A New York Federal Reserve study found that dollar stablecoins are more likely to flow into wallets tied to countries experiencing currency or banking crises.Wallets linked to countries experiencing some form of financial crisis were 1.8% more likely to receive dollar stablecoins during the week a crisis began, researchers Pablo Azar, Maryam Farboodi and Nish Sinha found in an August staff paper.

Bitcoin’s late-August recovery has unfolded in stages. Days prior to the Aug. 19 pump, VanEck’s capitulation dashboard showed broad market stress with eight of its 12 signals active, and the first move higher was consistent with a sharp reset in bearish positioning. The case for a more durable turn strengthened later as ETF creations and wallet accumulation broadened demand.VanEck’s historical data distinguishes capitulation from timing. Comparable signal clusters trailed Bitcoin’s all-days baseline over the following 90 and 180 days, even though their one-year returns were stronger.An Aug. 26 X post from The Bitcoin Historian offered the bullish shorthand: “12 out…
