ERC-20 stablecoin users sent $9.3b to Binance, Coinbase

As a seasoned researcher with years of experience observing and analyzing the cryptocurrency market, I find it fascinating to witness the significant impact of political events like the U.S. presidential election on digital asset prices. The massive inflow of stablecoins into centralized exchanges following Donald Trump’s re-election is a clear indication of market sentiment shifting towards bullish territory.


In simpler terms, after the outcome of the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, individuals who hold stablecoins on the Ethereum network moved massive amounts to centralized trading platforms.

Following Donald Trump’s election as the winner, my analysis indicates that Binance and Coinbase received one of the largest influxes of Ethereum stablecoin deposits in cryptocurrency history on November 6th. Approximately $4.3 billion was transferred to Binance, while around $3.4 billion went to Coinbase, amounting to a staggering total of $9.3 billion in ERC-20 stablecoin transactions, as reported by a CryptoQuant analyst.

Historically, significant inflows into stablecoins (a type of digital currency) tend to indicate a positive outlook or “bullish” trend for cryptocurrencies and the decentralized finance sector. In late 2020, these large deposits played a role in boosting token values as users were putting more capital into them.

Stablecoins are cash-like cryptocurrencies that maintain parity with fiat assets, like the U.S. dollar. Tether (USDT) and Circle (USDC), the largest operators in this sector, boast multi-billion tokens. Over $179 billion sat in crypto stables at press time.

As an analyst, I’ve uncovered some intriguing insights from a study conducted by researchers within the U.S. Treasury Department. It appears that a staggering 80% of all cryptocurrency transactions over the past year have been associated with fiat-pegged tokens, suggesting that the majority of digital asset investors are predominantly engaging in transactions using crypto-stablecoin pairs.

The increase in CEX ERC-20 stablecoin deposits and the market’s optimism following the election ignited a general positive outlook towards cryptocurrencies. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index stayed in the 70s as Bitcoin (BTC) reached an unprecedented peak of $76,243, reflecting high levels of confidence and anticipation.

In response to Donald Trump’s re-election, which was seen as beneficial by many in the industry, numerous altcoins among the top 100 cryptocurrencies and DeFi tokens experienced a price rally. As we move into 2025, according to QCP Capital experts, the market appears set for further growth, as suggested in an update they shared on Telegram.

The cryptocurrency market is ablaze as Bitcoin (BTC) reached an unprecedented peak of $75,000 following its previous record of $73,500 set on March 14. Since then, the price of BTC has mainly fluctuated within a narrow band below $70,000. Interestingly, Bitcoin has managed to sail through three presidential elections since its inception in 2009, with each election followed by surges to fresh highs, and prices never plummeting back to their initial levels before the election.
