The supply of stablecoins is shrinking at the fastest rate since June 2022. During that time, Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) fell below $20,000. According to Glassnode, the total stablecoin supply, which consists of crypto tokens tied to the U.S. dollar, decreased by $14.2 billion over just 30 days.

Bitcoin is also under pressure, trading at $71,312, down 6.2% over the past week and 43.4% below its all-time high of $126,080 on October 6, 2025. In June 2022, the rapid outflow of dollars from stablecoins coincided with a series of market crashes. So does the drop in stablecoin supply suggest that Bitcoin is heading for a 2022-style bottom, or is the market reading too much into a single statistic?

About $15 Billion Left Stablecoins in One Month, and the Decline Is Accelerating

DefiLlama, a platform that tracks stablecoins across various blockchains, confirms Glassnode’s findings. Today, the total stablecoin supply was $289.4 billion, down from $304.3 billion the month before—a decrease of approximately $14.9 billion, or 4.9%. The decline has also accelerated, with about $4.6 billion of that reduction coming in the last week alone.
