Altcoins Find Strength After Minting
With the stablecoin base expanding, traders shifted capital into several mid- and large-cap altcoins. Key movers included:
- Ethereum (ETH), which rallied toward the $3,500 level on growing decentralized finance activity.
- BNB, buoyed by on-chain transaction growth and upcoming network upgrades.
- Chainlink (LINK), as oracle integrations gained traction in new DeFi protocols.
Market participants noted that ample USDT supply helps smooth order books and reduce slippage during high-volume trades.
Market Sentiment Shifts Positive
Analysts and social media commentators celebrated the mint as a sign of confidence in stablecoin demand.
“An injection of this size signals that traders anticipate more upside ahead,” said one observer.
The sentiment lift was echoed in derivatives markets, where open interest in futures soared to multi-month highs.

Skeptics caution that macroeconomic headwinds and regulatory scrutiny could temper a runaway rally. Still, the prevailing mood is one of cautious optimism.
