Highlights
- Tether Pumps $1 Billion Liquidity with USDT In Just 12 hours.
- Stablecoin liquidity pumps provide strong catalyst for the market to rally.
- The Bitcoin liquidity cycle is currently in its warm up phase, says analyst Will Woo.
Liquidity seems to be entering back into the crypto market as the bitcoin price pumped all the way to $67,000 amid the cooling down of the US CPI data. There’s been a strong stablecoin influx at the crypto exchanges in recent times. This could probably serve as a strong catalyst for the crypto market rally ahead.
Tether Mints $1 Billion USDT
According to data from Lookonchain, the Tether Treasury recently minted an additional $1 billion worth of USDT tokens, with the latest minting occurring 13 hours ago. Over the last month, Tether has minted an additional $3 billion in USDT with its market cap soaring from $108 billion, to now over $111 billion.
The Tether Treasury has now minted a total of 31 billion USDT tokens on the TRON and Ethereum blockchains over the past year. These newly minted USDT tokens have played a significant role in influencing the price of Bitcoin (BTC), contributing to its surge from $27,000 to $73,000.

Thus, the boost in stablecoin liquidity can trigger another fresh rally in Bitcoin, and the broader cryptocurrency market.
According to CryptoQuant, a recent surge in stablecoin inflows has been observed, indicating a notable increase in liquidity entering the cryptocurrency market. The influx of liquidity has the potential to influence the supply and demand dynamics of Bitcoin, potentially leading to heightened price volatility in the market.
Bitcoin Liquidity Cycle Still At Lower End
Cryptocurrency market analyst Willy Woo has provided insights into Bitcoin’s current liquidity cycle, describing it as akin to a warm-up phase.
According to Woo, Bitcoin is presently consolidating below its all-time highs, with indicators suggesting a relatively low long-term risk during this period. He emphasizes that the risk factor typically increases when significant market activity occurs, implying that the current phase remains relatively stable.
