Gate News message, April 20 — According to independent analyst Markus Thielen, Tether’s market capitalization has surged by approximately $40 million to $187 billion, with new stablecoin circulation adding roughly $3 billion in recent weeks. This marks a significant shift from the period since October 2025, when Bitcoin remained in a correction phase and Tether’s market cap stagnated around $183 billion amid a lack of fresh capital inflows.
Thielen noted that broader stablecoin market values are rising again, signaling improved liquidity conditions. While the analyst cautioned that these positive signals remain in early stages, historical patterns suggest such marginal improvements in capital flows often precede price rallies. If this trend continues over the coming weeks, it could provide meaningful support for Bitcoin prices.
