Tether CEO Confirms New Mint, Saying It\u2019s ‘Authorized But Not Issued’<\/h2>\n

Paolo Ardoino, Tether\u2019s CEO, has confirmed this latest mint order<\/a>, saying that the transaction was \u201cauthorized but not issued.\u201d In blockchain parlance, the newly minted USDT tokens on the Tron network are not yet circulating but are still part of the company\u2019s inventory. In short, these are just in storage, ready for the next batch of chain swaps and issuance requests.<\/p>\n

The company officially disclosed the minting order on its transparency page<\/a>. The newly minted tokens totaling $1.05 billion are listed under the \u201cauthorized but not issued\u201d column of USDT.<\/p>\n

USDT: Issuance At Tron Reaches $20 Billion<\/h2>\n

Tether is experiencing a surge in demand, reflected in the number of tokens minted on the Tron network last year. To date, as of October 29th, the Tron network had minted $20 billion in tokens. The Tron network occupies a special place in USDT’s ecosystem, accounting for more than half of the total USDT tokens in circulation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to the latest data available, as many as $120 billion Tether tokens are in circulation; more than 51% and about 61.7 billion are stored on the Tron network. Ethereum represents the second largest USDT reserve, which is about 45% of $55 billion. All in all, Tether still leads as a stablecoin issuer with a share of more than 67% of the overall stablecoins in circulation.<\/a><\/p>\n

What\u2019s Next For Tether?<\/p>\n

The most recent mint order has raised questions on what the future holds for Tether\u2019s USDT tokens. One of the assumptions is that the recent spike in bitcoin price had caused an increase in the stablecoins<\/a>. \u201cwhen they print, we go higher,\u201d one user posted on social media, relating it to the minting of fresh tokens to meet future requests for the issuances.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, the minting and deployment of stablecoins signal an increasing demand for crypto in a bullish market. An increase in stablecoin\u2019s supply often pushes cryptos\u2019 market prices. For example, when Tether introduced $3 billion worth of USDT tokens last August, Bitcoin\u2019s price stabilized after dipping below the $50,000 level.<\/p>\n
