As of January 13, 2025, the stablecoin market cap has reached $189.1 billion, showing a modest 30-day net increase of +0.56%.
The slower liquidity inflows signal a stabilization in market momentum and reduced speculative demand, reflecting a more mature phase for stablecoin activity.
Comparing Recent Rallies and Stablecoin Demand
Between November 4 and December 17, 2024, the stablecoin supply surged from $161.47 billion to $188.82 billion, marking a significant $27.35 billion increase (+16.9%). During this period, Bitcoin soared from $67.8K to a new all-time high (ATH) of $106.1K, delivering an impressive +56.5% gain and a 30-day net change of +10.67%.
This contrasts sharply with the January to March 2024 rally, where Bitcoin rose from $39.8K to $69.5K (+74.5%), fueled by a stablecoin supply increase of $14.68 billion (+11.5%). The November-December rally required nearly twice the stablecoin inflows, underscoring the increasing capital needed to drive significant price movements at Bitcoin’s higher price levels.
Stabilization in Momentum
The reduced pace of stablecoin supply growth in early 2025 suggests the market is reaching a point of stabilization. This shift could indicate a decline in speculative trading activity or a broader consolidation in the crypto market after significant gains in 2024.

Conclusion
The stablecoin market’s modest growth and slower liquidity inflows highlight the evolving dynamics of the cryptocurrency ecosystem. With Bitcoin and stablecoins playing crucial roles in market rallies, the increasing capital requirements at higher price levels suggest a maturing market poised for more measured growth.
