In the wake of the 2021 bull run, the aggregate supply of these stablecoins skyrocketed from a modest 25 billion to a staggering 162 billion by February 2022. The tide turned, however, and the supply dwindled down, mirroring the downturn of Bitcoin (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\/\">BTC<\/a>) in 2022. As of now, the combined supply of the top five stablecoins is approximately 120 billion.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time since April 2022, the supply of these leading stablecoins has begun to swell again, with the inflection point occurring on Oct. 19. Intriguingly, this expansion coincided with a surge in Bitcoin, suggesting a potential return of on-chain liquidity after a protracted bear market. This could provide Bitcoin with a much-needed buoy.<\/p>\n<p>CryptoSlate\u2019s recent observation further corroborates this notion: the influx of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/insights\/steady-influx-of-stablecoins-helps-fuel-bitcoins-price-surge\/\">stablecoins into Bitcoin<\/a> was a major catalyst propelling Bitcoin past the $30,000 mark in October. Therefore, tracking this trend of stablecoin supply growth could be vital in forecasting Bitcoin\u2019s market dynamics.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, USDT constitutes a substantial 70% of the market capitalization of the top five stablecoins, accounting for 85 billion. Recently, CryptoSlate reported on the reducing supply of two of these, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/binance-backed-busd-circulating-supply-drops-to-less-than-3b\/\">BUSD<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/insights\/usdc-circulation-decreases-by-a-further-300-million-in-24-hours\/\">USDC<\/a>. However, DAI presents a different story with its circulating supply of 5.3 billion, which appears to have reached its lowest point this year at approximately 4.4 billion. Meanwhile, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/could-a-new-surge-in-tusd-supply-trigger-another-btc-rally\/\">TUSD<\/a> has continued to experience a surge, currently standing at a robust 3.3 billion.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_371028\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-371028\" style=\"width: 1326px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-371028\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aggregated market cap percentage change: (Source: Glassnode)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/insights\/new-growth-in-supply-of-top-stablecoins-could-signal-a-return-of-on-chain-liquidity\/\">New growth in top stablecoin supply could signal a return of on-chain liquidity<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\">CryptoSlate<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick Take The recent data analysis illuminates an intriguing trend: a return to growth in the supply of the top five stablecoins \u2013 USDT, USDC, BUSD, TUSD, and DAI \u2013 after a period of contraction.
