稳定币总供应一周缩水 66.6 亿美元，为 Terra 崩盘以来最大单周降幅；但 USDT、USDC 锚定稳固、资金按面值赎回，与此同时支付量飙升 45%——钱少了，流转却更快了。
The scariest number in crypto this week isn't Bitcoin's price.
Stablecoin supply just fell $6.66B in seven days — the steepest weekly drop since Terra collapsed in 2022.
And almost nobody panicked.
In May 2022, a drop like this meant the peg was breaking.
This time $USDT held $0.99892 and $USDC $0.99945. The dollars left via redemptions at par — not a discount.
Same size hole. Opposite meaning: the market can now tell a liquidity drain from a confidence crisis.
Here's the twist: supply flatlined (+0.4% Jan–Sep) while payments surged 45% to $482B — velocity doubled to ~30 transfers a month.
Fewer dollars in crypto. Each one moving faster. Agents paying per API call are part of why.
The fuel gauge isn't the tank anymore. It's the flow.
