USDT momentum grows as USDC dominance faces scrutiny



Stablecoins remain the key engine powering DeFi, making the FUD surrounding USDC particularly notable. 

Following the 2022 Terra collapse, when USDT depegged to $0.95, liquidity preferences began to shift. As a result, USDC gained momentum across DeFi rails.

Circle’s IPO further reinforced this trend last year, creating a clear divergence on Solana as market confidence rotated toward USDC while USDT adoption lagged. 

Meanwhile, on-chain data points to continued capital inflows. According to DeFiLlama, stablecoin supply on Solana has climbed 3.5% this week, adding nearly $540 million in fresh inflows and pushing total supply close to its $16 billion all-time high.

Even so, USDC still accounts for over 51% of the supply, reinforcing its dominant position within Solana’s DeFi ecosystem.

However, the recent Drift hack may mark a turning point.

At the market level, the debate is shifting toward risk perception. Traders are now weighing what carries greater systemic risk—USDT’s “occasional” depeg events or exploited funds remaining active when issuers choose not to freeze assets.

Following Tether’s $150 million recovery proposal, Circle now appears higher on the market’s perceived risk scale.

In this context, USDT’s 7.98% monthly growth on Solana compared to USDC’s 3.31% decline doesn’t look like a one-off move.

Instead, it could signal the early phase of a broader rotation, with USDT gaining momentum and positioning itself as a key

has once again sparked macroeconomic debate by suggesting a future model of Universal High Income, where governments distribute direct payments to citizens in response to AI-driven job disruption.
💡 Core idea:
AI and robotics massively boost productivity
Output of goods/services grows faster than money supply
Broad income distribution replaces traditional wage structures
Musk argues this could stabilize purchasing power while preventing severe inflation, even with large-scale cash distribution.
📊 Why this matters for markets
If such a system were ever implemented, it could significantly reshape global liquidity flows:
Income becomes widely distributed across millions of individuals
Capital concentration in institutions weakens
Retail participation in markets increases sharply
🚀 Potential impact on crypto
The cryptocurrency market, being one of the most accessible risk assets, could benefit strongly from this shift.
Historically, periods of stimulus and increased disposable income have led to:
Higher retail participation
Strong altcoin and DeFi cycles
Increased speculative liquidity inflows
Because of its accessibility, 24/7 trading, and high upside potential, crypto is often one of the first destinations for excess retail liquidity.
📉 But liquidity alone is not enough
Analysts also caution that:
Capital inflows without conviction often lead to volatility
Sustainable growth requires strong narratives, utility, and adoption
Liquidity must align with long-term ecosystem development
🧠 Bigger picture
A world where millions receive baseline income could structurally increase risk appetite and reshape how capital enters speculative markets — with crypto positioned as one of the primary beneficiaries.
📌 Bottom line: AI-driven wealth redistribution may not just change labor markets — it could fundamentally alter how liquidity flows into crypto and other risk assets.

He said in a post on X that if autonomous AI agents begin buying, selling, booking, hedging, and settling transactions on their own, they will need money built for internet speed.

Armstrong added that stablecoins and tokenized dollars are the most likely fit. This would make AI growth a direct driver of demand for dollar-backed digital assets.

Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

DAO price has been on a massive run since the beginning of the month, rising over 7550%, forming highs close to $20. After a near-parabolic move from $2 to $19.66, the price is now pressing against a key resistance zone while momentum begins to slow. The rise has been largely driven by aggressive short liquidations and not steady organic demand, which raises the concern on the sustainability of the rally. 

As the price tightens within a structure, signs of buyer exhaustion emerge. The focus shifts from upside potential to risk management. The real test is whether this is a continuation set-up or the start of a deeper correction.

South Korea is kicking off a pilot that will replace government expense credit cards with blockchain‐based deposit tokens.

Blockchain Goes TradFi?
The Ministry of Finance and Economy announced on an official press release that the pilot project for the execution of national treasury funds using blockchain‐based digital currency has been approved.

