Bitcoin’s $4B USDT drop signals weakening sell pressure
Bitcoin traders have increasingly looked to stablecoins for clues about where risk appetite is headed. A new data review from CryptoQuant highlights that Tether’s USDT has been shrinking in market value at an unusually fast pace—yet the same patterns in past bear markets suggest the selloff may be approaching its end.
According to CryptoQuant, USDT’s 60-day rolling market-cap change averaged about minus $4.88 billion as of Aug. 10, while the most recent 11-day window saw nearly $870 million of USDT supply disappear. The combination points to a liquidity retreat that typically pressures broader crypto performance, but it also aligns with the late-stage behavior of prior downturns.
Key takeaways
- CryptoQuant reports USDT’s 60-day market-cap contraction remains near $4 billion, one of its sharpest declines on record.
- Nearly $870 million of USDT supply vanished over the latest 11-day period, indicating the contraction is actively continuing.
- The steepest 60-day contraction phase previously peaked around July 13 at approximately minus $5.72 billion.
- CryptoQuant argues that the worst stablecoin drawdowns have historically occurred near exhaustion points rather than at the beginning of further acceleration.
- Weekly RSI divergence arguments from analysts like William Clemente echo a broader “late bear-market” narrative.
USDT contraction tightens crypto liquidity
In a CryptoQuant blog post published last week, the onchain analytics firm described USDT as undergoing “one of its sharpest contractions on record.” The emphasis is not just on the overall size of the decline, but on whether the process is still worsening.
CryptoQuant notes that the deterioration has accelerated “at the margin,” pointing to about $870 million in USDT disappearing over the latest 11-day period. It also frames the 60-day market-cap change metric as a way to gauge sustained redemption pressure rather than one-off redemptions.
From a market mechanics perspective, stablecoins often function as a bridge for capital across exchanges and trading pairs. When USDT supply contracts, liquidity can become less available, reducing the “dry powder” investors might use to buy dips—or to rotate into other risk assets.
CryptoQuant cautions, however, against assuming a clean cause-and-effect relationship between stablecoin flows and Bitcoin’s spot price. In its view, both can respond to the same broader risk-off conditions: redemptions may accelerate alongside spot selling, rather than predictively preceding it.
“The caution is that correlation between USDT flows and BTC price doesn’t settle causality,” CryptoQuant analysts said. They added that sustained USDT expansion has historically coincided with stronger Bitcoin price regimes, while prolonged contractions have aligned with weaker demand and deeper corrections.
Late-stage bear-market behavior, not necessarily a fresh leg down
The key analytical question for traders is whether the USDT drawdown is merely “history repeating” or whether it signals a new intensification of selling pressure. CryptoQuant’s answer leans toward the former.
Historically, the firm argues, the most pronounced phases of USDT contraction tend to occur toward the final chapters of macro downturns, when selling momentum begins to move closer to exhaustion than to further acceleration. In that framework, severe stablecoin redemptions become less a signal to short the next day and more an indicator that the market has already been tested heavily.
CryptoQuant also highlights a specific milestone in the recent contraction cycle: the steepest 60-day decline in USDT market cap completed on July 13, when it reached about minus $5.72 billion. That point matters because it offers a reference level for where “worst-case” pressure may have already been seen—meaning later readings could represent stabilization or easing rather than escalation.
Still, the data in the CryptoQuant update is not painting a picture of immediate normalization. The latest 60-day average remains close to the multi-billion-dollar contraction zone, suggesting liquidity conditions are tight even if selling intensity may be moderating at the margin.
RSI divergence arguments reinforce a “bottoming” thesis
While stablecoin contractions speak to liquidity and risk appetite, technical market indicators often shape how traders interpret timing. The CryptoQuant findings have added momentum to broader “late bear market” narratives, including comparative analysis that points to earlier cycle behavior.
Cointelegraph has reported that some market participants are increasingly aligning with the idea of a new Bitcoin macro bottom forming before the end of 2026, even if the near-term trend remains volatile. In the same broader discussion, independent analyst William Clemente has argued for a cautious “cheap but not done yet” view.
