Top Stablecoins See Steady Decline Over Past Month as Dollar-Pegged Token Economy Shrinks

The top stablecoins have continued to see redemptions over the past 30 days as the dollar-pegged crypto economy currently hovers at $127.32 billion on July 12. The stablecoin BUSD’s supply has dropped below the 4 billion mark as the token’s number of coins in circulation has fallen 16.7% over the last month.

Dollar-Pegged Cryptos Feel the Pinch as Supplies Shrink Steadily

During the past ten days, the stablecoin economy shrank by $890 million after dropping from $128.21 billion to today’s $127.32 billion. Statistics show that the net value of the top dollar-pegged market capitalizations shrunk a great deal since the start of 2023.

On March 26, 2023, the stablecoin economy was worth $135.08 billion, which means $7.76 billion has been removed from the dollar-pegged token economy over the past 108 days.

30-day statistics paint a similar story as four out of the top five stablecoins saw redemptions shrink their supplies. Tether (USDT) saw a slight drop of 0.3%, while usd coin’s (USDC) supply was reduced by 3.9%.

Makerdao’s DAI saw a 5.6% reduction last month and BUSD’s supply dropped by 16.7%. Trueusd’s (TUSD) supply is still up 41.7% for the month but it has dropped under the 3 billion range to 2.88 billion tokens. Over the past 24 hours, the stablecoin economy recorded $26.42 billion in global trade volume.

With BUSD’s supply dropping 16.7%, the supply is now under the 4 billion range with an approximate supply of 3,997,265,401 at the time of writing. Current data shows that Binance holds 3,623,828,575 BUSD in six different wallets.

Furthermore, out of the 2.88 billion TUSD tokens circulating today, 2.45 billion TUSD is also held by Binance. This means 90.65% of the BUSD tokens today are held by the world’s largest exchange and 85.06% of the TUSD supply is controlled by Binance.

With major stablecoins like BUSD and DAI seeing significant supply reductions recently, how long do you think this downward trend will continue? Share your thoughts and opinions about this subject in the comments section below.

Fidelity Discusses Bitcoin as Portfolio Insurance — Could Soon Stand in ‘Stark Contrast’ to Path Fiat Currencies Take

Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, says that bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance. The firm notes that the cryptocurrency “may soon stand in stark contrast to the path that the rest of the world and fiat currencies may take — namely the path of increased supply, additional currency creation, and central bank balance sheet expansion.” Fidelity Says Bitcoin Could Be Portfolio Insurance Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, recently published a research study titled “The Rising Dollar and Bitcoin.” The research outlines “how bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance” as the rising dollar impacts global currency markets. “The strengthening U.S. dollar is wreaking havoc among other countries and may put pressure on the Federal Reserve to soon reverse its tightening monetary actions, something that has precedent based on 1985’s Plaza Accord,” Fidelity explained. In addition, “more monetary debasement may be needed to ...

Economists Discuss Russia, China Potentially Developing Gold-Backed Currency That Could Undermine US Dollar

Economists have weighed in on reports that China and Russia may be developing a new gold-backed currency that could undermine the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s primary reserve currency. Russia and China May Be Developing Gold-Backed Currency Several experts have shared their views on Russia and China potentially creating a new gold-baked currency, Fox Business reported Saturday, emphasizing that China has been buying up huge quantities of gold while Russia was forced off the U.S. dollar due to sanctions imposed on the country following its invasion of Ukraine. The news outlet noted that some experts have cautioned that these moves, along with the closer relationship that has developed between Moscow and Beijing, point to the likelihood of China attempting to launch a gold-backed currency. However, neither Russia nor China has officially confirmed plans for such a currency. Craig Singleton, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a former U.S. diplomat,...
