It’s well known that the leading cryptocurrency is the coin that drives the market. Every coin in the market follows this ‘rule’ as wherever bitcoin goes, that’s where they go. But there might be an exception to such a rule as the leading stablecoin, Tether could be bringing the flagship currency out of its bear grip.

The head of the digital investment company Capriole, Charles Edwards highlighted a particular correlation that was under development between both Bitcoin and Tether that showed things had taken a turn. A turn in the sense that bitcoin was following the movement of Tether over the course of 2019.

Edwards noted that the flagship currency has been actually been following the stablecoins lead since July of 2018. 

Major changes in Tether's Market Cap have led Bitcoin's price over the last 1.5 years.
