On April 1, Tether’s capitalization was $ 4.92 billion. Now, this figure has reached $ 7.159 billion.

According to information from the official Tether website, 7.5 billion coins are currently issued. A large part of the issue was released on the Ethereum blockchain (ETC-20 protocol). Whale Alert reports that every couple of days the USDT issue is increasing by 120 million tokens.

Previously, researchers from the Haas business school said that the growth in the issue of stablecoins does not affect classical cryptocurrencies in any way, and does not stimulate their growth. But there is an inverse relationship, and the growth in demand for the cryptocurrency market is always reflected in stablecoins.
