Tether Moves 1B USDT To Tron Network

Lookonchain’s X post on April 28 revealed that Tether minted 1 billion USDT on Tron. With this massive mint in play, the stablecoin giant marks the completion of 12 billion coins minted since January 29 to date on the same network.

As of now, the leading stablecoin’s total supply on the network has reached $71.7 billion worth of tokens. Justin Sun’s blockchain has emerged as a hotspot for USDT transactions, mainly as it offers lower transaction fees and quicker transaction times as compared to its rivals.

As a result, stablecoin giant Tether continues cementing its foothold network-wide, bringing a fresh inflow of funds. Intriguingly, historical data shows that the stablecoin giant’s minting activities have primarily followed Bitcoin price rallies.

BTC price has rallied nearly 10% in the last seven days, exchanging hands at $95K. Other major altcoins like ETH, XRP, & SOL have also gained 8%-10% in the interim. In turn, the massive minting has gained significant traction across the industry.

However, it’s also worth pointing out that some market watchers speculate the USDT minting activity to be a false alarm. Nevertheless, usual broader market sentiments remain bullish amid such massive inflows on a network.

Yet, the blockchain’s native coin, TRX price saw a slight 1% dip and exchanged hands at $0.2456. The weekly chart for crypto showcased a slight 1.5% increase, remaining undermined the broader market’s recent gains.

Even the coin’s trading volume saw a 15% decline intraday and is resting at $519.69 million. The contrary price metrics have sparked mixed sentiments despite Tether’s growing stablecoin activity on the network.

TRX’s futures OI also slipped over 3% today, reaching $231.75 million. Besides, the derivatives market volume also plunged 14% to $235.5 million, igniting market concerns despite a broader bullish landscape.
