The crypto market continues to face a liquidity crunch despite the total market capitalization of stablecoins reaching an all-time high, BeInCrypto reported. According to data from DeFiLlama, the total stablecoin market cap surpassed $313 billion on March 8, an increase of approximately 1.8% since the beginning of the year. While a rising stablecoin supply typically signals an increase in capital waiting to purchase cryptocurrencies, recent data shows these new funds are not flowing into exchanges. The outlet suggests this phenomenon indicates that stablecoins are being integrated into a broader financial ecosystem beyond trading, with applications in cross-border remittances, inflation hedging, and the trading of tokenized stocks. The development of AI-powered autonomous trading systems is also accelerating their use in these areas. Experts believe the market trend will only turn positive once this liquidity returns to exchanges, the report added.

Authorities are said to have cited Bithumb's negligence in its customer verification (KYC) duties as the direct reason for the fine. Bithumb stated that it plans to fully explain its position during the subsequent proceedings, adding that it understands the partial suspension would restrict services such as withdrawing virtual assets to external wallets rather than being a full halt of operations.

Bitcoin is maintaining a stable price despite a surge in international oil prices, CoinDesk reported. The outlet analyzed that the relative strength of the U.S. stock market, supported by the country's status as a net crude oil exporter, has helped Bitcoin hold its ground. BTC's correlation with U.S. tech stocks and the Nasdaq, which has deepened since the launch of spot ETFs and under the second Trump administration, is keeping it around the $67,000 level. In a recent report, JPMorgan also explained that as the world's largest net exporter of oil, the U.S. is relatively insulated from supply shocks originating in the Middle East, which has served as a buttress for its stock market. In contrast to the sharp declines in South Korean and Japanese markets following the conflict, S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures fell only about 3%. Many experts also believe that short-term selling pressure has subsided because BTC had already entered an oversold phase, dropping to near $60,000 before the Middle East conflict. However, CoinDesk added that concerns coexist that a prolonged period of high oil prices could increase inflation and consumer costs within the U.S.
