The regulatory crackdown on cryptocurrencies is proving a boon for a token that’s located outside the US and being scrutinized over the transparency of its reserves.
Tether Holdings Ltd’s USDT — the world’s largest stablecoin — increased its market share by about $1 billion in the past 24 hours alone, as some traders move their holdings out of rivals following a series of enforcement drives by financial watchdogs in the US.
Since early February, $2.5 billion has been injected into usdt, bringing its total procurement from $67.8 billion to $69.4 billion on Tuesday, according to the data website challenge. In the same period, circle usdc saw releases of 1.45 billion dollars and the paxos bus lost 710 million dollars. Both operate under our authority's supervision.
New entries in usdt increased its market share to 51%, defilama said.

A fresh bout of regulatory activity is spooking investors. On Monday, the New York Department of Financial Services told rival stablecoin issuer Paxos to stop minting new Binance-branded BUSD tokens due to “unresolved issues” in overseeing its relationship with Binance.

In just the past 24 hours, the stock market capitalization of usdt has increased by $1 billion, according to Defilama data. Usdc and bus at the same time decreased, losing 280 million dollars and 690 million dollars, respectively.
One of the circle's spokesmen refused to comment. Tether did not respond to an RFC. A Paxos spokesperson referred to its recent statements regarding developments around BUSD.
What are knives, anyway?
- What are the Stabilizers?
- Digital tokens that aim to retain individual value with a less volatile asset like the dollar, generally holding large reserves as a separate guarantee.
- Stablecoins have been subject to increased regulatory oversight in the wake of the $40 billion terrausd collapse, which relied on algorithmic incentives with its token luna sister to keep its value.
