He is unclear if this sudden surge in USDT inflows is merely the result of FUD, or if there is insider knowledge driving these actions. A bulk of the scrutiny towards USDT comes from its de-peg in the wake of the Terra crash.

CoinGape reported on May 12, 2022, that the token is down 4.8% to 0.9508- its lowest level since the 2017 crypto crash. Again on June 6, 2022, Tether (USDT) experienced a significant depegging event, trading at $0.18 per USD Coin (USDC) on ValleySwap.

One notable player in the USDT depegging scenario is CZSamSun, who reportedly shorted USDT on Aave V2 after its depegging. CZSamSun borrowed a substantial amount of USDT, specifically 31,544,278 USDT, from Aave V2 and exchanged it for 31,475,408 USDC at a rate of $0.9978. Furthermore, CZSamSun deposited 10 million USDC back onto Aave V2, suggesting a calculated strategy to exploit the depegging situation.

The recent dumping of USDT by whales and its subsequent impact on the Curve 3pool have once again raised concerns about Tether’s stability and trustworthiness. Tether is currently trading at $0.9973, experiencing a slight 0.25% decrease in value over the past 24 hours. With a market capitalization of approximately 83 billion, USDT continues to be one of the largest and most widely used stablecoins in the cryptocurrency market.

Bitcoin: Long-Term Trader RoI Drops To -34%

Image
The market’s crypto assets had quite a dull weekend, and so did Bitcoin. Over the past day, the BTC’s valuation noted a net 0% change and was priced at $16.75k at press time. Over the past 7 days, however, the $322.49 billion market-capped asset noted a 1% downward deviation. Source: CMC Leaving aside the short term, the state of affairs has similarly been monotonous over the mid-term too. It has been more than 6 months since the returns of the average active 5-year traders have been hovering in the negative territory. Data from Santiment revealed that this metric is currently hovering around a historically low level of -34%. As illustrated below, the MVRV [Market Value to Realized Value] Ratio stepped into the negative return territory on June 9, 2022, and has been hovering there ever since. At the first glance, the number might seem to be discouraging, but when viewed from the other perspective, it implies that this set of participants has no incentive to sell ...

AAVE, PEPE, and UNI Are Tokens to Keep an Eye On, Here’s Why

Image
AAVE may retest $100 if the shorter period Moving Average (MA) continues to outpace the longer term MA. PEPE may hold strongly to $0.000001 but it could soon be overbought. UNI’s potential to reach $6 remains very valid based on the AO and MACD. The trio of Aave (AAVE), Pepe (PEPE), and Uniswap (UNI) were part of the top cryptocurrencies bought on exchanges on November 9. This data was disclosed by hitesh.eth, a crypto research specialist on X (formerly Twitter). According to hitesh.eth, PEPE had a net flow of $4.74 million. AAVE has $3.2 million while UNI has $2.64 million. The CEX netflow measures the difference between exchange inflow and outflow.  A positive netflow means there is more accumulation than sell-offs while a negative value of the metric implies that tokens are being dumped than they are bought. In the case, of AAVE, PEPE, and UNI, the analyst noted that it was more of an accumulation. Top 5 Coins Investors bought on Exchanges Yes...
