Why Stablecoin Reserves Are at an All-Time High, Yet Altcoins Struggle to Recover 📉

Stablecoins have hit record reserves of $46.5 billion, signaling potential for altcoin market recovery. Yet, altcoin market capitalization continues to fall, suggesting a disconnect.

Most stablecoins are held on derivatives rather than spot exchanges, reflecting short-term trading and limited price rise potential. Altcoin market capitalization dropped by 20% in March 2025.

Despite declining altcoin values, stablecoin market cap surpasses $200 billion, with rising adoption beyond speculation. Companies like PayPal and Visa show interest in stablecoin integration, and the growth opens doors for real-world applications.
