Tether strengthens its position: $2 billion USDT on Tron eases the margin of safety

Tether this week created another $2 billion USDT on the Tron blockchain, increasing reserves and preparing for a possible surge in demand. The issuance of the new tokens activated two tranches of $1 billion each, echoing the pattern of the last Ethereum issuance on June 18 and a tactical move ahead of recent regulatory decisions and reports from major players.

During June 23, Tether reserves rose 1.3% and USDT in circulation approached a record $156 billion. The stablecoin's large portfolios are used not only to hedge risk, but also to move liquidity between networks without delays or conversion fees. Tron, with its low fees and high speed, is emerging as a key platform for transactions of $500 million and above.

The increase in issuance on Tron has coincided with rising institutional demand in Asia and the US. Analysts attribute this to increased trading volumes on exchanges, where USDT provides an “entry ticket” to spot venues and DeFi pools. Tether's strategy is based on issue diversification: issuing USDT on several blockchains at once - from Ethereum and Tron to Solana and BNB Smart Chain - allows for flexible redistribution of assets without bottlenecks and minimizes the risks of technical failures.

The key indicator of sustainability remains the ratio of issuance to reserves: each addition of $1 billion USDT implies the placement of an equivalent amount of fiat funds or their equivalents. This keeps confidence in USDT above 99% and curbs criticism from regulators demanding transparency. At the same time, Tether continues to work with blockchain analysts and law enforcement, as demonstrated by the $2.7 billion asset freeze to combat fraud.
