Tether Mints $3B USDT Amid Rising Demand and Market Scrutiny
Tether has minted 3 billion USDT in just days—2B on Ethereum and 1B on TRON—as demand for liquidity surges. Spot On Chain reports the new issuance follows a sharp uptick in 2025 minting, primarily on TRON, where total USDT supply now stands at a massive $71.71B.
This expansion comes despite concerns from Bitrace’s 2024 crypto crime report, which highlights Ethereum and TRON as hotspots for illicit stablecoin flows. High-risk addresses involving ERC20 and TRC20 USDT/USDC reportedly received $649B in 2024 alone.
Ethereum Consolidates Near Key Resistance
ETH is holding above $1,800, with bulls battling the 50-day EMA at $1,860. A breakout could confirm a trend reversal, while a rejection may pull ETH back to $1,500 or even $1,400 if volatility spikes.
TRON's RSI Dips Below 50, raising short-term bearish risks despite long-term on-chain strength.
Tether’s continued minting signals strong market appetite—but regulators and traders alike will be watching Ethereum and TRON closely as concerns over illegal activity rise.
