As stablecoins surgiram como uma opção de investimento popular no mercado de criptomoedas, oferecendo estabilidade em uma indústria volátil. Ao contrário de outras criptomoedas, que experimentam oscilações de preço significativas, as stablecoins mantêm seu valor sendo atreladas a ativos de reserva como o dólar americano, euro ou commodities como ouro. Isso as torna uma excelente escolha para investidores avessos a riscos que buscam ganhar renda passiva.

O que são Stablecoins e Por que Elas São Mais Seguras?
As stablecoins atuam como uma ponte entre as finanças tradicionais e o ecossistema cripto, proporcionando um armazenamento estável de valor que minimiza o risco de mudanças drásticas de preço. Ao contrário do Bitcoin ou Ethereum, cujos preços podem flutuar muito, as stablecoins como USDT, USDC e EURI são projetadas para manter um valor estável, tipicamente em torno de $1. Essa estabilidade de preço é alcançada ao lastrear os tokens com reservas ou usar algoritmos para ajustar a oferta.

O mercado de criptomoedas está agitado com especulações à medida que a segunda inauguração presidencial de Donald Trump se aproxima em 20 de janeiro de 2025. O Bitcoin (BTC), a criptomoeda líder, está sob intenso escrutínio, com especialistas divididos sobre se seu preço vai disparar ou tropeçar em torno do evento. Aqui está um olhar mais atento para os cenários potenciais que estão impulsionando o sentimento do mercado.

O Caso Altista: O Otimismo Impulsiona Previsões de um Rali
Dados de Inflação e Suporte Institucional
De acordo com Markus Thielen da 10x Research, o otimismo em torno da inauguração de Trump e os dados positivos do Índice de Preços ao Consumidor (CPI), que serão divulgados em 15 de janeiro, podem proporcionar o pano de fundo perfeito para um rali do Bitcoin. Números de inflação fortes podem restaurar a confiança dos investidores, com o retorno dos investidores institucionais e o aumento da cunhagem de stablecoins oferecendo suporte adicional.
