Since late October, the cost of borrowing USDT and USDC from Binance has more than doubled. While these rates typically fluctuate based on market conditions and supply-demand dynamics, this increase indicates a growing demand for leveraged positions in both spot and futures markets. Meanwhile, the market capitalization of stablecoins has also reached an all-time high.Additionally, the stablecoin lending rates on Aave V3 have also risen in November. In recent months, the cumulative trading volume delta (CVD) of USDT-USD has shown a significant increase in net buying since November, indicating that traders are shifting from fiat currency to stablecoins. The dominance of USDT relative to other dollar-backed stablecoins surged from 69% at the beginning of November to a 13-month high of 86% on November 26, before retreating to 80% last week.In the past month, the trading volume of euro-backed stablecoins has surged tenfold, rising from $5 million per day in October to over $70 million at the annual peak in early November, before slightly retreating last week.
