with some suggesting even higher price targets. The market awaits to see if Bitcoin will reach these levels, but the influx of stablecoins into the market reflects a growing optimism among traders.
