The return of stablecoins after the recent market crash has drawn attention from investors. Tether (USDT) and Circle (USDC) have simultaneously issued 4.5 billion USD in new tokens, reflecting strong demand from the market.
On the Ethereum network (ETH), this momentum extends beyond stablecoins to encompass tokenized assets, with BlackRock's BUIDL fund and USDC both demonstrating steady growth.
The question is whether this new flow of funds will be maintained in stablecoins or will shift towards Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins in the near future.
Immediately after the market crash, Tether and Circle actively issued billions of USD.

Since the increase of stablecoins, Ethereum is emerging as a platform for both cash assets and tokenized assets. The supply of USDC has rebounded to around 45 billion USD, while BlackRock's BUIDL fund ( represents exposure to tokenized US Treasury bonds ) has surpassed 2 billion USD.
Source: XThe development of stablecoins and tokenized assets seems to be occurring in parallel. This is an important step in the issuance and tracking of financial instruments on public blockchains, instead of focusing solely on a single platform.
Although the dominance of USDT is still on a long-term downward trend, there have been short-term efforts to break through the declining resistance level.
The recent increase in the issuance of USDT indicates that new capital is entering the market, but it does not necessarily have to remain in stablecoins. As dominance weakens, capital tends to shift towards riskier assets.
Source: XIf this trend continues, Bitcoin and altcoins may soon absorb new capital.
This will pave the way for a potential recovery across the entire cryptocurrency market, which is very much needed after the significant fluctuations in recent days.
