Stablecoins being converted into Bitcoin approach a four-year high

As stablecoins continue to leave exchanges, they are being converted into Bitcoin at one of the fastest rates in years.

Definition

The Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR) is the ratio between Bitcoin supply and the supply of stablecoins denoted in BTC, or: Bitcoin Market cap / Stablecoin Market cap.

We use the following stablecoins for the supply: USDT, TUSD, USDC, USDP, GUSD, DAI, SAI, and BUSD.

When the SSR is low, the current stablecoin supply has more “buying power” to purchase BTC.

Quick Take

  • CryptoSlate reported that less than $30 billion of stablecoins now sit on exchanges โ€” a drawdown of $15 billion in the past four months.
  • The SSR confirms that stablecoins are moving into Bitcoin and are approaching four-year highs โ€” showing a severe change rate.
  • I also tweeted about this on March 17, showing the outflows from stablecoins entering into Bitcoin.
  • This tells us in the crypto ecosystem, Bitcoin is the most risk-off asset out there โ€” which is also why alt coins are performing poorly against Bitcoin.
