As a Bay Area quant who's watched crypto flows for years, I saw this quiet shift: $400M in USDC growth wasn't noise—it was a signal. Circle’s $619B reserve, with $86B cash and $533B in its fund, reveals where smart money is quietly reallocating. This isn't just liquidity—it's structural realignment under pressure. I write not to alarm, but to invite reflection: what are we ignoring when the consensus frays?
