Bitcoin Breaks $98,000 as Stablecoin Inflows Hit All-Time Highs Near $10 Billion

As a seasoned researcher with years of experience in the volatile and intriguing world of cryptocurrencies, I find myself intrigued by the recent surge in stablecoin inflows to cryptocurrency exchanges, a phenomenon that has historically been a precursor to significant price movements in the market. The record $9.7 billion monthly inflow, as highlighted by Leon Waidmann, is not only the largest ever but also serves as a testament to the growing investor interest in digital assets.


An increase in deposits of stablecoins into digital currency platforms has sparked discussion that Bitcoin might achieve the significant goal of reaching $100,000 by the close of November.

In recent times, the amount of stablecoins flowing into digital currency exchange platforms has soared to approximately $10 billion, implying that investors are increasingly putting more funds into the crypto market, likely due to rising prices.

As per data from Glassnode, reportedly shared by Leon Waidmann who heads the Onchain Foundation, there was a record-breaking inflow of approximately $9.7 billion worth of stablecoins into cryptocurrency exchanges over the past 30 days, marking the largest monthly influx to date.

According to the analyst’s analysis, the graph indicates that speculative interest in cryptocurrencies is consistently rising significantly. The consistent flow of stablecoins into exchanges implies that investors are transferring their funds to these platforms with the intention of purchasing digital currencies.

At present, there’s a surge of stablecoin inflows into cryptocurrency exchanges, coinciding with a strong market rally for cryptocurrencies. Notably, Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, has reached a new peak trading price above $98,000 following a 7.2% increase over the last seven days.

Over the last seven days, Ether, the second-largest digital currency in terms of market value associated with Ethereum, has surged by approximately 2.5%, currently trading at around $3,300 per token. Furthermore, various other cryptocurrencies such as Solana, XRP, Cardano, TRON, and Avalanche have experienced price increases over the same period.

According to a report from CryptoGlobe, the biggest Bitcoin owners or “whales” have yet to cash in on Bitcoin’s significant price increase this year. Instead, they appear to be continuing their strategy of amassing more Bitcoin at its current market value.

Based on reports from the on-chain analysis company IntoTheBlock, the largest Bitcoin wallets have experienced relatively small outflows this year. This trend indicates that these large holders continue to accumulate Bitcoin, suggesting a high degree of faith in Bitcoin’s future prospects.

The strong conviction from major investors serves as a crucial sign of market opinion, following a period where it emerged that cryptocurrency investment items experienced an unprecedented $33.5 billion influx so far in 2021, with over $2.2 billion added during the last seven days.
