  • Stablecoin outflows from exchanges slowed to $2 billion over the past month, suggesting capital is consolidating within the crypto sector rather than exiting.
  • Binance dominates the market with $47.5 billion in stablecoin reserves, 65% of the total tracked, heavily concentrated in USDT.
  • Despite the stabilising outflows, analysts warn this is not a recovery signal and suggest Bitcoin could still drop to a $55,000 “bear-market floor.”

Stablecoin outflows from centralised exchanges slowed to about US$2 billion (AU$2.8 billion) over the past month, down sharply from the US$8.4 billion (AU$11.8 billion) in outflows seen at the start of the late-2025 bear market, according to CryptoQuant data shared Tuesday. The firm said the shift points to capital consolidating within crypto rather than exiting the sector.

CryptoQuant said that consolidation is being reflected in where stablecoins are sitting. Binance holds US$47.5 billion (AU$67.2 billion) in USDT and USDC combined, representing 65% of total stablecoin reserves across centralised exchanges tracked by the firm. That balance is up 31% from US$35.9 billion (AU$50.8 billion) held a year ago, even as broader market conditions remain weak.

Binance’s stablecoin reserves are heavily weighted toward USDT. The exchange holds US$42.3 billion (AU$59.8 billion) in USDT versus US$5.2 billion (AU$7.3 billion) in USDC, with USDT reserves up 36% year-on-year while USDC holdings have been largely flat over the same period.

Other major exchanges hold materially smaller pools of stablecoins. OKX has US$9.5 billion (AU$13.5 billion) in reserves, or 13% of the total tracked by CryptoQuant. Coinbase holds US$5.9 billion (AU$8.3 billion), or 8%, while Bybit holds US$4 billion (AU$5.6 billion), or 6%.

Doesn’t Mean The Market Is Reversing

CryptoQuant marketing head Nick Pitto said in a statement that the flow shift does not amount to a recovery signal, but more like a consolidation phase, particularly on Binance, and added that a bullish turn would require reserves to grow again or for capital to be deployed into risk assets.

Despite the moderation in stablecoin outflows, CryptoQuant said Bitcoin (BTC) may still not have reached a bear-market bottom. The firm has pointed to realised price support near US$55K (AU$77.8K) as a level that has not yet been tested in the current cycle, and described it as a likely zone for an eventual bear-market floor.

Bitcoin was trading at US$68K (AU$94K) at the time of publication, down about 1.39% over the past 24 hours.

Pepeto vs Blockdag Vs Layer Brett Vs Remittix and Little Pepe

The post Pepeto vs Blockdag Vs Layer Brett Vs Remittix and Little Pepe appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 18 September 2025 | 05:39 Hunting the best crypto investment in 2025? Presales can flip a portfolio fast and sometimes change a life overnight when you choose well, which is why we start with receipts instead of slogans and cut straight to what’s live, audited, and usable today, not vague aspirations likely to drift as cycles turn and narratives fade for months. In this head-to-head we put Pepeto (PEPETO) up against Blockdag, Layer Brett, Remittix, and Little Pepe using simple yardsticks, team intent and delivery, on-chain proofs, tokenomics clarity, DEX and bridge readiness, PayFi rails, staking, and listing prep, so you can act on facts, not hype, and decide confidently before the next leg higher catches you watching from the sidelines. Pepeto’s Utility Play: Zero-Fee DEX, Bridge, And StrongPotential Pepeto treats the meme coin playbook like a platform brief, not a joke. The team ships fast, polishes details, and shows up weekly, aiming for staying power rather than a momentary pop. A hard-capped design anchors PepetoSwap, a zero-fee exchange where every trade routes through PEPETO for built-in usage instead of buzz. Already 850+ projects have applied to list, fertile ground for volume if listings follow. A built-in cross-chain bridge adds smart routing to unify liquidity, cut extra hops, and reduce slippage, turning activity into steady token demand because every swap touches PEPETO. Pepeto is audited by independent experts Solidproof and Coinsult, a trust marker reflected in more than $6,7 Million already raised in presale. Early momentum is visible. The presale puts early buyers at the front of the line with staking and stage-based price increases, and that line is getting long. Utility plus purpose, culture plus tools, the combo that tends to run farther than hype alone. Translation for you: Pepeto is graduating from noise to usage. If…

Verifying Intelligence in Singapore! – AMBCrypto

The post Verifying Intelligence in Singapore! – AMBCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. contributor Posted: September 23, 2025 House of ZK and Boundless, in partnership with Google Cloud, today announced Verifying Intelligence – a focused program on verifiable AI: proof-carrying inference, accountable data pipelines, audited agents, and privacy-preserving computation. The event, to be held on September 29th during TOKEN2049 week in Singapore, will convene prominent builders and policy leaders to define minimal verification standards for high-impact AI systems and to examine their societal externalities. Sponsors include Veridise, Ontology, 0G Labs, Laz AI, Gorka AI, and Altlayer. Verifying Intelligence addresses a simple requirement: powerful systems must be provable. If model behavior, data lineage, and policy constraints cannot be demonstrated with evidence, the system should not be deployed. The program pairs concrete technical work – proof systems, attestations, and verification tooling – with discussion on real-world failure modes: misaligned optimization, synthetic media risk, power concentration, and the erosion of user agency. “Verifiable AI should be viewed as an essential safety baseline,” said Ben Wynn, Chief Media Officer at House of ZK. “Our goal is to ultimately align builders on practical standards that any team can implement and any user can verify.”This edition follows the recent launch of The Verifier (hozk.io/the-verifier), House of ZK’s flagship editorial that examines the motive and consequence of technology.“In a time defined by exponential advances in cryptography, AI, and automated coordination, much of the conversation revolves around speed, scale, and market value. What’s missing is scrutiny of motive – the human layer underneath all this technology.The Verifier is not a source of final answers. It’s intended as a tool for asking better questions – about the systems we’re building, and why they exist.” – An excerpt from The VerifierVerifying Intelligence follows the ZK/AI Summit co-organized by House of ZK and Lagrange at TOKEN2049 Dubai (April 28th), which drew 3,000+ registrants, 500+…
