Tether’s USDT supply reached 74 billion for the first time since May 2022, according to CryptoSlate’s data.
Over the past 30 days, Tether’s supply added roughly 5 billion as its stablecoin rivals like Binance USD (BUSD) and USD Coin (USDC) faced regulatory scrutiny and banking issues. This resulted in investors ditching these embattled stablecoins for the relative safety of USDT.
For context, USDT’s supply grew by 10% in the current year while USDC, BUSD, and DAI supplies shrank.
Meanwhile, USDT’s market dominance has reached 56.4%
USDT seeing more whales transactions
Blockchain analytical firm Santiment reported that Tether has recently seen more whale transactions.
According to Santiment, the stablecoin witnessed eight $1 billion transactions over the past year
Santiment added that Tether’s supply on exchanges dropped by 28.9% to a 10-month low as investors showed more trust in it following the struggles of USDC.
Crypto investors flee to USDT
Curve 3pool’s dashboard corroborates Santiment’s data as its liquidity pool is heavily imbalanced.
According to the dashboard, USDC and DAI account for over 90% of the pool, while USDT makes up just 8.61%. This means that crypto investors prefer holding USDT as against the other stablecoins.
