The company’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, described this milestone in a post on his X account as a major step forward for financial inclusion.
Experts note that this sharp rise in user numbers signals a shift in USDT’s role. The stablecoin is no longer limited to serving as a trading tool on cryptocurrency exchanges. Instead, it is increasingly being integrated into real-world financial systems—particularly in developing countries—where it is used for everyday payments, remittances, and value storage.
Currently, the total circulating supply of USDT stands at approximately $182 billion.
Tether’s achievement is seen as a significant turning point in the stablecoin market and among digital dollar alternatives, further affirming its expanding role in the global economy.
