Sometimes, reframing or inverting a problem can add clarity. Instead of drawing lines on charts or obsessing over defined length moving average cross-overs, we can look at the other end of the crypto risk asset complex: stablecoins. Major, established stablecoins are the first port of call when derisking a portfolio or moderating some of its volatility. In the most recent sell-off the share of the aggregate crypto market capitalization in stablecoins reached ~9%. The last time we saw such high prints was over 2 years ago in Oct, 2023. Furthermore, if we look at the rate of change in the stablecoin market cap share we see that the last time we rose in such a pronounced and persistent fashion was in the aftermath of the FTX collapse. The aggregate stablecoin supply outstanding continues climbing, a sign that capital isn't departing the asset class in the same way as in the last bear market. A true vote of no confidence would be the redemption of stablecoins back into the Treasuries which back them.

Global Macro Indicator Update | 2025-12-02 // Global growth monitors continue to point to ongoing divergence between US and other major economies. // China risk indicators continue gradual improvement. // Inflation risks continue moderating along with fixed income volatility. Low risk that the FOMC’s gradual easing cycle is over. // Gradual growth deceleration and deteriorating labor market in US increases volatility and spread widening risks. No significant evidence however that we are near a major cyclical turning point.

@bankless, @rsa.eth Just listening to the weekly rollup, you guys have the mechanism for Ethena mixed up. To issue USDe, they are first long stETH and neutralize the price changes by shorting ETH perps. Not always, but the market bias is to be long ETH, so shorts are usually paid. That’s the source of yield.

You can get to an order of magnitude approximation of market cap by squaring daily active addresses. Try it, it also fits Metcalfe’s Law intuition. For 20k ETH, which would be >2Trln mcap you would be averaging 1.4mln daily actives. Not a daunting task.

Did you know that you can get to an order of magnitude estimate of BTC and ETH market cap by squaring daily active addresses? With L2’s rising in prominence maybe this breaks down, BUT you can do a sanity check on your price targets this way.
