Tether, the issuer of the largest stablecoin USDT, added 2 billion tokens based on the TRON network to its reserves in two days. This move significantly increased the share of coins ready for potential emission or use for swaps between blockchains.
The first influx of funds was recorded on April 21, 2025, when the Whale Alert platform reported the movement of 1 billion USDT. The next day, the company repeated the operation, again adding a billion to TRON. Thus, the total volume of replenishment in two days amounted to 2 billion dollars in equivalent.
According to Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, published on the social network X, we are talking about authorized, but not yet issued tokens. They will be used as needed, including possible cross-chain swaps or additional issues.
At the time of the last update, USDT's market cap reached $145 billion. According to the analytical platform TradingView, the stablecoin maintains a confident dominance in the market - about 61.75%. This data is also confirmed by the DeFiLlama resource.
The growth of emission reserves in the TRON network is not just a technical step. It reflects Tether's strategy to prepare for the growth of demand for stablecoins and possible changes in regulation. Back in early April, it was reported that the company was considering launching a new stablecoin in the event of tightening restrictions in the United States. This approach indicates Tether's flexibility in adapting to market conditions and legal frameworks.
USDT remains a key tool in the cryptocurrency industry, especially in the field of decentralized finance (DeFi) and cross-border transfers. Maintaining high liquidity and readiness to quickly issue new tokens allow Tether to quickly respond to fluctuations in market demand and strengthen its leading position.
Thus, Tether's latest moves confirm the company's commitment to maintaining the stability and scalability of its infrastructure despite potential regulatory challenges.
