Stablecoin demand rising amid market weakness, analyst says

Demand for stablecoins is on the rise despite the broader cryptocurrency market's weakness, according to an analysis by on-chain analyst Darkfost. In a contribution to CryptoQuant, Darkfost noted that since February, average weekly inflows into crypto lender Nexo have nearly doubled from around $8 million to $15 million. This trend suggests that investors are increasingly using stablecoins to manage idle funds and pursue interest-bearing opportunities, he explained.
