Stablecoin dominance slides as market cap falls to near 2-year lows: CCData
The market capitalization of stablecoins has hit the lowest level since August 2021 coming on the back of 16 consecutive months of decline, a new report says.
Cryptocurrency analytics platform CCData released a report on July 20 saying the stablecoin market cap fell 0.82% from the start of the month until July 17, taking the sector's market cap to $127 billion.
Stablecoin market dominance took a slight fall and is currently at 10.3%, dropping from 10.5% in June.
Of the top ten stablecoins, Pax Dollar (USDP) was hit hardest, falling 43.1% to $563 million in July — its lowest figure since December 2020.
CCData believes the fall was largely attributed to MakerDAO — a decentralized autonomous organization behind the Maker protocol — which elected to remove $500 million of USDP from its reserves because it failed to accrue additional revenue.

XRP price can fall 40% by September — Fractal analysis
The double-digit percentage gains for XRP (XRP) this month may have reached the exhaustion point, reflecting the trends elsewhere in the cryptocurrency market.
This follows the euphoria surrounding Ripple's partial win versus the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, resulting in bullish calls for as high as $15 in the coming months.
Nonetheless, fractal analysis of XRP's recent candlestick and price momentum patterns hints that a sharp market correction is not off the table, particularly if history repeats.
Notably, certain XRP market signals preceded a 65% price decline in Q2, 2021. These are now flashing again, namely the multi-year descending trendline resistance and an "overbought" relative strength index (RSI), as illustrated below.

Wolf Of All Streets worries about a world where Bitcoin hits $1M: Hall of Flame
Scott Melker is the host of The Wolf Of All Streets Podcast and author of The Wolf Den newsletter.
“If I tweeted about a small cap [crypto] of some sort right now, the price would probably change by like 50%,” says Scott Melker, better known to his 904,800 Twitter followers as The Wolf Of All Streets.
Melker says he takes this responsibility seriously and won’t share tweets that might “impact the market” – but this makes Twitter “a lot more boring” from his end. In fact, Melker declares that Twitter “stopped being fun” when he reached 100,000 followers.
“That’s when I went through a phase of a real love-hate relationship with Twitter because that’s when I guess 10% of the people who respond to comments were trolling at any given time.”
All you can really post to 900,000 followers is “Bitcoin and inspirational quotes” because “everything else” will land you in hot water.
