Five-Day Tether (USDT) Contraction Pressures Bitcoin (BTC) Recovery Signal

Bitcoin (BTC) is facing mixed stablecoin signals: Tether (USDT) lost nearly $1 billion in market value over five days, while its 60-day market-cap trend had been improving toward flat after reaching lower levels around midyear. The two measures cover different periods. The longer-term trend had improved, but the recent contraction means that improvement has not yet become sustained expansion. A decline in USDT alone does not establish that capital is leaving crypto markets overall. Liquidity may shift to other stablecoins, and ETF demand can reach Bitcoin through a separate route.
