Olszewicz said that the USDT’s continuous decline below $ 1 is because USDT is being converted into fiat when traders withdraw capital from the bear market. At $ 0.996 at press time, a further drop could signal a loss of interest from market participants and lower inflows of capital into the market.

CoinMetrics’ correlation data shows that BTC and USDT (on both OMNI and ERC-20) now have a nearly 20% higher correlation from the beginning of December. This means that Bitcoin will only increase after USDT pass more than $1.

While Bitcoin did not perform as well as expected in 2019, it is safe to say that the coin has performed well. Hopefully, 2020 will bring even more luck to Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market in general. With Bitcoin’s hashrate hitting an all-time high on January 1, a positive precedent for 2020 can be set.
