An extended price decline in <a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/coins\/ethereum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ETH<\/a> could make USDT\u2019s another stab at the second-largest asset position. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But it does not mean market sentiment is no longer bullish on ETH, as this was tied to a broader market move. It&#8217;s <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">worth pointing out that during such volatile scenarios, investors exit crypto positions and convert funds into stablecoins. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As such, these risk-off moves during volatility will directly increase stablecoin supply.
