Bitcoin News Today: Stablecoin Surge Hints at Market Reentry Amid Bitcoin's Volatility

Binance recorded a significant influx of stablecoins, with net inflows exceeding $1.65 billion, signaling renewed interest from traders in the spot cryptocurrency market. This movement came amid a broader market correction and Bitcoin’s fluctuating price, which dipped below $109,000 before recovering. The inflows mark the second time this month that Binance’s stablecoin deposits have surpassed $1.5 billion, a trend analyzed by onchain analytics firm CryptoQuant as a potential indicator of capital preparing to re-enter the market [1].

The surge in stablecoin deposits was accompanied by nearly $1 billion in Ethereum (ETH) withdrawals from the exchange, suggesting that investors are shifting their holdings to long-term storage. This dynamic indicates a mixed market setup, with stablecoin inflows reflecting potential buying intent while Ether withdrawals point to a preference for holding rather than trading. Analysts interpret this as a sign of cautious optimism, with traders waiting for the right entry point following recent volatility [2].

Binance’s dominance in the trading landscape was further underscored by its record-breaking trading volume. On the day of the stablecoin influx, the exchange processed over $29.5 billion in trades, nearly six times the volume of its closest competitor, Bybit. This level of activity cements Binance’s position as the leading exchange by volume and highlights its influence in shaping broader market sentiment [1]. Additionally, Binance’s spot trading volume in 2025 surpassed the combined totals of its top five competitors, reinforcing concerns about liquidity concentration and the potential systemic risks associated with its dominance [4].

Bitcoin’s price volatility was driven by multiple factors, including the sale of 24,000 BTC by a whale over the weekend, which triggered significant liquidations. The impact of this event was compounded by ongoing outflows from US-based Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which saw over $1 billion in net withdrawals last week. However, the trend shifted slightly on Monday when ETFs recorded their first day of net inflows in six trading sessions, offering some positive momentum [1]. Analysts have noted that the ETF outflows are part of a broader six-day streak of net outflows, which have been attributed to polarized investor sentiment surrounding U.S. monetary policy [5].

The market backdrop was further complicated by Bitcoin’s largest divergence from the global M2 money supply in two years. Since the onset of the pandemic, Bitcoin has historically shown a strong correlation with M2, typically lagging by two to three months. While this relationship has provided some predictive value for short-term price movements, longer-term correlations appear more stable when measured against broader liquidity metrics. Raoul Pal, founder of Real Vision, emphasized that total global liquidity provides a more comprehensive view of Bitcoin’s long-term fundamentals [1].

Despite the recent sell-offs and market uncertainty, institutional and sovereign buyers remain active, scaling into positions during the price pullback. This suggests that while retail demand has softened, larger market participants continue to view Bitcoin as an attractive asset class. As the market navigates this inflection point, analysts will closely monitor whether the current volatility leads to a consolidation phase or a more significant decline. The coming weeks will be critical in determining whether the recent inflows into Binance signal a broader market rebound or a temporary pause in a larger correction [7].
