In 28 April 2025 TRON blockchain has witnessed a striking surge in USDT minting activity, $1 billion transaction sent to Tether Treasury.
The Role of Tether Treasury in Capital Deployment
The newly minted USDT is typically sent first to Tether’s Treasury wallet, which acts as a staging point before the tokens are distributed to client wallets.
Contrary to common misconceptions, this minting is not speculative printing. These USDT tokens are created in response to verified fiat deposits — real U.S. dollars — usually from large investment funds, trading firms, or OTC desks.
This means that behind each mint event is a real institutional buyer looking to increase their exposure to digital assets.
These funds are not minted in isolation — they’re backed by dollar inflows from entities preparing to execute significant purchases in the crypto market.
April 22 Mint Followed by Bitcoin Rally
A particularly noteworthy event occurred on April 22, 2025, when a $1 billion USDT mint took place on TRON.
Just hours after the mint, Bitcoin surged by over 8%, rising from around $88,000 to over $95,000.
This correlation further strengthens the argument that USDT minting — especially on TRON — is often followed by aggressive buy-side activity.
