Tether mints another $1B USDT on Tron — $5B issued in two weeks!

Tether minted 1 billion <a class="ticker-mention" href="/en-US/token/usdt">USDT</a> on the Tron network within the past hour, continuing an aggressive issuance run that has now totalled 5 billion USDT over the past two weeks. The pace is notable: five tranches of this size in a fortnight signals sustained demand for dollar-denominated liquidity on-chain.

Heavy USDT minting has historically preceded or accompanied periods of elevated market activity — fresh supply typically flows into exchanges and DeFi protocols as traders position for moves. With $5B printed in 14 days, the stablecoin bid looks structural rather than opportunistic.
