When new USDT is minted, it often means money is entering the market. Both small traders and large institutions use top stablecoins like USDT to buy Bitcoin (BTC), altcoins like Ethereum ( ETH ) or XRP ( XRP ), and even enter the decentralized finance sector.

Following the recent minting events, USDT’s market cap reached a new all-time high of $170.3 billion with a circulating supply of 175.7 billion tokens.

Notably, Tether unveiled its specifically US-focused stablecoin , called USAT, under Bo Hines, former White House crypto czar.

Moreover, 835.6 million USDT tokens have entered centralized crypto exchanges over the last seven days, with a 200 million USDT inflow in the past 24 hours alone, according to data from Coinglass.

This strengthens the buying spree on CEXs with high liquidity.

Everything, But One Key Indicator, Is Bullish

In addition to the direct stablecoin inflows, the crypto-based US spot exchange-traded funds have also recorded notable inflows.

Last week, spot BTC ETFs saw a weekly net inflow of $2.34 billion for the first time since the week of July 18. ETH-based investment products registered a weekly net inflow of $637.7 million in the same timeframe.

With the strong buying spree, the total crypto market capitalization reached a local high of $4.1 trillion on Sept. 13, according to CoinMarketCap data .

The Bitcoin dominance has been consistently declining over the past two months, reaching a local low of 56% at the reporting time. The movement shows that investors have been focusing more on altcoins than the leading digital currency.

This shows confidence and global momentum.

However, too much focus on highly volatile, low-cap altcoins also means there’s a higher chance of liquidations, rug pulls, or, as Coinglass puts it, could hint at a market peak.

The Coinglass bull market peak indicators — a list of 30 signals — show that the altcoin season , also known as altseason, index has surpassed the crucial 75 mark.

When the indicator hits 75 or spikes sharply, it usually signals peak euphoria. Historically, this has marked local tops in altcoin rallies before big corrections.

In simple terms, the Coinglass altseason index may be suggesting an overheated market or hinting at a potential short-term peak.

After Jensen Huang's speech, CoreWeave's stock price, which had fallen by as much as 9.5% in early trading, turned positive. The company's five-year CDS rose above 1,190 basis points during Thursday’s session, a historical high reflecting the cost of debt default protection, while yields on some of its corporate bonds have climbed above 15% to 16%. The five-year CDS spreads for Oracle, Amazon, Google’s parent company, and Meta are all at historically high levels. Deutsche Bank analysts believe that as the AI capital expenditure cycle is increasingly supported by debt rather than free cash flow, investors must place greater emphasis on signals from the credit market. Overall, while AI-related financing costs are not yet excessively high, worrying signs have begun to emerge.

Wall Street is wary of Bessent making another move to suppress yields; key clues may emerge this Friday

This Friday, major primary dealers of government bonds will receive the U.S. Treasury's routine survey before the refinancing announcement is released. Citigroup expects the survey may hint at a reduction in long-term bond issuance, or even the cancellation of 20-year U.S. Treasury bonds. Morgan Stanley emphasizes: "The next two refinancing announcements will be crucial, especially the one in November, which comes right after the midterm elections."

Risk aversion outweighs inflation concerns, US and European government bonds rise across the board, US Treasury yields plunge more than 10 basis points intraday

Investors concerned about rising inflation are shifting their focus to the potential impact of high borrowing costs on economic growth. Some commentators have linked the recent decline in U.S. Treasury yields to surging financing costs for AI-related companies, suggesting that pressure in the technology stocks and AI infrastructure sectors is driving funds toward safe-haven assets such as government bonds.
