Analysis: Stablecoin market cap has shrunk by nearly $15 billion since May, as liquidity continues to exit the crypto market.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated in a post that since May, the total market capitalization of stablecoins has shrunk by nearly $150 billion, falling from roughly $2.8 trillion to $2.66 trillion. He noted that from last October to this May, the total stablecoin market cap remained largely sideways, meaning either no new liquidity entered the crypto market during that period, or the scale of new liquidity was insufficient to drive further growth in stablecoin market capitalization. At present, even if Bitcoin (BTC) can stabilize, market demand has not recovered, and insufficient liquidity is limiting BTC from making another upward breakthrough. Meanwhile, the continuous decline in stablecoin market cap since May reflects not only a lack of new capital in the market, but more likely that existing liquidity is gradually exiting the crypto market. In this scenario, even if BTC temporarily stops its decline, it still faces pressure from insufficient capital demand.