On Aug. 8, Clemente posted on X that he considers Bitcoin “cheap,” while allowing for the possibility of “a leg lower” at some point during the year. Two days later, he highlighted what he described as a bullish divergence between BTC/USD and the relative strength index (RSI) on weekly time frames.
That divergence is widely treated as a leading indicator in technical analysis—particularly because the strongest RSI divergence signals historically appeared during turning points, including at the end of the 2022 bear market. In Cointelegraph’s earlier coverage, RSI divergence was framed as a “classic” reversal signal that coincided with the conclusion of that drawdown cycle.
What to watch next: stablecoin flows and confirmation signals
If CryptoQuant’s interpretation is correct, the most concerning USDT drawdown phases may already have passed their peak, even if contraction continues in the background. For investors and traders, the practical question is whether the contraction rate keeps accelerating or whether it begins to flatten—especially relative to the steepest reading around July 13.
In the coming weeks, market watchers may want to track whether USDT’s 60-day market-cap change continues near minus $4 billion or starts moving toward less negative territory, as well as whether BTC’s technical picture—such as the weekly RSI divergence narrative—gets reinforced by actual trend stabilization rather than only indicator hints. The stablecoin/liquidity story may not be the sole driver of price, but it can shape how quickly the market regains the ability to absorb dips and rebuild demand.
Bitcoin Knots said on August 11 that it plans to choose a new proof-of-work algorithm for the stalled BIP-110 chain after the minority fork produced only two blocks.
The move sets up another confrontation over Bitcoin’s block policy, while the main network continues producing blocks normally.
Knots Pushes New Algorithm as the Fork Stalls
Knots told users not to downgrade or switch to software that weakens Bitcoin’s consensus rules, warning that doing so could expose them to false confirmations from invalid blocks.
Anyone who had already switched was told to upgrade to the latest Knots client, which the project said would attempt to repair the chain state automatically, and miners restarting nodes were told to add the line maxtipage=2592000 to their configuration file.
It also said a new proof-of-work algorithm would be selected at 14:00 UTC on August 11 through a deterministic random process among proposed candidates. A hash was posted alongside the algorithm announcement as what Knots called a proof of fairness for the random selection process.
The announcement came after the BIP-110 chain stopped at block 961,633, as had been reported by CryptoPotato.
“The Bitcoin network is under attack, and block production has slowed significantly,” wrote the Knots team. “The community is preparing mitigations to resolve the situation.”
However, a community note attached to the post pointed out that the main Bitcoin chain had continued normally. It described the reported “attack” and slowdown as affecting only the minority BIP-110 fork, which split at block 961,632 with roughly 2.5% support.
The episode has also exposed a sharp disagreement over what constitutes Bitcoin consensus. In a Sunday post, Adam Back argued that BIP-110 lacked sufficient consensus and that economic users and the market had effectively ignored the fork.
Luke Dashjr takes the opposite view. He wrote that BIP-110 has community support and argued that a proof-of-work change could remove the miners he considers responsible for attacking the fork. He later said, “There’s only one Bitcoin chain, and it just activated BIP110.”
The developer has also reportedly been removed as an editor of Bitcoin’s formal improvement proposal repository this week over what was described as a conflict of interest in how he handled the proposal.
Miners and Developers Remain Split
The mining pool Roughnecks, which had been producing blocks on the BIP-110 branch, announced early Saturday that it was pausing operations, calling the pause an escalation rather than a retreat. By Sunday, it reversed course, saying it would resume mining “ASAP” on the stalled chain tip using software it referred to as Knots-RDTS, adding, “We’re wildcatting again.”
Trey Sellers, a Bitcoin holder active in the replies, questioned the economics of that decision, noting that block rewards need 100 confirmations to mature and the fork was producing at most one block a day. Roughnecks responded that it doesn’t give financial advice and that participants should expect the possibility of no return at all.
