Tether Issues $6 Billion in USDT Tokens in July 2025 Amid Surging Demand
Tether, the dominant player in the stablecoin market, minted $6 billion worth of USDT in July 2025, marking its fastest pace of supply expansion on record. The move reflects escalating demand for stablecoins as cryptocurrency traders and platforms seek deeper liquidity pools.
The issuance surge has revived longstanding questions about reserve transparency, even as Tether maintains its 1:1 backing claim. Market observers note the influx could amplify systemic risk if unchecked, given stablecoins' critical role in crypto trading pairs and settlements.
