I have a couple comments to add as well:
USDC is the only stablecoin currently redeemable for USD. Its market cap has been in steady decline from 65b to 25b.
This is the only true liquidity supporting a 1 trillion dollar asset class.
25b to support 1 trillion doesnt seem like much to me.
what happens when it reaches 10? 5? 0?
Cause right now, binance is swapping tether for usdc to get into USD... theres not enough USD liquidity for everyone to exit.
SECOND: Considering it is the interest of the united states for bitcoin to fail, and the entire reason price is being held at current levels is the aspect of an ETF coming up, suppose the US govt decides to reject eftf, then dump their 200,000+ bitcoins on the market.
Confidence would be lost forever, as we fall to lows of 3 cycles ago.
not to mention saylor being liquidated for his 250k bitcoins, and every other loonie bin out there on leverage.
