Traders are increasingly favoring dollar-pegged stablecoins like USDT and USDC over Bitcoin, as Bitcoin's market dominance falls from 61.2% to 60% since early May. This shift reflects a preference for safer assets amid expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates elevated, making dollar-linked investments more attractive than cryptocurrencies, which offer no yield. A large $1.29 billion trade in BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF also highlights market caution. Investors are advised to watch these trends closely as they may signal a broader move toward profit-taking and risk aversion.