This new official venture marks the second time in which South Korea’s government uses digital currency and deposit tokens for the execution of national treasury funds, following another pilot project for building electric‐vehicle charging facilities and paying national subsidies together with the Ministry of Environment.

Deposit tokens are digital claims on commercial bank deposits, issued on permissioned blockchain rails, spendable by citizens and companies at participating merchants and service providers.

In simpler words, deposit tokens are digital versions of the money already kept in a normal bank account. The bank “wraps” those deposits into tokens on a private (permissioned) blockchain, and you can then spend those tokens at approved shops or service providers, just like using a card or mobile wallet.

In contrast with Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), that are digital versions of a country’s official money, created and managed directly by its central bank, deposit tokens have programmable settlement, transparent tracking of public money, and real‐time reporting for the state.

Pilot Details
The press release states that under the current National Treasury Funds Management Act, business promotion costs and related operating expenses are required to be paid with government purchase cards, effectively blocking the use of deposit tokens. Thanks to the new regulatory sandbox, those same payments can now be made with deposit tokens, creating a real‐world testbed for a new government

This simple indicator has called every bottom since 2015. It hasn't triggered yet



Here is something worth noting about bitcoin . Beneath all the noise from daily price swings, X posts and macro headlines, there is a remarkably simple indicator that has quietly called every major market bottom since 2015. Not once, but every single time.

To the dismay of bulls, it hasn't fired yet, suggesting the broader bear market may not be over, and the recent bounce to $75,000 from $65,000 could be a temporary recovery.

The indicator

It involves two lines on the price chart. That's it, no complex formula, analysis of blockchain data needed.

These two lines represent bitcoin's average price over the past 50 and 100 weeks. They act as simple moving averages, showing near-term and long-term trends in bitcoin's price.


Most of the time, the 50-week average is above the 100-week line. That's the natural state for markets that trend upward over time, as is the case with bitcoin.

But occasionally, during periods of peak fear, when selling is relentless, and sentiment has collapsed, the 50-week average falls below the 100-week average. This crossover is known as a bear market signal.

It has occurred three times in bitcoin's history. Each time, it has coincided with the end of a bear market, marking major price bottoms that have not been revisited since.

In other words, it's been a contrary indicator, ironically marking bottoms rather than deeper downturns.

Three times, three bottoms

Look at the vertical lines on the chart going back to 2015. These mark the three bearish crossovers – April 2015, February 2019, and September 2022. Each one occurred near the bottoming phase, not precisely at the lowest point, but within the same range.

In 2015, $BTC was written off as a failed experiment. Then the crossover happened. $BTC subsequently rallied from $200 to near

Brian Armstrong Says AI Agents Could Drive Massive Digital Dollar Demand


Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says the next wave of AI could become a major source of digital dollar demand.

He said in a post on X that if autonomous AI agents begin buying, selling, booking, hedging, and settling transactions on their own, they will need money built for internet speed.

Armstrong added that stablecoins and tokenized dollars are the most likely fit. This would make AI growth a direct driver of demand for dollar-backed digital assets.

Agentic commerce isn’t priced in yet. Machine-to-machine payments will increase demand for the digital dollar beyond current estimates.

The agentic economy could be larger than the human economy. We're building the infrastructure for both at Coinbase.

— Brian Armstrong (@brian_armstrong) April 16, 2026

AI Agents Could Become New Economic Users

Armstrong said current forecasts may be missing one major transition, i.e., AI agents acting as independent economic participants.

Instead of humans clicking payment buttons, software agents could transact automatically. They may pay for data, computing power, software access, logistics, advertising, and services without waiting for manual approval.

This creates machine-to-machine payments at scale. If millions of agents operate continuously, transaction demand could rise much faster than current models expect.

Why the Digital Dollar Benefits

Most stablecoins are already pegged 1:1 to the US dollar. This means more usage often means more dollar demand.

JPMorgan recently estimated stablecoins could generate up to $1.4 trillion in added dollar demand by 2027 if the market grows strongly.

Today, about 99% of the $325 billion stablecoin market is tied to the dollar. If the sector expands toward $2 trillion, dollar inflows could become material.
