\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor the first time in over a month, Tether mints $1 billion USDT on the Tron network. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Tether, the world\u2019s largest stablecoin issuer, just minted $1 billion worth of USDT on the Tron network. This is the first time the company has issued such a large amount in over a month, and it pushes the total circulating supply to about $183 billion, which is over $100 billion more than its closest competitor, USDC.<\/p>\n
According to its official transparency page<\/a>, over $96 billion of the total supply sits on Ethereum, while Tron is a close second with $86 billion.<\/p>\n Tether minted another 1B $USDT<\/a> on #Tron<\/a> 6 hours ago.<\/p>\n The circulating supply of $USDT<\/a> on #Tron<\/a> has reached 85.3B, far more than on #Ethereum<\/a>.https:\/\/t.co\/2wFo2DEvz3<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/YPmRZ7nFHM<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Lookonchain (@lookonchain) March 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n While moves of this kind don\u2019t usually cause significant volatility in the markets immediately, the firm may be anticipating increased demand for USDT amid ongoing military tensions worldwide.<\/p>\n The war in Iran<\/a> has sent massive ripples across the global economy. Just last week, the price of crude oil exploded<\/a> by more than 30% daily, reaching a high above $120, before plummeting<\/a> during the same day (and the ones to follow) on subsequent announcements. This had an immediate impact on Bitcoin\u2019s price, which followed suit and also went through extreme volatility.<\/p>\n It\u2019s inevitable that global geopolitical turmoil impacts crypto markets, and while the current move to mint $1 billion USDT might not lead to an immediate change in pricing, increased liquidity across the board can help the market absorb potential shocks.<\/p>\n LIMITED OFFER for CryptoPotato readers at Bybit: Use this link<\/a> to register and open a $500 FREE position on any coin!<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p><\/div>\n\n
