The International Monetary Fund (IMF) pointed out in its latest "Understanding Stablecoins" report that stablecoins pegged to the US dollar may cause currency substitution and capital outflow risks in vulnerable emerging markets, weakening local currency stability. However, several experts say that the current stablecoin market size is still not enough to have a significant impact on the global macroeconomy. The report highlights that stablecoins may bypass traditional financial intermediaries, thereby circumventing capital flow management measures (CFMs), making it easier for funds to move across borders during periods of market panic and accelerating currency depreciation. The combined market value of mainstream stablecoins such as USDT and USDC has reached $264 billion, which is close to France's foreign exchange reserves and surpasses that of many countries such as the United Kingdom, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates. However, these "dollar equivalents" are more used in cryptocurrency trading than in real-world money management or circumventing regulations.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) has recently seen large whale buying, with the two major wallets investing a total of more than $4.2 million, breaking the current bearish sentiment with strong capital inflows. These large holders are not only actively adding to their positions at the current price but also retaining large USDC reserves, hinting at the possibility of continued buying in the future. However, retail investors remain cautious, leaving the market divided between confidence and hesitation. Despite strong inflows, HYPE's technical structure remains weak. The price continues to move along a narrow descending channel, forming lower highs and lows. $35.48 emerged as a key resistance level that failed to break through multiple attempts. The MACD maintains a bearish stance with the line below the signal line and the momentum bar continues to be weak. The RSI is close to 34, which also indicates that sellers are dominant. However, the price is approaching a psychological support zone that has seen multiple rallies in history and could be a key area for bulls to watch in the short term.

Bitcoin retreated to near $92,500 in early Asian trading on Wednesday after breaking above $94,000, as the market continued to remain cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve's key meeting.

Ethereum is up 7% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading around $3,320; Solana and Dogecoin are both up about 5%; Cardano was the strongest performer, with an 8.5% increase on the day. Despite this, these tokens generally retreated 1%-2% in early Asian trading, hinting at profit-taking after an overnight rally. XRP is up slightly by 2% but is still down 4% this week, with BNB, USDC, and TRX largely flat. The market depth for small-cap tokens remains weak, reflecting the ongoing liquidity imbalance since December.
