📊 Tether in 2025: Strategic Pivot to Safety Amid Record Asset Growth! 🚀
The world’s leading stablecoin issuer has released its 2025 report. The main takeaway: Tether is doubling down on liquidity and "digital gold," solidifying its position as a global financial powerhouse.
The Key Numbers:
✅ Net Profit: Over $10 billion. While this is $3 billion (23%) lower than the 2024 record, the scale of profitability remains staggering.
✅ US Treasury Bills: A new historic high of $122 billion. Tether is now one of the world's largest holders of US government debt!
✅ USDT Supply: Total assets grew by over $49 billion this year, with $50 billion in new USDT issued. Market cap has surged to $185.51 billion (Rank #3).
The Gold Standard 🏆
Tether is significantly diversifying its reserves into precious metals:
• XAUT (Gold-backed stablecoin) reserves hit $12 billion.
• Total gold holdings now stand at a massive 130 tons, valued at $22 billion.
Why Does This Matter?
CEO Paolo Ardoino notes that the demand for USDT is driven by a global appetite for the US dollar that bypasses traditional banking. The strategic shift toward low-risk Treasury Bills and gold proves that Tether is prioritizing stability and liquidity over short-term aggressive gains.
For the crypto market, this is a major confidence booster: the foundation of the industry's primary stablecoin is stronger than ever. 💪
