Stablecoin liquidity stays idle at $319B as Ethereum activity slows – Why?


A divergence emerged on Ethereum [ETH], where stablecoin liquidity remained present, yet network activity declined during Bitcoin’s [BTC] consolidation phase.

At press time, Tether [$USDT] Active Addresses fell to 202,300, while USD Coin [$USDC] dropped to 109,300, marking the lowest levels since mid-December. Meanwhile, this decline reflected reduced transactional demand on Ethereum, as users held stablecoins without deploying them.

This behavior signals caution, where capital stays idle despite being available, aligning with a prolonged range-bound structure below $75,000. However, as Bitcoin gradually approaches this level, conditions begin to shift.

If momentum strengthens, Ethereum activity may recover, allowing sidelined liquidity to re-enter, increasing volatility; otherwise, continued inactivity may extend consolidation across the market.

Ethereum usage grows despite activity slowdown

However, a deeper structural layer began to emerge on Ethereum, where long-term usage trends contrasted sharply with recent activity declines.

While current engagement weakened, quarterly stablecoin transfer volume continued to rise, now breaching the $8.5 trillion mark, reflecting sustained settlement demand.

Switzerland’s Crypto Valley funding rose 37% in 2025 as TON led deals

Switzerland’s Crypto Valley captured 47% of European blockchain venture funding in 2025, raising $728 million across 31 deals, according to an annual report released Wednesday by venture firm CV VC.

Globally, blockchain venture funding rose 30% to $15.5 billion across 986 deals last year, while Crypto Valley’s total climbed 37% from $531 million in 2024, the report said.

One deal did much of the heavy lifting. The Open Network (TON) accounted for $400 million of Crypto Valley’s 2025 funding haul, followed by Sygnum Bank at $58 million, stablecoin platform M0 at $40 million, Impossible Cloud Network at $34 million and CratD2C at $30 million, according to the report.

The figures suggest Switzerland remains Europe’s main blockchain funding hub, but they also show capital concentrating into fewer, larger rounds.

Blockchain networks attracted 62% of total funding, followed by infrastructure at 14%, centralized financial services at 10% and decentralized finance applications at 10%, the report said.

Global energy markets remain highly sensitive as geopolitical tensions continue to disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz — one of the world’s most critical oil transit chokepoints, typically responsible for around one-fifth of global crude and gas flows.
Since the escalation of conflict involving the U.S. and Iran, shipping conditions in the region have remained volatile, with restrictions and security risks reshaping how energy flows are managed. Despite this, a growing number of non-Iranian tankers have managed to transit the strait, signaling cautious but ongoing efforts to stabilize supply chains.
Several Asian economies have been actively working to secure energy imports through diplomatic coordination and logistical planning. Vietnam recently received Iraqi Basra crude via a VLCC that successfully entered the Gulf after an earlier failed attempt. Malaysia has also secured passage for multiple vessels carrying crude from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Iraq, ensuring continued supply flows.
China has maintained steady imports, with multiple VLCCs chartered by major trading arms successfully transiting the strait in early April. India has likewise continued receiving shipments at key ports such as Mumbai, Paradip, and Sikka, while also ensuring LPG deliveries to meet domestic demand. Pakistan and Thailand have also confirmed successful tanker movements through coordinated arrangements and negotiations.
Despite ongoing instability, these developments highlight how major Asian economies are adapting to protect their energy security. Through a combination of diplomacy, commercial coordination, and logistical flexibility, supply chains are being kept operational even under significant geopolitical strain.

$3.5 trillion asset manager Goldman Sachs has officially filed for a Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, per a new SEC filing on Tuesday. Indeed, the bank is moving deeper into crypto with a bitcoin ETF that generates income by selling options on bitcoin-linked funds, following BlackRock’s push into similar yield-focused products.JUST IN: $3.5 trillion Goldman Sachs files for Bitcoin Premium Income ETF. pic.twitter.com/M7U2454ZcS— Watcher.Guru (@WatcherGuru) April 14, 2026A Bitcoin Premium Income ETF typically holds spot BTC exposure, often through shares of an existing spot Bitcoin ETF, and then sells call options on that position to generate option premium income. This “covered‑call” structure collects cash from option buyers and distributes that cash as income, in exchange for giving up part of BTC’s upside above a set strike price.“The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) (“Net Assets”) in investments that provide exposure to bitcoin,” the filing reads. “Such investments include exchange-traded products (“ETPs”) that hold bitcoin (the “Spot Bitcoin ETPs”), options on Spot Bitcoin ETPs and options on “Bitcoin ETP Indices,” which are indices that track ETPs that hold bitcoin (the options on such indices, together with the options on Spot Bitcoin ETPs, are the “Bitcoin ETP Options”). The Fund may hold shares of Spot Bitcoin ETPs and Bitcoin ETP Options directly, consistent with the limits of the US federal tax law requirements applicable to registered investment companies, and/or in a wholly owned and controlled foreign subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, the Goldman Sachs Bitcoin Premium Income Portfolio CFC(the “Cayman Subsidiary” or “Subsidiary”). “Also Read: DJ Steve Aoki Exits Cryptocurrency Market After Heavy LossesGoldman Sachs has become larg

Крипто-советник Crypto Jack поделился в недавнем сообщении X, что, хотя весь рынок падал, Bonk держался лучше большинства. Это показывает реальную силу, и он может готовиться к серьезному движению. Аналитик Джонатан Картер поделился, что он успешно пробил выше расширяющегося клина сопротивления на дневном графике, а объем подтвердил движение. Этот прорыв может привести к дальнейшему росту в ближайшие дни. Ключевые цели впереди — $0,0000255, $0,0000371 и $0,0000592. BONK также только что пробил свой недельный нисходящий тренд впервые с ноября 2024 года. Если он прорвет следующее сопротивление, мы можем увидеть новый ATH и ценовое открытие.