By the time Roughnecks posted its Sunday update, the main Bitcoin chain had already reached block 961,865, and later tracking put the gap even wider, with one monitor showing the standard chain at 961,980 against a BIP-110 branch still stuck at 961,633.
Bitcoin’s price barely reacted to any of the drama and was trading around $64,000 at the time of writing, down just over 1% in 24 hours and about 47% below its level a year ago, after twice failing to hold above $65,400 in recent sessions.

Bitcoin (BTC) price stuck below $65,000 as Iran stalemate, Strategy sale squeeze market
The crypto market was little changed on Tuesday after falling overnight as the short-lived optimism around a Strait of Hormuz deal evaporated.
President Donald Trump’s demand for 50 years of compensation from Iran as a condition of any negotiation dashed hopes of a near-term resolution and pushed Brent crude up to $89.08, more than 12% above last week’s low.
Bitcoin has gained 0.26% since midnight UTC, but remains down 1.68% over the past 24 hours. Ether , outpacing bitcoin since midnight, is 2.4% lower on the day. Traditional markets are equally subdued, with U.S. equity index futures remaining flat as traders focus on Wednesday’s CPI report as the week’s key catalyst.
Strategy’s sale of a further 1,690 BTC on Monday, the fourth consecutive weekly reduction, added an extra layer of pressure. The company has not bought bitcoin since June.
Derivatives positioning
- Futures volume surges, open interest flat: Trading volume in crypto futures surged 51% to $143.15 billion in 24 hours. Total open interest (OI) remained steady around $115.6 billion, signaling churn rather than fresh positional trading.
- Taker ratio turns neutral: The long-short taker volume ratio has reverted to neutral, with longs and shorts each accounting for nearly half of volume, versus a bullish tilt a day earlier. A taker is an entity that sucks liquidity from an order book by trading at available prices.
- XRP leads OI gains: Payments-focused token XRP added the most OI of the day, with active futures contracts growing 14% to 2.72 billion tokens, the highest since October. XRP remains under pressure, threatening to dip below $1 for the first time since 2024. The downside pressure is evident in XRP’s negative 24-hour cumulative volume delta (CVD), showing shorts trading more aggressively via market orders than passive limit orders. The lone bright spot: Funding rates remain slightly positive.
- Other OI movers: LINK, ETH and HBAR are among the other OI gainers, while CC, ZEC and AVAX are the leading OI losers.
- Bears lead the price action: Bears appear to be leading price action in most tokens, as evidenced by negative 24-hour CVD for most coins, including bitcoin. LINK and TRX are the exceptions.
- Funding rates diverge: XMR’s funding rate hovers at an annualized 39%, the most bullish among majors, while CC’s sits at -14%, the most negative, indicating an investor bias toward bearish bets.
- Bitcoin volatility index bounces: Bitcoin’s 30-day implied volatility index, BVIV, abandoned its long-held floor of around 36% to jump nearly 5% to 38.64% as BTC’s spot price fell back below $64,000. Traders might want to keep an eye out for a continued spike in the index, given its inverse correlation with spot price.
- Call skew weakens: In the Deribit-listed options market, the one-week call skew in BTC and ETH weakened and may flip negative, suggesting a fresh downside bias if Wednesday’s U.S. CPI print comes in hotter than expected, validating higher-for-longer Fed interest-rate expectations.
- Implied Volatility Stays Compressed: For now, one-week implied volatility for BTC and ETH, calculated from options prices, remains compressed, pointing to little stress ahead of the inflation report.
- Volume leans toward upside bets: The 24-hour volume rankings show a bias toward the BTC $70,000 call expiring Sept. 25 and the $2,000 ETH call expiring the same day.
Token talk
- Curve DAO token was the 24-hour standout, surging 9.49% and extending a weekly gain of 27.29%, making it one of the stronger DeFi performers in a difficult market.
- Lighter (LIT) added to its recovery, advancing 6.40% over 24 hours and 2.26% since midnight to $2.43. It is now up nearly 20% on the week as the decentralized derivatives token rebuilds from its July pullback.
