Moody’s: Stablecoins don’t pose a near-term threat to banks, but a $300 billion market cap reveals long-term risks

Moody’s Analytics said that stablecoins will not replace traditional bank deposits on a large scale in the near term, mainly because the United States’ payment infrastructure is mature and regulatory prohibitions limit their use. But as the stablecoin market capitalization rises, it could over the long term drive outflows from bank deposits and reduce banks’ ability to create credit. In addition, regulatory controversy around the CLARITY Act further increases uncertainty in the market.

ETH drops 0.69% in 15 minutes: large on-chain transfer outflows trigger a rebound of spot sell pressure

During the period from 2026-04-19 22:00 to 2026-04-19 22:15（UTC）, the ETH price fell from 2275.98 USDT to 2252.72 USDT. The return over 15 minutes was -0.69%, and the amplitude reached 1.02%. During this round of unusual price movement, short-term market volatility increased, attention on major coins rose, trading activity improved, and volatility was clearly tilted bearish. The main driver behind this unusual move is the frequent occurrence of on-chain ETH large transfers with both high frequency and notable volume concentrated in a short period. Using a certain well-known hot wallet as a hub, more than 20,000 ETH were transferred out in a short time, and some of it has been traced on-chain and confirmed to have flowed to other exchanges’ receiving addresses. After funds briefly flowed into trading platforms, the number of sell orders in the spot market increased significantly, bringing about a phase of liquidity pressure and further intensifying the downward move in price. In addition, the futures market is linked to spot volatility; during the decline, highly leveraged long positions were liquidated passively, pushing short-term prices to release more downside pressure. At the same time, the pace of ETF capital inflows has slowed since mid-April. Within the latest range, continuous net inflows have been trending steadily, and coupled with some funds making small redemptions, this weakens the market’s institutional support. Global risk sentiment is also facing synchronized pressure—repeated swings in macro-level expectations for the Federal Reserve’s policy and heightened geopolitical tensions have driven inflows into safe-haven assets. The U.S. Dollar Index strengthened in the short term, global equity markets came under pressure, and this further reinforced ETH’s ongoing downside pressure. In addition, the 24-hour trading volumes for spot and futures were 21.75 billion USD and 42.76 billion USD, respectively; futures open interest was 30.93 billion USD. The liquidation size showed no abnormality, indicating a structural adjustment under multi-dimensional market convergence. Going forward, it is necessary to stay alert to risks such as continued large outflows on-chain and ETF capital movements shifting from inflows to outflows. If the macro environment deteriorates further, ETH may further intensify volatility. For short-term support, watch the 2250 USDT area; resistance is at 2275 USDT. The ETF trend, the direction of on-chain transfers, and macro news remain the key indicators to monitor for the next stage. Please closely follow subsequent market developments and the flow of large on-chain funds, and promptly capture relevant trading information.
