Whitelabel Stablecoins vs Open-Loop Leaders: Nick van Eck Sees Market Consolidating to 5–10 Global Coins (AUSD, USDC, USDT) and Details Liquidity, Utility, and Q1 Issuance Plans

According to @Nick_van_Eck, global stablecoin liquidity will concentrate into roughly 5–10 open-loop payment stablecoins such as AUSD, USDC, and USDT due to network effects spanning user demand, venue acceptance, and deep markets across spot, perps, and futures, prioritizing credible neutrality, global liquidity, and broad utility for settlement and trading use cases, source: @Nick_van_Eck on X, Dec 29, 2025.

According to @ai_9684xtpa citing the Binance campaign page, the sUSDD promotion runs from Dec 11 to Jan 10, has a $100 minimum, no deposit cap, a total $300,000 prize pool distributed $10,000 daily, and has attracted $290 million in deposits so far, which means the extra subsidy portion of APY floats with participation. According to @ai_9684xtpa, USDD transitioned in January to a community-driven overcollateralized stablecoin. According to CoinMarketCap data cited by @ai_9684xtpa, USDD supply rose from $482 million to $816 million since the Dec 11 Binance Wallet campaign start, a 69% increase, with an estimated 35.5% of new tokens minted due to the Binance Earn-related activity.

Stablecoin Supply Hits $314B in 2025: Who Really Dominated—USDT vs USDC, Tron vs Ethereum, and CEX Liquidity

According to the source, global stablecoin supply reached $314 billion in 2025, but market cap alone can obscure which assets and networks control actual trading liquidity and flows. On centralized exchanges, USDT leads by trading volume and number of quote pairs—especially on offshore venues—resulting in tighter spreads and deeper order books versus USDC, according to Kaiko’s 2024 market structure reports. On-chain activity is segmented: USDT transfers are concentrated on Tron by transaction count and volume, while USDC settlement skews toward Ethereum and select Layer-2s, according to Chainalysis 2024 data and Circle’s published network statistics. For trading signals, rising stablecoin balances on exchanges and a lower Stablecoin Supply Ratio have historically coincided with greater crypto buying power, according to Glassnode metrics.

USD1 Stablecoin Jumps $150M in Market Cap After Binance Unveils Up to 20% APR Incentive: Trading Implications for Liquidity and Yield

According to the source, USD1, the USD stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial, added about $150 million in market capitalization on Wednesday after Binance announced an incentive program offering up to 20% APR on USD1 flexible products for deposits above $50,000 (source: the source). For traders, high on-exchange yields typically attract short-term capital to the incentivized asset, increasing spot liquidity and volumes in related pairs on the venue; monitor USD1 order book depth, spreads, and turnover on Binance to gauge execution quality (source: Binance incentive program and exchange microstructure disclosures). Carry-oriented participants can compare the up to 20% APR on USD1 with prevailing APYs for other stablecoins on Binance Earn to evaluate rotation and basis risk across stablecoin markets (source: Binance Earn rate pages).

SolsticeFi SLX Presale on Legion Ends Tomorrow 9 PM: 5% Supply, USD 6.5M Hard Cap, USD 130M FDV, 50% TGE Unlock and 3-Month Vesting

According to @EmberCN, SolsticeFi's SLX token presale on Legion is live and closes tomorrow at 9 PM local time, with 5% of total supply on offer and a USD 6.5 million hard cap that implies a USD 130 million fully diluted valuation (source: @EmberCN on X, Dec 24, 2025). The sale terms specify that 50% of the presale allocation unlocks at TGE and the remaining 50% vests linearly over three months, which equates to an initial unlock of about 2.5% of total supply from the presale tranche and roughly 0.83% of total supply per month thereafter from that tranche, derived from the disclosed schedule (source: @EmberCN on X, Dec 24, 2025). At the hard cap, the math implies USD 1.3 million per 1% of total supply priced in the presale and an effective 40x FDV-to-initial-presale-float multiple at TGE based on a 2.5% initial presale unlock, providing a clear view of near-term float and dilution dynamics for SLX (source: @EmberCN on X, Dec 24, 2025).

ETH Whale Accumulates 40,974 ETH on AAVE With 63M USDT Borrowing After Binance Outflow — 121M USD Leveraged Position and LTV Snapshot

According to @OnchainDataNerd, wallet 0xB85 withdrew 12,287 ETH from Binance, deposited it to AAVE, and borrowed 20M USDT to accumulate another 6,787 ETH. According to @OnchainDataNerd, the address now holds a total of 40,974 ETH valued around 121M USD and carries 63M USDT debt on AAVE, with the address link provided in the source. Based on the figures reported by @OnchainDataNerd, the implied average entry is approximately 2,953 USD per ETH (121M divided by 40,974) and the current debt-to-collateral value ratio is about 52 percent (63M divided by 121M), reflecting a leveraged long achieved by borrowing stablecoins to buy ETH, consistent with AAVE borrowing mechanics described in Aave documentation. Per Aave documentation, position risk is governed by the health factor and liquidation occurs if it falls below 1, while ongoing costs come from the variable USDT borrow rate published on Aave markets. The 12,287 ETH moved off Binance reduces exchange balances by that amount according to @OnchainDataNerd.

Binance USD1 Earn 20% APR Subsidy Explained: Premium Risk and $50,000 Cap Impact (WLFI)

According to @ai_9684xtpa, Binance’s USD1 Earn APR is currently subsidized to 20%, with uncertainty whether the subsidy comes from Binance or WLFI (source: @ai_9684xtpa). The source notes USD1 is trading at a premium now, so the offer is more suitable for users who already hold USD1 rather than buying at a markup (source: @ai_9684xtpa). The single-account cap is $50,000; any amount above only earns 0.26% APR, materially lowering blended returns for larger allocations (source: @ai_9684xtpa).

According to Aave V3 documentation, depositing ETH and borrowing USDT increases reserve utilization, which typically raises variable borrow rates and can tighten on-chain dollar liquidity for leverage-related strategies, source: Aave V3 documentation. According to Aave risk documentation, borrowing against volatile collateral like ETH carries liquidation risk if ETH price declines and the health factor drops below 1, which traders can monitor via protocol data, source: Aave risk documentation.
