Stablecoin supply fell $14.2 billion in 30 days, its largest contraction since the 2022 bear market. A Wednesday Glassnode report put supply below $280 billion, a level last seen in September 2025, according to The Block, as the market recovery stalled. The drop nearly reached $30 billion in June 2022, five months before bitcoin's $15,500 low. CryptoQuant said USDT's market cap fell $6.6 billion in the 60 days through Nov. 7, versus $3.2 billion after FTX collapsed in December 2022. USDT and USDC represent 62.8% and 25.1% of supply; gold-backed tokens totaled $5.61 billion, below February's $6.31 billion peak. Glassnode called renewed supply growth the first sign of new money; CryptoQuant said bitcoin may bottom before USDT supply turns positive.
