Daily Report on Liquidity on Stablecoin Chains (Issue 14 · Week 30, 2026)

01Overview of Stablecoin Supply

July 21, 2026, serves as the data benchmark date. The current stablecoin market exhibits significant divergence in liquidity alongside growing compliance pressures. The prices of mainstream stablecoins remain stable: USDT is trading at $0.9992, USDC at $0.9999, DAI at $0.9998, and FDUSD at $0.9975, all of which are pegged to the value of the US dollar.

In terms of supply and liquidity distribution, the Solana ecosystem has emerged as a new driver for stablecoin growth. On July 21, Circle issued an additional $250 million in USDC on the Solana chain, pushing the total issuance volume on that chain to $71.01 billion. The overall liquidity of stablecoins on this chain exceeded $4.81 billion, with various stablecoins such as USDG and PyUSD contributing to capital inflows. In contrast, centralized exchanges remain the main hubs for capital aggregation. Binance saw a net inflow of $151 million in USDT on July 20, indicating that short-term trading funds are concentrating in leading platforms.

Compliance risks have become a key factor affecting the valuation of stablecoins. Approximately 25% of USDT reserves consist of non-compliant assets such as gold, and it faces a two-year compliance deadline under the GENIUS法案, leaving its prospects for entry into the U.S. market uncertain. Meanwhile, Circle’s stock price plummeted by 76%, reflecting a shift in the market’s focus from licensing advantages to actual capital flow dynamics, marking the entry of the stablecoin sector into a period of practical validation. Although OKX released proof of reserves showing that 22 major cryptocurrencies had 100% reserve coverage with core asset values totaling $23.12 billion, overall market sentiment remained fearful (41/100), as investors remained highly vigilant regarding the transparency of stablecoin underlying assets and their compliance with regulatory requirements.

02Flow of exchange stablecoins

On 2026-07-21, the flow of stablecoins in exchanges showed a clear trend of capital concentration. Binance recorded a net inflow of 151 million USDT in the past 24 hours, indicating that stablecoin funds are rapidly gathering on this platform. This development aligns with the behavior of large-scale holders on the blockchain—Lookonchain detected 10,000 ETH (worth approximately 18.6 million USD) being withdrawn from Binance and immediately locked up as collateral, confirming a trend of institutions accumulating assets. Although Bitcoin briefly plummeted to $63,100 on July 20, with negative CVD data suggesting selling pressure, these Whales profited by selling off their highly leveraged positions worth 122 million USD in stages, earning 63.56 million USD—a strategic risk reduction rather than panic-driven selling. Overall, institutional investors are mitigating short-term volatility risks while using collateralization and concentrated exchange activities to build long-term bullish expectations.

03Changes in on-chain liquidity

The total liquidity of stablecoins on the Solana chain has reached $4.81 billion, with various stablecoins such as USDG and PyUSD, along with Jupiter’s RWA offerings, collectively driving the expansion of this ecosystem. On July 21st, Circle issued an additional $250 million in USDC on Solana, bringing the total issuance volume of this token to $71.01 billion and continuously replenishing liquidity. Binance saw a net inflow of $151 million in USDT within the past 24 hours, indicating a concentration of funds on this platform. The current price of USDT is $0.9992, with a liquidity score of 71; FDUSD currently trades at $0.9975, boasting a high liquidity score of 95 and performing exceptionally well; USDC is priced at $0.9999, with a liquidity score of 55; DAI has a current price of $0.9998 and a liquidity score of 29, indicating relatively lower depth in the market.

04Operation suggestions

Operational Recommendations and Risk Warnings

Report Date: 2026-07-21

Operational Recommendations

1. Liquidity Perspective: Leverage Concentrated Funding Trends on Exchanges to Optimize Trading Channels Binance recorded a net inflow of $151 million in USDT over the past 24 hours, indicating a concentration of stablecoin funds toward this platform.

• Triggers: If Binance continues to see high net USDT inflows while the current price of USDT remains around $0.9992, it suggests ample liquidity and stable exchange rates on this platform.
• Execution Criteria: Prioritize routing large trading orders to exchanges with higher liquidity, such as Binance, to reduce slippage costs. If significant price differences emerge on other platforms, cross-platform arbitrage opportunities can be utilized cautiously, but network congestion must be closely monitored.
• Time Frame: This week

2. Compliance and Fundamental Aspects: Beware of Potential Volatility from Compliance Risks Related to USDT Reserves Approximately one-quarter of USDT reserves consist of non-compliant assets such as gold, facing a two-year compliance deadline, with uncertain prospects for market access in the U.S.

• Triggers: If regulators introduce new restrictions on these non-compliant reserve assets or Tether announces major adjustments to its reserve structure.
• Execution Criteria: Gradually reduce reliance on any single stablecoin, especially USDT, and increase the allocation of more transparently compliant stablecoins like USDC. Avoid large-leverage operations during periods of high regulatory sensitivity to prevent liquidity crunches triggered by compliance-related rumors.
• Time Frame: Next 2 weeks

3. Sentiment and Whale Behavior: Monitor Short-Term Volatility from Sudden Increases in Whale Activity The market sentiment index is currently at a “Fear” level (41/100), accompanied by a 46-point surge in whale activity on the blockchain, suggesting possible inflows of large amounts of capital.

• Triggers: If whale activity continues to rise alongside sharp price fluctuations in major assets like BTC (e.g., daily volatility exceeding 3%).
• Execution Criteria: Adopt a cautious approach and avoid chasing gains or cutting losses during frequent whale portfolio adjustments. Consider building positions in stages to smooth costs. Pay close attention to the specific sectors where whale funds are flowing; if large-scale withdrawals from stablecoin pools occur, promptly assess changes in market risk appetite.
• Time Frame: This month

Risk Warnings

1. Compliance Policy Risks USDT is under pressure due to compliance requirements related to the GENIUS法案. If regulatory enforcement exceeds expectations, it could lead to USDT depegging or restricted liquidity.

• Warning Triggers: Formal enforcement actions by U.S. regulators or significant negative findings in Tether’s reserve audit reports.

2. Extreme Market Sentiment Volatility Risks The current market sentiment index stands at 41/100 (Fear), with a recent sudden drop of 15.6 points.

• Warning Triggers: A decline in the Fear & Greed Index below 30, indicating extreme fear, or sustained high whale activity coupled with downward price trends.

3. Concentrated Liquidity Risk on Exchanges Excessive funding concentration on leading exchanges like Binance may trigger systemic liquidity crises if these platforms experience technical failures or regulatory actions.

• Warning Triggers: Prolonged outages, withdrawal suspensions, or announcements of major security vulnerabilities at top exchanges.
