![Stablecoin outflows into Bitcoin begin to repeat – behaviour change shifting Bitcoin towards $25k](https://cryptoslate.com/wp-content/themes/cryptoslate-2020/imgresize/timthumb.php?src=https://cryptoslate.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/bitcoin-Insights-2.jpg&w=70&h=37&q=75)
Definition
This chart measures the 30-day change in stablecoin buying power on exchanges. It considers the 30-day change in major stablecoin supplies on exchanges (USDT, USDC, BUSD, and DAI) and subtracts the USD-denominated 30-day change in BTC flows.
The barcode displayed at the bottom of the chart 🟠 will signal when the 30-day USD volume of BTC (i.e., inflows are occurring).
Quick Take
- Roughly $3.8 billion of stablecoins have left exchanges in the past 30 days, and some have flown into Bitcoin.
- Since the FTX collapse in November 2022, almost $11 billion worth of stablecoins has left exchanges.
- During the initial FTX collapse sell-off back, stablecoin outflows occurred, but no notion of converting into Bitcoin but fiat.
- However, as the dust settled, stablecoin outflows started to go into Bitcoin from January 2023 – indicating a change of behavior in investors.
- News filtering regarding BUSD and stablecoins could be a trigger to see new inflows into Bitcoin from stablecoins.
