Market cap is not the sum of all money put in, but the total supply multiplied by the latest price. The entire market could, conceivably, be supported by only a few billion in real dollars. I won’t try and guess the correlation between USDT price and BTC price, but if USDT goes to zero, it’ll be a lot more than a 16% hit — before even considering USDTs broader role in the market.


Especially since it’s the primary form of liquidity.
