USDT

Something BIG is brewing in the crypto world.

Tether Treasury has just fired up the printer again, minting another $1B USDT, bringing the total recent injection to a jaw-dropping $2 BILLION!

What does this mean?

Liquidity flood incoming?
Institutional money gearing up?
Bull market fuel loading?

Paolo Ardoino says it’s “inventory,” but let’s be real — this kind of massive minting doesn’t happen unless serious demand or strategic moves are on the horizon.

Why you should care:

USDT is the backbone of the crypto markets — when its supply spikes, Bitcoin and altcoins usually follow.

This could mean:

Big BTC buy pressure incoming
Alts catching fire next
Whales positioning before a market catalyst
A potential new leg up in the bull run

But not everyone’s celebrating…

Critics are sounding alarms over transparency and timing — is this minting really just “operational”… or a signal of what’s coming next?

Current Prices:

$BTC – $107,452 (+2.59%)
$ETH – $2,547 (+2.9%)
$BNB – $655 (+2.05%)

Bottom Line:

Tether just minted $2B USDT in lightning speed. Love it or hate it, the market is about to move.

Strap in. The next chapter of this bull run might just be starting.

Ripple Buying Circle Could Be a Disaster for Crypto – Warns MetaLeX’s Shapiro
Another day, another major shake-up in crypto.
This time, it’s Ripple and Coinbase battling it out in a multi-billion dollar race to acquire Circle – the company behind USDC. The deal could be worth as much as $11 billion. If it happens, it could seriously change the stablecoin game.

If Ripple ends up buying Circle, they won’t just be getting USDC – they’ll be taking a massive leap in power across the entire crypto space. And honestly, not everyone is okay with that.
Gabriel Shapiro, founder of MetaLeX Labs, called the potential deal straight-up “disastrous” for crypto. He warned that making Ripple the largest asset issuer on every blockchain would raise major antitrust concerns and could trigger action from regulators like the DOJ and FTC. He even brought up Ripple’s history of targeting competitors like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Remember when Chris Larsen (Ripple co-founder) teamed up with Greenpeace in 2022 to go after Bitcoin mining? Shapiro says stuff like that is exactly why this deal shouldn’t be taken lightly. He also pointed out that Circle’s board has a legal duty to consider the risks, especially under the Revlon doctrine.
Apparently, Ripple first offered $4–5 billion earlier this year but got turned down. Now they’re back with a bigger offer – possibly using both cash and XRP. But Ripple can’t just sell off XRP without court approval, so there are still legal hurdles.
Coinbase, on the other hand, is sitting on strong financials but hasn’t made a bold move yet. Some insiders say if Coinbase really wanted to buy Circle, the deal would already be done.
And don’t count out other players – like Japan’s SBI Holdings, a known Ripple ally. This bidding war might not be over yet.
If Ripple pulls this off, it could flip the stablecoin market overnight. But if Shapiro’s right, it could also lead to one of the most controversial deals crypto has ever seen.
What do you think – is this a power move or a red flag for crypto’s future?

💵 What does it mean that "USDT is minted at the Tether Treasury"?
USDT (Tether) is a stablecoin, a type of cryptocurrency designed to always be worth $1 USD.
When USDT is "minted", it means new tokens are created by Tether, the company behind USDT.
"At the Tether Treasury" means the tokens are created but not yet in circulation — they’re held by Tether until they are sent to exchanges or users.

> Think of it like a central bank printing money but holding it in a vault before releasing it to the public.

🏛️ Who regulates it?
No official government or central bank regulates Tether like the Federal Reserve regulates the U.S. dollar.
Tether is privately operated and registered in the British Virgin Islands.
It has been investigated by U.S. authorities (e.g., CFTC, NYAG), and now publishes attestations (not full audits) showing what backs the USDT.
> So, it’s not strongly regulated, and that's a concern for some investors.

🔁 What happens when USDT is minted?
1. A large buyer (like an exchange) sends USD (or equivalent) to Tether.
2. Tether mints an equivalent amount of USDT.
3. That USDT can now be used in crypto markets (trading, DeFi, etc).

📊 How does it affect the crypto market?

When a large amount of USDT is minted, it often signals increased buying power entering the market.
Traders may take this as a bullish sign — more USDT usually means more liquidity, possibly pushing Bitcoin and altcoins higher.

🧑‍💼 Who owns Tether?
Tether is operated by iFinex Inc., the same company that owns the crypto exchange Bitfinex.
It’s run by a private team, not a public or decentralized group.

🔐 Is USDT a cryptocurrency?
Yes, but it’s a centralized stablecoin. It runs on blockchains (Ethereum, Tron, Solana, etc.).
But unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, it’s controlled by one company — Tether can freeze or blacklist addresses.
