Tracy Jin from MEXC predicts that $1 billion in stablecoin inflows could boost Bitcoin’s price by 8-10 percent. Bitcoin (BTC) is increasingly benefiting from stablecoin-driven liquidity growth. On Wednesday, April 30, Tracy Jin, COO of crypto exchange MEXC, shared her insights with crypto.news on the growing role of stablecoins in the Bitcoin ecosystem. “Fiat inflows converted into Tether and Circle are steadily flowing into Bitcoin, and that remains the primary driver behind its price growth this year. Right now, every additional billion in stablecoins tends to push Bitcoin up by 8 to 10 percent,” Tracy Jin of MEXC.

The total stablecoin market capitalization has grown by over $38 billion year-to-date and is expected to continue rising. This added liquidity, in turn, supports increased demand for Bitcoin. “Despite the recent volatile market landscape, stablecoin demand has remained resilient, growing over $38 billion year-to-date. Stablecoins now account for 1% of the global M2 USD money supply, processing over $33T in volume in the last year, including $2.8T in the last month alone.” Stablecoins could be worth $2 trillion by 2026 One of the key drivers of this growth is the role stablecoins play in bridging traditional financial markets and the crypto ecosystem. They are particularly vital for crypto investors, especially during periods of heightened volatility. According to Jin, this utility could help propel the stablecoin market cap to over $2 trillion by 2026.
