This Metric May Be The One To Watch"},"content":{"rendered":"
The on-chain analytics firm Santiment suggests that this indicator may be the one to watch to get hints about when Bitcoin might rebound.<\/p>\n
According to Santiment<\/a>, the movements of the dolphins and sharks of the top stablecoins<\/a> like Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) may be relevant for the price of Bitcoin.<\/p>\n Generally, investors make use of these fiat-tied tokens whenever they want to escape the volatility associated with other assets in the market, like BTC. Such investors, however, are likely to buy back into the volatile cryptocurrencies, as holders who are truly exiting the space do so through fiat.<\/p>\n When these investors feel that the prices are right to jump back into the other coins, they simply exchange their stablecoins for them. Naturally, this shift can act as buying pressure for the market they are moving into, and thus, provide a bullish boost<\/a> to the asset’s price.<\/p>\n To check whether there is any significant conversion of stables happening into Bitcoin and others right now, Santiment has looked at the data for the supply of the relatively large stablecoin investor groups.<\/p>\n More specifically, the combined holdings of the dolphins and sharks are of interest here. These holders generally hold between 10,000 and 100,000 BTC on their balances.<\/p>\n Now, here is a chart that shows how the supply of these investor cohorts has changed for USDT and USDC over the last few months:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As displayed in the above graph, the dolphins and sharks of the two largest stablecoins in the sector have seen their combined supply move mostly sideways during the last few weeks.<\/p>\nLooks like the two metrics haven't shown much movement in recent days | Source: Santiment on Twitter<\/a><\/pre>\n
