Seeing a familiar scene again—Tether just minted another 1 billion USDT on-chain.

What does this mean? Don’t be quick to conclude that a bull market is coming, but don’t treat it as irrelevant either. The very existence of this money signals a few things: either big capital is preparing to enter the market, or exchanges are stockpiling in advance to handle potential volatility. Both scenarios point to the same conclusion—the market won’t be short of money in the near future.

For regular investors, there are three things you need to understand.

First, there’s a time lag between printing money and the market moving. The arrival of funds doesn’t mean prices will pump immediately; it may still be waiting for the right timing. Second, this issuance actually provides some support for the market bottom, reducing the probability of an extreme drop. Lastly, you can pay some attention to major coins and certain ecosystem sectors, as new liquidity usually flows there first.

My personal view? This feels more like a mid-term positive signal, similar to stockpiling supplies before a battle. In the short term, there may still be continued consolidation and volatility, but if you’re holding spot positions, you can feel more at ease. Don’t let news like this drive your emotions—chasing highs and panic selling will only put you at a disadvantage.

A liquid market is always better than a dried-up pool—more liquidity means more opportunities. Patiently hold your core positions, and just don’t miss out when the wind picks up.

But then again, the bullets are indeed loaded, but how many bullets do you have left yourself? Don’t end up just watching the action with nothing to do.
