USDT has made billions in profits this year.

Tether has managed to outperform all other stablecoins consistently and is now listed as the 17^th largest U.S. Treasury securities holder. The company behind the coin released a report on October 31^st detailing their earnings this year which showed that they made more than $4.3 billion in Q3.

Stablecoins have performed very well this year, but in particular, Tether has outperformed its previous years of growth. That is thanks in part to new cryptocurrency legislation that was aimed at stablecoins- the GENIUS Act.

Tether Enjoys Powerful Growth

The growth of the Tether is due to increased demand for USDT coins, according to a company report. Their stablecoin is linked to the United States dollar, so its price rarely fluctuates much.

The company is issuing new USDT coins rapidly, and they digitally minted around $17 billion in the period between July and September of this year. Now, the coin’s total circulating supply is at $174 billion and growing.

Trade volume for Tether is rising quickly at the moment, up nearly 20% over the last 24 hours. Since Monday, about $188.7 billion in USDT was circulated, which is more than the coin’s market capitalization.

More than 50 million people use Tether, and the coin has remained the leading stablecoin since its release, beating out second place USDC by a wide margin. What the coin has working in its favor is that all of its digital tokens are backed by real United States money, and the company behind it even had $6.8 billion in reserve, in case that is needed. This backing makes USDT secure and ensures that the bottom will not simply fall out of the coin and that it will not lose its value quickly and unexpectedly.
