Over the past week, the largest stablecoin issuers by market cap, Tether and Circle, have issued nearly $2.8 billion in assets, which Thielen estimates indicates that “some institutional investors are injecting fresh capital into the crypto market.”

According to Thielen, favorable data on consumer inflation in the US alone will not be enough for digital gold to overcome the resistance zone of $60,000-61,000.

Sustained gains will likely require “real money purchases via stablecoins,” a factor that has been critical to the sustainability of price breakouts since the start of the year, while others have had less of an impact, Thielen said.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, commenting on the company’s August 13 release of 1 billion USDT on Ethereum, confirmed the analyst’s opinion that this does not mean that the coins will immediately hit the market. The head of the issuer said that the amount is authorized as reserves for future demand and crosschain-swaps.
