Recently, I've been paying close attention to on-chain data, and it's quite interesting.
Just by looking at the net inflow of stablecoins, you can get a rough idea—USDC has been especially aggressive in the past couple of days. Around January 6th, it saw a daily inflow of $300 million, and the next day it doubled to $500 million. On the 8th, it was even more exaggerated, with over $800 million poured in. Over the course of a week, the net inflow of stablecoins into a major exchange has already exceeded $670 million. The entire January reversed the outflow trend of December and started to refill the coffers.
But there's a detail worth pondering—most of the incoming money is still sitting in stablecoins and hasn't moved much, as if it's "waiting in reserve." Some are waiting for a bottom-fishing opportunity, others are contemplating how to act. There hasn't been as much real cash directly pouring into high-risk assets like Bitcoin.
Today, the actions of those big players on the chain follow the same pattern—stablecoins remain the main players.
In terms of market share, stablecoins are currently stable between 9.8% and 9.9%. This ratio remains high, with no obvious signs of decline. As long as this number doesn't start dropping rapidly, it indicates that the big influx of funds into Bitcoin hasn't arrived yet. Most people are still in a "hold and observe" mode.
In the short term, the upward price movement is somewhat constrained. The market is likely to continue oscillating within this range without significant breakthroughs. When can the situation change? Based on the data, we’ll have to wait for next week's key reports or the emergence of certain external signals. That’s the current state of affairs.

The accumulation of stablecoins is so aggressive, it feels like everyone is holding back a big move, just haven't dared to go all out yet.

They're all "standby ammunition," it seems everyone is still on the sidelines.
Wait, is this the calm before the signal?
The stablecoins are stacking up so aggressively, but it feels like no one really dares to jump in.
The data is right here, but we'll see the results next week.
No real money was poured in this round, indicating a lack of confidence.

Stablecoins are entering the market so aggressively, and you're still on the sidelines? Really, this is the strategy of the big players—stockpile ammunition first.

Big funds are still holding back big moves; this wave is just loading the magazine, the real show has not started yet.

Investing 670 million and all staying in stablecoins, it’s like waiting for us retail investors to take the bait haha.
---
Damn, it’s always like this—when big players enter, they stay on the sidelines, which only makes retail investors more anxious.
---
What does maintaining a 9.8% market share at a high level mean? It just means we still have to wait for this market to develop, don’t rush to go all-in.
---
Stablecoin inflows keep hitting new highs, but the coin price hasn’t really risen much. This feels a bit strange.
---
Key data next week will either take off or crash; right now, we can only gamble.
---
Huh? 800 million came in and they’re still on the sidelines. How long will it take to see the real move? I’ve already taken off my pants.
---
This is the tactic of big institutions—first pouring money to create a false impression, then waiting for small retail investors to enter before cutting.
---
Holding coins and watching? Isn’t that just because we haven’t hit the bottom yet? If it drops further, I’ll believe it.
---
Such a high stablecoin market share is actually a bearish sign, indicating no one dares to buy.

Coins are still on the sidelines; in the short term, we might have to wait and see.
Let's wait for next week's data; it's too early to say anything now.

The accumulation of stablecoins is so intense. To be honest, no one dares to truly step in; everyone is just waiting for the right moment.