- Chainlink gained 2.59% since midnight, extending a run that has it up 4.40% on the week as institutional demand for oracle infrastructure picks up in tandem with the tokenized real-world asset narrative.
- Zcash (ZEC) led the losses, falling 1.97% since midnight to $486, giving back ground after several weeks of outperformance. The broader privacy coin sector is also under pressure, and XMR shed 0.72%.
- CoinMarketCap’s “Altcoin Season” indicator recovered from Monday’s low of 37/100, rising to 41/100 as investors stepped in to capitalize on oversold tokens.
SharpLink, the second-largest Ether treasury company, reported a net loss of $394 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to a $103 million net loss during the same period last year.
The loss included $321 million in unrealized crypto losses and $76 million in impairments on staked Ether (ETH) tokens, according to a Monday announcement.
The Miami, Florida-based Ether treasury company said it generated $11.5 million in revenue, including $11.1 million from ETH staking. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $56 million, up from $28 million in December 2025.
SharpLink holds 632,784 Ether, worth $1.2 billion, and 181,321 ETH, or $343 million, through various liquid staked Ether tokens, which exposes the company to the second-biggest crypto’s price movement. Ether fell around 23% during the second quarter of 2026, according to CoinMarketCap.
SharpLink resumed its Ether purchases with a $7.8 million buy in late June, after pausing buying for eight months. It bought another 10,000 Ether for about $16 million days later.
SharpLink’s stock price fell 3.9% on Monday, extending its 30% year-to-date decline, according to Yahoo Finance data.
The company ranks as the second-largest Ether treasury company, with its current 863,000 ETH holdings worth $1.46 billion. Bitmine is the largest corporate Ether holder, with 5.54 million ETH, worth $9.4 billion, according to StrategicEthReserve data.

Roughly 450 new coins enter circulation each day while demand absorbs several times that amount. Microsoft Copilot AI predicts that imbalance drives a structurally higher cycle peak, and the price prediction reaches $150K to $200K by the end of 2026 from $63,800.
Spot ETF inflows anchor the demand side. Copilot expects assets under management to exceed $100B across those products.
Corporate treasury adoption is the second channel, surpassing 500,000 BTC held on balance sheets. Those coins rarely return to the market.
The post-halving supply squeeze does the rest. Issuance has fallen to roughly 450 BTC per day against demand running at multiples of that figure.
Regulatory clarity across the U.S., EU, and Asia strengthens the setup. Rate cuts and fiat instability provide the macro tailwind.
The downside has three sources. Persistent inflation would delay the easing cycle entirely.
Restrictive monetary policy compounds that problem. Sudden regulatory shocks are the third risk named.
Any of those could cap upside near $90K to $100K. Copilot settles on a balanced base case of $120K to $150K, with extreme scenarios pointing toward $200K to $250K if supply deficits persist.

The chart shows a market that has already given back a full cycle. Bitcoin peaked near $126,000 last October before the trend broke.
November dragged price toward $81,000. February brought the capitulation move, cutting Bitcoin from $96,000 down near $60,000.
Spring produced a strong recovery to roughly $82,000 by May. June reversed all of it and marked the low around $58,000.
July and August have been range-bound. Price has held a base with slightly higher lows but no breakout attempt. The close reads $63,867, down 1.53% and $991 on the session. The daily range covered $63,737 to $65,333.
Support sits at $63,000, then $60,000 and $58,000. Resistance stacks at $68,000, $72,000 and $80,000. RSI reads 48.14 with its signal line just above at 49.93. The gap is under 2 points, showing sellers with the faintest edge.
Both lines sit right at the midline. Momentum is flat with no direction established.
Copilot describes a supply deficit that this chart has not begun to reflect. Breaking $68,000 would be the first evidence the squeeze is reaching price.

