Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana resist freezes amid stablecoin depeg concerns

Crypto Briefing reports that native layer-1 assets—Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana—remain unfrozen and therefore carry a structural advantage versus issuer-controlled stablecoins amid geopolitical freeze risk. Prediction markets price a USDC depeg by Dec. 31 at roughly 3%, while a separate market shows Bitcoin well bid for April 24 (99.9% odds). Markets show little trading volume or movement, implying traders are waiting for clearer developments. The piece flags that issuer-level freezing (USDC, USDT) creates a potential depeg pathway during state-sponsored cyber operations and notes that statements from Circle (Jeremy Allaire) and Tether (Paolo Ardoino) or reserve/regulatory announcements could shift odds.
