Tether's $127 Billion Treasury Holdings Challenge Global Financial Norms

Tether's $4.9 billion profit signals stablecoin dominance and ... shift

Tether has reported an impressive profit of $4.9 billion for Q2 2025, marking a 277% increase from the previous year. With assets totaling $162.6 billion and liabilities at $157.1 billion, Tether's USDt stablecoin continues to dominate the market, holding a 61.7% share. The company's expansion efforts, particularly in Latin America and Africa, have been bolstered by favorable regulatory developments in the United States. As Tether increases its holdings of U.S. Treasuries to over $127 billion, it positions itself as a significant player in the financial landscape. CEO Paolo Ardoino believes that stablecoins like USDt can counteract the de-dollarization efforts by BRICS nations. Moreover, TRON has emerged as the primary network for USDt transactions, outpacing Ethereum significantly. Its low fees and gasless transactions have made it the preferred choice for users, especially in emerging markets. Tether's growth reflects a broader trend towards the mainstream adoption of stablecoins.
