Tether mints 3 billion USDT on Ethereum and TRON as markets settle
Tether issues 2 billion USDT on Ethereum days after releasing 1 billion on TRON.
Bitrace's crypto crime study found more stablecoin crimes on Ethereum and TRON.
Bulls attack the 50-day EMA resistance around $1,860 to keep Ethereum above $1,800.
TRON price risks rise when the RSI indicator falls below 50.
Tether mints more stablecoins as demand rises, suggesting increased trading and liquidity demands. The largest stablecoin by market value has mined 2 billion USDT on Ethereum and 1 billion USDT on TRON, according to recent sources.
Tether mints USDT as Ethereum and TRON illegal trading soars.
Spot On Chain reports that Tether has released 2 billion USDT on Ethereum and 1 billion USDT on TRON in the last three days. USDT minting increased in 2025, mainly on TRON.
On Monday, Spot On Chain reported that TRON had the greatest chain-wide USDT supply at $71.71 billion.
Tether's updated USDT minting follows complaints of illegal trading on Ethereum and TRON. Bitrace's 2024 crypto crime report found that high-risk Ethereum and TRON addresses earned $278.1 billion, slightly more than 2023 but much higher than 2022 and 2021.
In the crypto crime report, Bitrace stated that “ERC20_USDT, ERC20_USDC, TRC20_USDT, TRC20_USDC) are high-risk addresses” because most illicit activities occur on Ethereum and TRON networks. “In 2024, these addresses collectively received approximately USD 649 billion, slightly higher than the previous year.”
Ethereum price consolidates: Breakout?
Ethereum's price is $1,800 as of Wednesday, showing crypto market consolidation. Major smart contracts tokens meet resistance at $1,860, the 50-day Exponential Moving Average. A break above this level confirms bullish potential and the trend reversal from the falling channel on the daily chart below.
We should ready for all eventualities, including ETH dropping to retest the channel's mid-level around $1,500 and, if volatility escalates, the lower limit around $1,400.
