Tether has minted another $1 billion in USDT as the crypto market begins to show signs of a gradual recovery following recent volatility. The move is also drawing attention as traders are optimistic that the fresh stablecoin liquidity could help sustain the market’s rebound momentum.
Tether Mints $1B USDT
Blockchain tracker Onchain Lens has, in a recent X post, reported that stablecoin giant Tether minted $1 billion USDT on the Tron network. The on-chain sleuth, highlighting data from Arkham Intelligence, revealed that the minting was carried out in a single transaction, a move that immediately drew attention from market participants monitoring liquidity flows.
Interestingly, this mint comes shortly after Onchain Lens reported on February 5, 2026, that the stablecoin giant minted another $1 billion in USDT on the Tron network. At the time, the tracker noted that Tether and its competitor, Circle, had jointly minted approximately $1.75 billion in stablecoins.
However, according to the latest update from the on-chain tracker, the total scale of recent stablecoin issuance has grown significantly. With the latest transaction, Tether and Circle have now minted a combined $4.75 billion worth of stablecoins across the Tron and Solana networks over the past seven days, highlighting a sharp surge in stablecoin liquidity entering the ecosystem.
Investors Optimistic About Liquidity Injection
Meanwhile, the latest mint has triggered mixed reactions across the crypto community. Bullish investors argue that increased stablecoin supply has historically preceded market rebounds, as more capital becomes available for trading and investing. Interestingly, large USDT issuances were often followed by periods of increased buying activity across significant digital assets.
Notably, the last time Tether and Circle aggressively minted stablecoins at this scale was during the October 2025 market crash. During that period, the fresh wave of liquidity injection helped stabilize market conditions and contributed to a broader recovery across major digital assets. As a result, many bullish investors are now optimistic that the current round of minting could produce a similar market-supportive effect.
Crypto Market Stage Gradual Recovery
Meanwhile, the aggressive wave of stablecoin issuance comes as the crypto market shows early signs of a gradual recovery following recent selling pressure. According to data from CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin, the largest digital asset by market capitalization, which dropped to $60,000 yesterday, has rebounded above the $67,000 region.
Ethereum, which also crashed to the $1,800 region during the recent sell-off, has since rebounded to around $1,951. The recovery suggests that while volatility remains elevated, buyers are gradually returning to the market after the sharp correction. However, the global crypto market capitalization is still down by 0.38% over the past 24 hours, currently sitting around $2.3 trillion.
