Binance Controls 65% of CEX Stablecoin Reserves as Crypto Outflows Slow

Stablecoin withdrawals from centralized exchanges have slowed significantly, signaling a shift from capital flight to consolidation, according to data from CryptoQuant. Over the past month, net outflows totaled approximately $2 billion, compared with $8.4 billion during the early stages of the late-2025 bear market.

The moderation suggests that while market sentiment remains cautious, investor funds are not exiting the crypto ecosystem at the same pace. Analysts note that a sustained bullish reversal would likely require renewed reserve growth or deployment of capital into higher-risk assets.

Binance Dominates CEX Stablecoin Liquidity

Binance now holds $47.5 billion in combined reserves of Tether (USDT) and Circle’s USDC, representing 65% of all USDT and USDC held across centralized exchanges. The figure marks a 31% increase from $35.9 billion a year earlier.

Binance’s reserves are heavily concentrated in USDT, which accounts for $42.3 billion, while USDC holdings stand at $5.2 billion. Other major exchanges trail behind, with OKX holding roughly 13% of total reserves, followed by Coinbase at 8% and Bybit at 6%.

Bitcoin Price Outlook Remains Cautious

Despite easing outflows, CryptoQuant maintains that Bitcoin could still test lower levels. Analysts identify the realized price support near $55,000 as a potential bear market bottom. At the time of reporting, Bitcoin traded around $68,206, reflecting continued market uncertainty even as stablecoin liquidity concentrates on Binance.
