What role can BTC play in the rising USA's debt?
🚨The stablecoin market, currently valued at $172.7 billion, has seen a significant drop in transfer volumes since May 2024, declining from a peak of $3.6 trillion to $1.2 trillion in October. Despite some growth in the market's value, with stablecoins primarily issued on Ethereum (48.9%) and Tron (34.92%), transfer activity has slowed due to a shift in sentiment, reduced speculative trading, and regulatory pressures. Yield-bearing stablecoins like USDE are also being held longer as investment assets, contributing to the decline in active transfers. Info via Bitcoin.com here https://shorturl.at/c2MGX)
