On-chain data shows the exchange inflows related to the stablecoins USDT and 
USDC have seen a sharp plunge. Here&#8217;s what this could mean for Bitcoin and 
other cryptocurrencies. Stablecoin Exchange Inflows Have Dropped Below Yearly 
Average In a new post on X, CryptoQuant author Axel Adler Jr has discussed 
about the latest trend in the Exchange Inflow of the top two stablecoins in 
the sector, USDT and USDC. The &#8220;Exchange Inflow&#8221; refers to an on-chain 
indicator that keeps track of the total amount of a given asset that&#8217;s moving 
into the wallets associated with centralized exchanges. Generally, investors 
may deposit their coins into these platforms when they want to trade them 
away, so a high value on the Exchange Inflow can indicate demand for swapping 
the cryptocurrency. For volatile assets like Bitcoin, this is something that 
can naturally be bearish for the price. Related Reading: Dogecoin Must Hold 
This Level—Or Risk A 30% Price Crash In the case of stablecoins, however, 
their price doesn&#8217;t see any impact from exchange deposits, since it always 
remains, by definition, stable around whatever fiat currency the asset is 
tracking. That said, stablecoin inflows aren&#8217;t without consequence. Investors 
usually deposit these assets to swap into a volatile cryptocurrency of their 
choice. As such, coins like Bitcoin can see a bullish effect from an Exchange 
Inflow spike related to these fiat-tied tokens. Now, here is a chart that 
shows the trend in the combined Exchange Inflow of the top two stablecoins, 
USDT and USDC, over the past few years: As displayed in the above graph, the 
Exchange Inflow of USDT and USDC shot up to a very high value at the end of 
last year, a sign that the investors were making massive deposits of these 
stablecoins. Alongside the spike in the indicator, the Bitcoin price observed 
a rally to a new all-time high (ATH), a potential sign that the stablecoin 
inflows may have helped provide the fuel for the run. At the peak of the 
spike, the metric reached a value of $131 billion per day. From the chart, 
it&#8217;s apparent that since then, the indicator has been following a downward 
trajectory and today, its value has come down to $70 billion per day. Related

represents a significant decline of $61 billion since the high. Though, while 
the indicator is indeed notably down compared to the peak, its current level 
is still high in the context of the wider cycle so far. Naturally, if this 
drawdown in the stablecoin Exchange Inflow keeps up, it could potentially turn 
out to be a bearish sign for Bitcoin and other digital assets. That said, even 
though BTC went down earlier in the year, its price is still above the 
$100,000 mark right now, a possible sign that investors may simply be entering 
a phase of consolidation. Bitcoin Price Following a surge of about 2.5% over 
the last 24 hours, Bitcoin has managed to recover back to the $108,100 level.