XRP price prediction shows the asset trading at $1.006, down -3.2% on the day, hovering just above the psychological $1 line that traders keep circling like it’s the last life raft on a sinking deck. That’s the withheld part of this setup;
the token everyone expects to bounce is instead grinding against the floor while its peers rally. Something has to break, and the direction of that break decides whether XRP is setting up for a Wave 3 run or another leg down into deeper support.
Analyst EGRAG CRYPTO laid out a roadmap in a recent chart post showing XRP needs to clear $1.30–$1.60, then $1.96, to validate a Wave 3 move toward $3.00–$3.60.
Support sits at $1.00–$0.95, then $0.75, then $0.60–$0.52 if things get ugly. Meanwhile That Martini Guy flagged something odd: Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana bounced last week while XRP fell about 5%, despite continued ETF inflows.
XRP Price Prediction: Can Ripple Hit $1.30 This Week?
XRP price prediction shows the asset trading at $1.006, off 1.34% in 24 hours, with a session range between $1.0038 and $1.0218, a tight band that signals indecision rather than conviction.
TradingView pegs the next resistance at $1.06, with upside targets stacked at $1.35 and $1.64 if momentum shifts. CoinGecko data shows XRP’s 24h low and high sitting right around the current price, confirming the market is coiled, not trending.
The bull case: XRP reclaims $1.06, then pushes through $1.30–$1.60 to confirm Wave 1’s high broke; that’s the trigger EGRAG CRYPTO says validates Wave 3 toward $3.00–$3.60.
The base case: XRP chops between $0.95 and $1.06 while the market waits for a catalyst. The bear case: $1.00 fails as support, sending price toward $0.75 and eventually the $0.60–$0.52 zone. For deeper context on the support structure, this technical breakdown maps out the bull, base, and bear scenarios in more detail.
Bitcoin Hyper Targets Early Mover Upside as XRP Tests Key Levels
XRP holders watching the $1 line know the pain of being early to a chart that refuses to move. Ripple’s ETF demand and rising RWA activity on the XRP Ledger have tokenized assets jumping to $4.06Bn across 373 assets from just $73M in January 2025, building a strong fundamental case, but price confirmation is a different beast entirely.
Waiting on Wave 3 to prove itself is a multi-week bet, not a trade. That’s pushed some capital rotation toward earlier-stage infrastructure plays where the upside math isn’t already capped by a multi-billion-dollar market cap.
Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is building the first Bitcoin Layer 2 with full SVM integration, aiming to deliver smart contract speed faster than Solana itself while anchoring security to Bitcoin’s base chain.
The presale has raised $33,022,820.14 at a current token price of $0.0136845, with staking rewards live at launch (exact APY undisclosed). Its Decentralized Canonical Bridge targets one of Bitcoin’s biggest gaps, programmability, without sacrificing the network’s trust layer.

Two Prime’s loan to MARA carries a fixed interest rate of 7.65% and matures in August 2028. Blume said borrowing demand has increased in recent months, with institutions tapping bitcoin holdings to finance capital expenditure while retaining exposure to the asset.
The structures are also becoming more sophisticated. Recent regulatory filings show agreements with detailed provisions covering margin calls, collateral custody and liquidation, alongside a wider range of loan sizes and maturities.
Lenders including Ledn and Kraken have also expanded the market through asset-backed securities and warehouse facilities linked to bitcoin collateral, according to Blume.
The development could have implications beyond bitcoin lending as more financial assets move onto blockchain-based infrastructure.
“This core competency will grow increasingly relevant as the broader financial system comes on-chain,” Blume said, pointing to tokenized equities as one potential area of growth.
As more publicly traded companies add bitcoin to their balance sheets, the ability to borrow against those holdings is emerging as an increasingly important part of digital-asset corporate finance.
Financial markets’ risk-free rate, the yield on U.S. Treasury securities, is rising again. Crypto maximalists often dismiss this as background noise, but when the rate rises sharply, it often competes for capital with stocks and other assets. History shows that the resulting market adjustments tend to be painful.
Jurrien Timmer, director of global macro at Fidelity Investments, highlighted this dynamic in an X post, noting that rising Treasury yields from the 1960s through the mid-1990s made government bonds competitive with equities.
