Tether, the issuer of USDT, the world’s largest stablecoin, has minted the second 1 billion token on the Ethereum blockchain in less than two months. 

The stablecoin issuer has said that the new mint is part of its “inventory replenish” program to ensure stablecoin liquidity across all chains.

Tether’s treasury has announced the minting of 1 billion USDT tokens on the Ethereum blockchain just two months after a separate 1 billion USDT token was minted.

Announcing the latest mint, Tether’s CTO Paolo Ardoino, explained that the tokens were minted for chain swap and not due to a rising interest in the purchase of digital assets.

After the mint, on-chain data showed that Tether’s Treasury sent $750 million worth of USDT in a chain swap transaction to Binance. According to Arkham Intelligence, the popular blockchain analytical firm, the Tether Treasury sent the funds in three separate batches of $250 million transactions after an initial $10 test transaction.
