While TRC20 USDT holdings have dropped about $8 billion over the past few weeks, ERC20 USDT reserves have surged to $32.6 billion.
USDC on ERC20 has also grown steadily, now totaling around $7.4 billion.

Popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted on X that altcoin deposits on Binance are also accelerating, with 25,000 recorded versus just 6,000 on Coinbase. The overall altcoin address activity has nearly doubled since early September.
This exchange reserve upswing coincides with seasonal trends that have historically favored crypto bulls. Fourth quarters have often delivered double-digit gains for both Bitcoin and major altcoins.
With less than two weeks left in September, many traders are positioning for a potentially strong finish to the year.
Crypto analyst 0xNobler recently pointed out on X that September has often marked the beginning of strong altcoin rallies.
