The crypto market has never seen so much abundance from Tether (USDT) as now. As a result, Tether’s dominance rate (USDT.D) has become one of the most observed indicators among crypto investors.

The USDT.D index measures the dominance of Stablecoin in relation to the total capitalization of the crypto market. A drop in this indicator is often seen as a sign that investors are changing their behavior, choosing to spend USDT to buy altcoins and bitcoin.

Relationship between BTC and USDT.D signals optimism

According to the CoinmarketcapTether’s market capitalization reached a record in April 2025, reaching US $ 145.6 billion – an increase of more than $ 8.5 billion since the beginning of the year.

USDT.D has recently shown signs of fall, which has generated speculation about possible market recovery.

Maxbecausebtc, the founder of BECAUSEBITCOIN, highlighted An impressive symmetry between Bitcoin’s price chart and USDT’s dominance index. In an X post, Max noted that every time USDT.D falls, BTC tends to rise-and vice versa. At the same time, both broke their respective support and resistance levels.

Based on historical patterns, he predicted that Bitcoin could see another price high next month, while USDT dominance can continue its fall from the resistance level around 5.5%.

I think this really should be the break for USDT.D and, subsequently, the impulse to the BTC, stated.

Combined dominance of stablecoin also sends high signals

The combined USDT.D and USDC.D (USDC) index, representing the dominance rates of the two largest stablecoins, shows initial positive signals.

The Investor Cryptosahintas revealed that the combined index reached a critical level of resistance of 8% this month. This is a positive sign for altcoins. When the dominance of stablecoins reacts to resistance, it often signals that capital may be preparing to flow to other currencies, potentially triggering a strong high price.

In addition, Cryptosahintas predicted that this combined index could fall to 3.5%, possibly extending until next year.

These opinions are even more supported by the current feeling of the market. Investors have noticed that altcoins prices have fallen significantly and are actively buying again. This week, the fear and greed rate changed fear for greed, confirming this change of feeling.

At the same time, total market capitalization recovered 6%from US $ 2.68 trillion to US $ 2.84 trillion.

Not all predictions about the dominance of stablecoins are positive. According to a recent 10x Research report, although the issuance indicator of this product has increased, it has not yet returned to its previous levels.
