According to the source, Coinbase’s David Duong reports that crypto treasury buyers largely stepped back after the Oct 10 sell-off, with BTC purchasing activity falling to near year-to-date lows (source: Coinbase Institutional, David Duong). This pattern aligns with historical episodes where realized volatility spikes and order-book depth thins, which materially increases slippage for block execution and drives institutions to pause allocations (source: Kaiko Research, liquidity during sell-offs, 2023). In post-drawdown conditions, futures basis and funding commonly compress toward zero or negative, reducing carry-trade participation that otherwise supplies passive bid support to spot markets (source: CME Group futures data and education, 2023). For trading, subdued treasury flows elevate downside tail risk and execution costs; monitor aggregated 1% market depth, CME front-month basis versus spot, and stablecoin net inflows as signals for a potential re-entry of large buyers (sources: Kaiko market depth datasets; CME Group term structure; CryptoQuant stablecoin flow metrics). Early confirmation of renewed treasury demand would include a recovery in aggregate 1% market depth toward pre-sell-off norms and a pickup in entity-adjusted exchange inflows from identified corporate wallets (source: Kaiko market depth; Glassnode entity-adjusted flow metrics).

According to @MilkRoadDaily, regulators are paying closer attention because growth in stablecoin supply is influencing how the U.S. government borrows money (source: @MilkRoadDaily, Aug 26, 2025). The post states that when stablecoin supply rises, more U.S. Treasuries are purchased via stablecoin reserve allocations, which makes U.S. borrowing cheaper by increasing demand for government debt (source: @MilkRoadDaily; report credit referenced to David Duong and Coinbase Research). The full analysis is referenced by @MilkRoadDaily, indicating a data-backed link between stablecoin supply and Treasury demand that is directly relevant for trading and macro-liquidity monitoring (source: @MilkRoadDaily).

According to @MilkRoadDaily, Coinbase Head of Research David Duong says the firm’s custom global M2 liquidity model used to anticipate crypto market uptrends has flipped bullish, signaling a favorable macro setup into Q4 2025; source: @MilkRoadDaily. According to @MilkRoadDaily, Duong added that the clock is ticking for a major breakout, with rising $ETH demand and potential altseason signals flagged for traders to monitor; source: @MilkRoadDaily.
