According to on-chain analyst Ember's monitoring, amidst the ongoing correction in the crypto market, the total market capitalization of USD stablecoins has decreased by approximately $10 billion from its recent peak, currently maintaining a total scale of around $300 billion. Meanwhile, some funds are believed to have flowed into the US stock market, which has exhibited stronger wealth effects this year.The latest quarterly data reveals varying degrees of capital outflow among leading stablecoins:Tether (USDT): Total supply decreased from approximately $189.8 billion to $184.1 billion, a net outflow of about $5.7 billion.USD Coin (USDC): Total supply decreased from approximately $79.6 billion to $73 billion, a net outflow of about $6.6 billion, making it the stablecoin with the largest outflow in this round.Tokens associated with USDC issuer Circle are also under pressure, with its stock price declining from around $136 to near $64, indicating a cooling of market expectations for its growth.In contrast, the stablecoin USD1 recorded a net inflow of approximately $500 million during the same period, with its total supply growing from about $4.1 billion to $4.6 billion, becoming one of the few assets to increase against the trend. However, this growth is partly attributed to interest subsidy incentive mechanisms on trading platforms, such as activities on certain exchanges that guide user holdings and trading behavior.

after Open Standard announced the launch of its new stablecoin, Open USD (OUSD), Circle's stock price fell over 16% on Tuesday. The stablecoin is backed by over 140 companies, including Visa, Stripe, Mastercard, BlackRock, and Coinbase, raising market concerns that it could pose competitive pressure on Circle's USDC.However, William Blair analysts believe the sell-off was an overreaction and reiterated an "Outperform" rating on Circle's stock, suggesting the decline may present a buying opportunity. The firm believes that Circle holds a competitive advantage in the stablecoin space due to its first-mover status, deep liquidity, and mature payment infrastructure, positioning it well even against high-profile competitors like OUSD.Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire stated that the company welcomes competition and will continue to expand the USDC ecosystem. Analysts also noted that the overall stablecoin market is still rapidly expanding, and new entrants may not necessarily only eat into USDC's market share but could also drive broader industry adoption.
blockchain analytics platform Bubblemaps released an investigation report on the Solana Meme token LIBRA. On February 14, 2025, after Argentine President Javier Milei publicly supported the launch of LIBRA, the token's market cap briefly reached approximately $4 billion in less than two days before rapidly crashing, resulting in investor losses exceeding $250 million. The incident has been dubbed "Cryptogate."Bubblemaps stated that multiple abnormal signals emerged within the first hour of LIBRA's launch:82% of the token supply was concentrated in a single wallet cluster, a stark deviation from typical Meme token issuance patterns;No tokenomics information was provided, with no details on lock-ups, fund allocation, or roadmap disclosed;Abnormally high liquidity pool fees were generated, with over $25 million in fees accumulating within the first hour of trading, far exceeding normal retail trading levels.The investigation revealed that the deployer did not directly dump $LIBRA on the open market. Instead, they added a one-sided liquidity pool containing only $LIBRA on Meteora while simultaneously withdrawing USDC and SOL from the original pool, enabling low-slippage fund transfers. Bubblemaps noted that, by the time the public warning was issued, the team had already extracted approximately $87 million in assets through this mechanism. Subsequently, Bubblemaps discovered a financial link between LIBRA and another controversial token, $MELANIA. Through on-chain evidence such as cross-chain transfers and overlapping exchange deposit addresses, analytic firms suggest both projects may be operated by the same team, which has been traced back to Kelsier Ventures and its head, Hayden Davis.The report indicates that this team has subsequently been linked to multiple Meme token projects, including $HOOD, $TRUST, $KACY, and $VIBES. Their common pattern includes: holding a large concentration of tokens during the deployment phase, using multiple wallets to front-run purchases, rapidly inflating market cap, and then exiting to cash out.Bubblemaps stated that the uniqueness of the LIBRA incident lies not in its technical methods, but in securing the public endorsement of Javier Milei, which amplified a routine Meme token operation into a globally watched event. The firm believes that indicators such as wallet cluster analysis, supply concentration, and on-chain fund flows had already flashed risk signals early on, and it will continue to monitor related address activity in the future.