Investors who ignored the higher opportunity cost of capital learned the hard way from the 1987 crash, known as Black Monday. The Oct. 19 crash sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunging by 508.32 points, or 22.6%, in a single day. It’s still the largest one-day percentage drop in history.
Timmer’s reminder is timely, as yields have generally been rising since the Covid market crash in 2020, echoing the beginning of the multi-decade uptrend that started in the late 1950s. Right now, the 30-year yield is hovering at its highest level since 2007 and could rise further if Wednesday’s U.S. CPI beats estimates, validating higher-for-longer Fed interest-rate expectations.

As XRP volatility persists, EX DeFi is attracting holders seeking passive income through cloud mining while maintaining long-term exposure to their digital assets.
Summary
- EX DeFi is attracting XRP holders seeking cloud mining income while maintaining their long-term digital asset positions.
- The platform offers automated mining contracts for assets including XRP, BTC, ETH and DOGE without requiring users to manage physical hardware.
- EX DeFi promotes diversified digital asset strategies as XRP holders look beyond price appreciation for potential passive income.
Last week, XRP trading volume and ETF inflows saw a marked decline — with ETF inflows dropping by 93% — further fueling investor caution.
Despite an improving regulatory environment for XRP, positive developments have not yet triggered a significant price surge. As ETF inflows slowed sharply, market demand for XRP waned, with institutions shifting some capital toward mainstream digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
While ETF approvals boosted XRP visibility, the 93% drop in inflows indicates that new capital entering the market is significantly lower than during periods of strong performance. The market may interpret this shift as a slowdown in institutional allocation, profit-taking by some investors, or a temporary rotation of funds into lower-risk assets.
Driven by market sentiment, XRP price retreated to recent lows, causing its market capitalization to shrink and resulting in the temporary loss of its position as the world’s fourth-largest digital asset. Heightened short-term volatility has prompted some investors to re-evaluate their XRP investment strategies.
Meanwhile, an increasing number of XRP holders are exploring alternative ways to generate returns and hedge against price pullbacks. Is it possible to mitigate the impact of short-term volatility while generating consistent, additional income from their XRP holdings?
Against this backdrop, the EX DeFi cloud mining platform is attracting growing investor interest. Through a cloud mining yield aggregation mechanism, users can explore diversified income streams, hedge against market volatility, and boost returns—moving beyond a sole reliance on XRP price appreciation.
Despite slowing ETF inflows, long-term prospects remain a focus
Although the recent slowdown in XRP ETF inflows has sparked concerns regarding short-term capital flows, this shift primarily reflects a decline in market risk appetite; it cannot serve as the sole basis for assessing XRP long-term fundamentals.
With Ripple securing MiCA authorization in Europe and the continued expansion of stablecoin and asset tokenization services via RLUSD and Ripple Mint, the infrastructure of the XRP ecosystem continues to mature. Simultaneously, developments on the XRP Ledger — particularly in areas like asset tokenization — are creating new use cases and potential avenues for growth within the ecosystem.
Despite a recent dip in secondary market trading activity and cautious sentiment among retail investors, demand for long-term digital asset allocation remains strong. As regulatory frameworks continue to mature, XRP future development remains a focal point for the market.

Conclusion
Although the pace of institutional capital allocation into XRP ETF has recently slowed — indicating that investors remain cautious regarding current market risks — ETF capital flows are only one factor influencing XRP market performance. Ripple continued progress in areas such as regulation, stablecoins, asset tokenization, and the XRP Ledger ecosystem still provides a foundation worth watching for XRP long-term development.
For long-term XRP holders, short-term price volatility is difficult to avoid entirely. While keeping an eye on XRP’s future price performance, improving the utilization efficiency of digital assets through more diversified asset management strategies is also becoming a key focus for the market. The cloud mining yield aggregation mechanism of the EX DeFi platform offers XRP holders a new way to participate in the digital asset ecosystem and generate passive income.
