Definition
The total amount of coins held on exchange addresses.
STBL is a virtual asset that aggregates the data of all ERC20 stablecoins supported on Glassnode, thereby creating a metric that sums up all exchange balances across stablecoins.
Stablecoins included are: BUSD, GUSD, HSUD, DAI, USDP, EURS, SAI, sUSD, USDT, USDC.
Quick Take
- Less than $30 billion worth of stablecoins now sits on exchanges, the lowest amount since December 2021.
- In the past four months, almost $15 billion worth of stablecoins has been withdrawn from exchanges.
- Most withdrawals have come from BUSD, but USDC and USDT have also seen withdrawals from exchanges recently.
- We expect this trend to continue as the economy heads risk-off and redemptions occur from stablecoins into fiat.
