“#Tether mints more coins to break $60 billion market cap<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

                Massive volatility on crypto markets has been always associated with an uptick on stablecoin markets, a Tether exec noted.\n                <p>Tether (USDT), the world\u2019s largest stablecoin by market capitalization, continues to grow despite record-breaking cryptocurrency outflows triggered by Elon Musk\u2019s Bitcoin (BTC) criticism.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
On Monday, Tether\u2019s market cap hit $60 billion for the first time in history, marking another milestone of the stablecoin\u2019s growth. According to data from Tether Transparency, USDT market value amounts<\/a> to $60.4 billion at the time of writing, up over 580% from one year ago.<\/p>\n
Tether’s new market cap record follows a series<\/a> of newly minted USDT tokens at Tether Treasury. According to data from blockchain analytics service Whale Alert, at least 6 billion new Tether USDT tokens have been minted at the treasury over the past 30 days, with the latest batch of 1 billion USDT minted<\/a> on May 24. According to an announcement by Tether, institutional and corporate demand is the main driver of Tether’s continued growth.<\/p>\n
USDT repeatedly broke new market cap milestones over the past two months, adding $10 billion each month.<\/p>\n

Tether broke into the top three cryptocurrencies by market cap alongside Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) and has been gaining ground as the third biggest cryptocurrency by market cap over the past few days, flipping Binance Coin (BNB) on May 23.<\/p>\n
Tether\u2019s continued growth follows massive crypto volatility as the market shed $1 trillion from its mid-May high above $2.5 trillion. Bitcoin, which became a $1 trillion asset earlier this year, lost over $400 billion in the latest market crash, with its market cap sitting<\/a> above $720 billion at the time of writing.<\/p>\n
Tether CTO Paolo Ardoino emphasized that periods of enormous crypto volatility have been often associated with stablecoin growth:<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring these extreme episodes, we\u2019ve historically seen an uptick in stablecoin activity, made evident by Tether\u2019s recent US$60 billion milestone as demand continues to grow. Events like these even support the ecosystem\u2019s strength and help everyone refocus back to building rather than the distraction of token price gains.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Founded<\/a> in 2014, Tether USDT is a major stablecoin pegged at a 1:1 exchange ratio with the United States dollar. As the world\u2019s largest stablecoin, Tether currently represents<\/a> 60% of the $100 billion combined stablecoin capitalization, according to data from CoinGecko. USDT\u2019s biggest rival, USD Coin (USDC), is ranked the eighth largest cryptocurrency by market value, with a market cap of $20 billion.<\/p>\n
