- USDT’s market dominance declined significantly from last bull market.
- The rise of Binance-backed FDUSD impacted USDT’s market.
World’s largest stablecoin Tether [USDT] achieved a historic feat last week after it hit $100 billion in market cap for the first time ever. With this, it became the third cryptocurrency to enter the exclusive club, with Bitcoin [BTC] and Ethereum [ETH] being the other members.
