Record stablecoin supply and $10T volume show liquidity is rising but still partly parked on the sidelines.

Stablecoin liquidity is expanding again as recent reports point to renewed capital circulation across crypto markets. Transfer activity has accelerated sharply, while total supply now sits at record levels. On-chain settlement appears to be regaining structural momentum.

Stablecoin Market Rebounds to New Highs, DEXs Capture 56% of Activity

As per data from Dune Analytics, the combined stablecoin balance stands at about $329.6 billion. Last month alone, the sector pulled in over $10 trillion in transfer volume, the strongest monthly reading since April 2022. Decentralized exchanges made up 56% of all stablecoin activity during that time.

In recent years, the stablecoin supply has moved through three main phases. From 2020 to 2022, balances grew quickly and reached nearly $200 billion. During the 2022–2023 market drop, supply slid to around $140–150 billion. 

However, growth returned in the succeeding year. And now balances have climbed above $320 billion, setting a new record.

Stablecoins pegged to USD continued activities within the sector. In comparison, its non-USD counterparts account for just over $2 billion combined. For context, this figure is less than 1% of the total stablecoin supply. 

Data Reveals Billions Flowing In and Out as Positioning Shifts

Data from Kaiko gives a clearer view of market trends by looking at Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoin dominance. During the market downturn, many investors moved into stablecoins for safety. And in turn, this increased their share of the market.

As confidence slowly returned, some of that money rotated back into risk assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Even so, stablecoins still hold a larger share of the market compared to earlier cycles.

Current positioning implies liquidity is present but not fully committed.

  • Significant capital remains parked in stablecoins.
  • Risk rotation has resumed but remains measured.
  • Speculative allocation has not reached prior extremes.
  • Ample “dry powder” still sits on the sidelines.

According to CryptoQuant, daily inflows of $1–2.5 billion occurred frequently over the past two years. Oftentimes, these large inflows happen before traders open spot or futures positions. At the same time, heavy outflow days exceeding $1 billion reflect rapid capital relocation.

Stablecoins Shift On-Chain as DEX Activity Rises and $80B Sits on CEXs

Recent data shows that stablecoins are steadily leaving centralized exchanges, while activity on DEXs continues to rise. This suggests funds are moving on-chain rather than leaving the crypto market.

Even so, centralized exchanges still hold around $80 billion in stablecoins. That represents significant sidelined buying power. With total supply at record highs, overall market liquidity remains solid.

Stablecoin velocity now matches supply growth, with $10 trillion in monthly transfers confirming faster capital turnover. Even more, rising DEX participation suggests structural evolution in how liquidity circulates.

Satoshi-Era Mt. Gox’s 1,000 Bitcoin Wallet Suddenly Reactivated

The post Satoshi-Era Mt. Gox’s 1,000 Bitcoin Wallet Suddenly Reactivated appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. X account @SaniExp, which belongs to the founder of the Timechain Index explorer, has published data showing that a dormant BTC wallet was activated after hibernating for six years. However, it was set up 13 years ago, according to the tweet — the time when Satoshi Nakamoto’s shadow was still casting itself around, so to speak. The X post states that the tweet belongs to infamous early Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox, which suffered from a major hack in the early 2010s, and last year it began paying out compensation to clients who lost their crypto in that hack. The deadline was eventually extended to October 2025. Mt. Gox’s wallet with 1,000 BTC reactivated The above-mentioned data source shared a screenshot from the Timechain Index explorer, showing multiple transactions marked as confirmed and moving a total of 1,000 Bitcoins. This amount of crypto is valued at $116,195,100 at the time of the initiated transaction. Last year, Mt. Gox began to move the remains of its gargantuan funds to pay out compensations to its creditors. Earlier this year, it also made several massive transactions to partner exchanges to distribute funds to Mt. Gox investors. All of the compensations were promised to be paid out by Oct. 31, 2025. The aforementioned transaction is likely preparation for another payout. The exchange was hacked for several years due to multiple unnoticed security breaches, and in 2014, when the site went offline, 744,408 Bitcoins were reported stolen.
