Record $9.7B stablecoin inflows could drive Bitcoin to $100K
Stablecoin flows to cryptocurrency exchanges have reached a record monthly high, signaling increased investor interest in the crypto market. The surge could position Bitcoin to reach the $100,000 milestone before the end of November.
Stablecoin inflows to crypto exchanges hit a new monthly high of over $9.7 billion.
This could signal an uptick in crypto investor demand, according to Leon Waidmann, head of research at The Onchain Foundation, who stated in a Nov. 21 X post:
“Stablecoin inflows to exchanges hit $9.7B in 30 days! The LARGEST monthly inflow EVER. Stablecoin liquidity is back. Speculative demand continues to explode!”

The record monthly stablecoin inflows could put Bitcoin ( BTC ) on track to $100,000 before the end of November , historically the most bullish month for BTC returns.
Growing stablecoin inflows to crypto exchanges can signal incoming buying pressure and growing investor appetite, as stablecoins are the main on-ramp from the fiat to the crypto world used by investors.

Can record stablecoin inflows push Bitcoin beyond $100,000?
Growing stablecoin inflows can significantly impact the price of the world’s first cryptocurrency.
Back in August, Tether minted $1.3 billion worth of USDt ( USDT ) from Aug. 5, when Bitcoin price bottomed at a five-month low of above $49,500 before starting to recover. Bitcoin staged an over 21% recovery to above $60,200 from Aug. 5 to Aug. 9, as Tether’s $1.3 billion bolstered BTC price.

Some analysts expect Bitcoin to reach $100,000 before the end of the month, including Ryan Lee, chief analyst at Bitget Research, who told Cointelegraph:
“If history repeats itself and Bitcoin prices grow as projected, a 14.7% from the current price level will push the coin well above the $100,000 target for the month. The post-halving cycle trend is also very positive when projecting the future of Bitcoin.”
