Tether Balances USDT Across Two ChainsEthereum remains the leading USDT host with $72.8 billion in circulation, slightly ahead of Tron’s latest figures. Despite this, the increasing pace of Tron issuance suggests growing competition for dominance. Ethereum’s role remains strong due to its widespread DeFi integration and institutional adoption.Ethereum continues to support large transaction volumes, complex smart contracts, and secure environments preferred by many protocols. However, high gas fees often push traders to alternatives like Tron.

The firm’s balanced issuance supports both retail and institutional users. With nearly equal supply on both chains, the race for dominance remains tight.USDT Supply Hits Record $149 BillionTether’s total USDT supply has reached an all-time high of $149.4 billion, an 8.6% increase since early 2025.

While its market share is smaller, Solana remains relevant in the broader ecosystem.The growth in total USDT supply has strengthened Tether’s market leadership. It now holds 61% of the total stablecoin share. The consistent rise in minting reflects increasing demand across decentralized platforms. This expanding circulation supports greater trading volume and market activity.Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino confirmed the firm’s plans to introduce an AI-powered tool for decentralized apps, named “Tether AI.” https://t.co/qQkox6AfNg coming soon pic.twitter.com/1FZonsW5nq— Paolo Ardoino (@paoloardoino) May 5, 2025This move is expected to boost activity in USDT and Bitcoin transactions.
