Tether Shatters Records with 9 Billion USDT Issuance in September
Tether just flooded the crypto markets with unprecedented liquidity—issuing a staggering 9 billion USDT in a single month.
The Stablecoin Surge
September's record-breaking minting operation dwarfs previous issuance cycles, signaling massive institutional demand or speculative positioning ahead of expected volatility. This isn't just incremental growth—it's a liquidity explosion that reshapes trading pairs across every major exchange.
Market Mechanics Unleashed
That fresh 9 billion doesn't just sit idle. It fuels leverage, amplifies trading volumes, and creates artificial buying pressure that propels entire ecosystems. Traders now operate with deeper pools while decentralized protocols absorb the liquidity like digital sponges.
The Cynical Take
Because nothing says 'healthy markets' like printing 9 billion dollar-pegged tokens while traditional finance watches from the sidelines—still trying to figure out if blockchain is a spreadsheet or a new type of coffee.
Bottom line: When Tether flexes this hard, the entire crypto universe feels the gravitational pull. Whether that's sustainable growth or just prepping for the next speculative frenzy remains the billion-dollar question—literally.

In addition, the net inflow of USDT on exchanges has reached a new peak after growing since April, indicating increased investor interest in the stablecoin.
Historically, active USDT printing has often preceded large-scale Bitcoin rallies, with similar dynamics observed in early 2023 and late 2024.
CoinGlass statistics also show that October is traditionally the strongest month for bitcoin, with an average gain of 21.9%, while Q4 as a whole shows an average return of 85.4%.
The key question is when exactly investors will start deploying liquidity, as the market is in the accumulation phase. You can read more about experts’ opinions on the crypto market in a separate article:
