Binance Holding Over $18 Billion Of USDT<\/span><\/h2>\n

At this pace, USDT constitutes the biggest share of assets held in the exchange, even exceeding other popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. <\/span><\/p>\n

As of the time of writing on March 30, Bitcoin and Ethereum shares at the exchange stood at 23% and 12%, respectively, while USDT commanded 28.71% of the total allocation. In all, Binance held over $64.6 billion of user crypto assets, making it the largest cryptocurrency exchange by assets.<\/span><\/p>\n

USDT is a popular stablecoin that tracks the value of USD. Available in several blockchains, mainly on Ethereum and Tron, USDT is the most liquid, with a market capitalization of $79.4 billion, according to trackers. <\/span><\/p>\n

The stablecoin is the most liquid and exceeds USDC, issued by Circle, whose market cap stood at $33.2 billion on March 30, and BUSD, by Paxos, whose circulating supply was at $7.6 billion when writing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Stablecoins play various roles in cryptocurrency. Since the most popular ones are backed by cash and cash equivalents, tracking the value of USD, they are used as conduits between traditional finance and the fast-growing cryptocurrency scene. <\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years, in times of a crisis, especially tanking asset prices, the cumulative market cap of stablecoins also tends to increase.

Crypto Bull Run Or Flocking To Safety?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The inflow of stablecoins into exchanges also indicates optimism among retail and institutional traders. With an increasing share of USDT in Binance, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, it might suggest that traders are positioning themselves for a bull run. <\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier today, on March 30, Bitcoin prices rose above $29,000 for the first time in Q1 2023. Although prices have recoiled, traders appear upbeat as bulls build on gains of March 29.
