#数字货币市场洞察 $BNB $ETH



That seemingly inconspicuous policy adjustment by the Federal Reserve might be shifting trillions of dollars in capital flows.

At the end of November, a federal notice quietly came into effect: the eSLR (enhanced Supplementary Leverage Ratio) restriction was permanently relaxed. In layman’s terms—banks’ capital requirements for holding U.S. Treasuries have dropped from stringent standards to levels that are almost negligible. What does this mean? Traditional financial institutions suddenly have $210 billion in “idle capacity,” and this capital is looking for new outlets.

Stablecoin issuers have already sensed the opportunity. Previously, issuing stablecoins required real cash collateral, resulting in high costs and low efficiency; now, banks can hold Treasuries as reserve assets at ultra-low cost, slashing the cost of minting stablecoins in half. Internal data from a leading exchange shows: the stablecoin market size has ballooned from $306 billion to nearly $400 billion over the past year, and the industry widely expects this number to surpass $4 trillion in the next four years—not linear growth, but exponential explosion.

Even more critical is the timing. The halving cycle, capital control relaxation, and regulatory shifts—three historic variables—are rarely converging at the same time. As restrictive regulations like SAB121 are gradually repealed, and as traditional financial institutions can openly convert Treasury assets into crypto market liquidity, the rules of the game are completely changing. Citi’s target price is $200,000 for Bitcoin, $20,000 for Ethereum, and SOL breaking into four digits—these numbers may seem exaggerated, but in the context of $4 trillion in potential liquidity, they’re not impossible.

Institutions have already been quietly making moves. Goldman Sachs has listed stablecoin-related business as a key profit source for next year, BlackRock’s on-chain fund products have already attracted billions of dollars, and a hedge fund manager privately revealed their strategy: “Fully allocate to short-term Treasuries until yield signals trigger, then instantly rotate into crypto assets.”

Of course, there are also risks behind the euphoria. If $4 trillion in liquidity really floods in, every DeFi protocol will turn into a high-leverage casino, and volatility could break historical records. This isn’t a gentle bull market—it’s more like a liquidity tsunami—capable of lifting some to the crest, while instantly swallowing others.

The tap has already been turned on; now it’s a matter of who can catch this high-stakes gamble.

Damn, this move is really fierce. With 4 trillion in liquidity coming in, it's really hard to hold on.

Wait, the Fed's move this time is really intense... $210 billion just flowed out like that?

There are indeed unusual movements in the on-chain data, but I need to verify this eSLR logic chain again... I checked the original text of the Federal Register late at night, and the numbers don't match up.

Damn, this round of eSLR is really insane. The banks directly released 210 billion, and stablecoins are about to take off.

I'm numb. The institutions have already positioned themselves long ago, and we're still here just watching the show.
