BlockBeats News, January 1st, CoinKarma officially posted on social media that the current cryptocurrency market has returned to a phase of on-exchange trading, with on-exchange factors becoming the key to short-term volatility. In the absence of clear external incremental funds, the current crypto market is primarily driven by on-exchange capital circulation, and short-term price fluctuations are more influenced by the flow of on-exchange funds and overall liquidity changes. CoinKarma has recently observed that after a period of consolidation and fluctuation, some on-exchange fund behaviors have shown signs of a turning point. When the USDC/USDT premium index turns positive, indicating that USDC is trading at a premium relative to USDT, this mainly reflects a significant weakening of the active selling pressure from market-dominant funds on the BTC/USDT trading pair. The overall market liquidity indicator reflects a comprehensive measure of the weighted liquidity level across the entire market. Currently, the USDC/USDT premium index and the market liquidity indicator are resonating again, likely forming a bottoming rebound structure in the short term. However, the medium- to long-term pattern remains bearish, and potential trend-selling pressure should still be watched carefully.

Stablecoins rely on the reserves of the issuer rather than federal insurance. Additionally, tokenized deposits still enjoy FDIC protection as they are inherently considered bank liabilities. This policy has raised concerns within the banking industry that stablecoins might divert deposits.
