Stablecoin supply just dropped $14.2B in 30 days — biggest bleed since June 2022. $USDT and $USDC alone shed nearly $11B. That's not rotation, that's exit liquidity draining out of crypto into dollars.
When stablecoin supply contracts this hard, it means demand is gone. No dry powder sitting on exchanges waiting to buy dips. Last time we saw a similar flush (~$30B in mid-2022), $BTC bottomed five months later at $15.5k.
$USDT trading under peg right now. Small signal, but it confirms the broader picture: capital leaving, not entering.
Glassnode's take is right — stablecoin supply needs to start growing again before we can call a real bottom. That's when new money shows up. We're not there yet.
Short-term? This is a headwind. You can't rally without fuel, and the fuel tank is leaking. I'm still long-term bullish into 2027–2030, but right now the market structure says sit tight or fade rips. No conviction longs until we see stablecoin inflows reverse.
$BTC $ETH $COIN all range-bound until the money comes back.
