Stablecoin supply nears $315B, but exchange inflows show weaker risk appetite

Stablecoin supply has remained firm near $315 billion even as broader crypto markets stay soft, but exchange inflows for USDT and USDC have cooled markedly. Monthly deposits fell to about $2.9 billion, and the average dropped from roughly $4.47 billion to $3.87 billion, pointing to more selective capital deployment. At the same time, stablecoins are increasingly used in regulated products and real-world payments, rather than purely to fuel trading.
