In a landmark shift for the stablecoin ecosystem, Tron has surpassed Ethereum as the leading blockchain for Tether’s USDT.

Tron Overtakes Ethereum in USDT Supply as Tether Mints $16 Billion in 2025

Tron has surpassed ethereum in hosting the largest supply of Tether’s USDT stablecoin, marking a significant shift in the stablecoin landscape. Data from Lookonchain and TronScan reveals that Tron now holds over 50% of USDT supply, with $75.7 billion issued on its network. The TRC-20 standard has overtaken Ethereum’s ERC-20 for the first time.

Tether minted $16 billion USDT on TRON in 2025 alone to meet surging demand and maintain liquidity. This aggressive issuance reflects Tron’s growing dominance in stablecoin transactions, which now drive over 60 million weekly transactions on the network. Tron ranks as the third-most active blockchain by transaction volume.

The migration of USDT supply to Tron underscores the network’s appeal for high-volume, low-cost stablecoin transfers. While Ethereum remains the leader in decentralized finance, Tron’s focus on payments and settlements appears to be gaining traction among users prioritizing speed and affordability.

Newcomers Nexpace (NXPC) and Lanchcoin (LAUNCHCOIN) also cracked the trending list, alongside stablecoin giant Tether (USDT). The data underscores how speculative fervor and fundamental analysis collide in crypto’s hyperactive social media arena.

Tether Surpasses Germany in US Treasury Holdings, Showcasing Crypto’s Institutional Clout

Tether’s $120 billion US Treasury bill portfolio now eclipses Germany’s $111.4 billion holdings, according to Q1 2025 attestation reports. The stablecoin issuer ranks as the 19th largest global holder of T-bills—a strategic reserve allocation that buffers against crypto market volatility.

The milestone underscores how digital asset firms are becoming systemically important players in traditional finance. Tether’s conservative treasury management contrasts sharply with the speculative image of cryptocurrency, demonstrating mature capital deployment strategies.
