On December 30th, the US dollar index weakened again, with both onshore and offshore RMB breaking through 7. The market generally expects the US dollar to enter a relatively weak cycle by 2026, which directly diminishes the attractiveness of dollar assets and also opens up external space for RMB appreciation. For crypto investors, this should be a positive sign—but the reality is a bit painful. The prices of cryptocurrencies have remained stagnant, while stablecoin prices have been steadily declining. Currently, the USDT quote at a major exchange has fallen to 6.82. It seems that macroeconomic conditions are changing, but retail investors' holdings are still shrinking. The dollar is weakening, the RMB is strengthening, so why isn't this reflected in crypto prices? This is probably a question the entire market is pondering.

USDT dropped to 6.82. Why didn't this round of macro positive news trigger a rally? I'm thinking we still have to wait for the big players to react.

I think this is the magical part of the crypto world—macro positive factors but the coin price just doesn't cooperate, it's really like being trapped.

All the macro positive factors are here, but the coin price still remains flat, which is unbelievable. I really didn't expect USDT to drop to 6.82; retail investors are truly done.

A bunch of good macro news, but the coin price is like nothing's happening. Why is this gap so big?

USDT has dropped to 6.82? Now that's the truth. No matter how favorable the macro environment is, it's all in vain; retail investors' chips are still evaporating.
