- Traders and investors use USDT volume trends for market predictions.
Data analyst Joao Wedson has identified a correlation between the USDT transaction volume on the TRON network and Bitcoin prices. In a post on Cryptoquant, Wedson explained how USDT correlates more strongly with BTC than with TRX, the TRON network’s native cryptocurrency.
Wedson observed that Binance controls over 60% of all USDT transfers on the TRON network. According to his analysis, the transaction trends suggest the bulk of these transfers involve converting USDT to Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
Wedson attributed the dominance of USDT-BTC transactions on Binance to Bitcoin’s position as a stable store of value, its market leadership, and the arbitrage and liquidity opportunities offered by Binance. He suggested that Bitcoin is a preferred choice for most investors during periods of uncertainty, and that investors also use the flagship crypto to position themselves ahead of significant market movements.
Wedson also highlighted the importance of stablecoins to crypto exchanges, noting that daily USDT volumes on TRON frequently exceed an average of $2 billion. He explained that stablecoins are a class of cryptocurrency that provides a value anchor in a volatile market, facilitating the transfer of large amounts quickly and with low fees, while serving as an indicator of market sentiment.
As an indicator, Wedson noted that significant USDT inflow to exchanges could signal users’ intention to buy cryptocurrency, while significant outflows could suggest crypto sales or funds withdrawals for secure storage. Therefore, monitoring stablecoins’ behavior on exchanges can provide vital information for understanding capital flows and market sentiment.
Wedson concluded by noting that analyzing USDT transfers on the TRON blockchain reveals the influence of Binance and the correlation of these volumes with BTC prices. He suggested that traders and investors can benefit from this information by observing and understanding the USDT trading volume patterns on crypto exchanges.
