According to @AltcoinGordon, a major economic shift is underway, driven by two key trends in the stablecoin market. First, the rise of 'money streaming' powered by stablecoins on low-cost networks like Ethereum (ETH) Layer 2s, where transaction fees are now below $0.01, could revolutionize corporate finance by freeing up trillions in working capital. Second, a potential de-dollarization trend in the stablecoin space could see Euro-pegged coins (EURC) gain significant market share. This shift is attributed to perceived U.S. dollar instability and the European Union's pro-crypto MiCA regulation, which notably does not include Tether (USDT), creating a significant opening for compliant alternatives. While this presents a bullish long-term thesis for specific stablecoins, current market data shows key assets like Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) are under pressure, with ETH trading around $2,400 after a 4% drop and SOL near $145 following a 7% decline.

According to @Andre_Dragosch, the U.S. dollar's weakening position, driven by unpredictable domestic and foreign policy, is creating a significant opportunity for Euro-pegged stablecoins. The author notes that the dollar has hit a three-year low against major currencies, pushing global central bankers to consider the Euro as a choice reserve asset. This trend is expected to spill over into the crypto market, where the EU's supportive Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation gives compliant EUR-pegged stablecoins like EURC a distinct advantage over non-compliant competitors such as Tether. @Andre_Dragosch predicts that by the end of 2028, the proliferation of EUR stablecoins could seriously threaten the market dominance of their USD counterparts. This shift is happening as the underlying technology of stablecoins enables 'money streaming' on low-cost Ethereum Layer 2 networks, which could revolutionize corporate finance by freeing up trillions in working capital. Current market data, however, shows short-term bearish pressure with both Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) trading down against the US dollar.

According to @StockMKTNewz, the market capitalization of Euro-pegged stablecoins has surged 44% to nearly $480 million, driven by the EUR/USD exchange rate's 12.88% gain in the first half of the year, which nearly rivaled Bitcoin's (BTC) 14.8% rise, according to data from TradingView and Coingecko. The analysis highlights that Circle's EURC stablecoin has led this growth, with its market cap expanding 138% to over $200 million. Key catalysts cited include a weakening U.S. dollar and the European Union's crypto-friendly MiCA regulation, which provides an opportunity for compliant stablecoins like EURC as major competitors like Tether (USDT) are not compliant. For traders, the 90-day correlation between EUR/USD and Bitcoin has increased to 0.62, the highest since February 2024, indicating a strengthening relationship between the two assets.
