On-chain data showed Tether has moved $1.3 billion in USDT to exchanges and market makers since the crash. This influx pushed USDT’s market capitalization to a new record high above $115 billion.
The activity at Circle has also been heavy, with some 3.9 billion USDC issued and 2.3 billion redeemed over the past week. This meant a net increase of around 1.6 billion USDC to bring the total USDC in circulation to $34.5 billion, and the reserve is now at $34.6 billion, of which $4.5 billion sits in cash and $30.1 billion in the Circle Reserve Fund.
CoinDesk reports that the USDC market capitalization has surged by about $1.6 billion this week alone to $34.5 billion, the highest since March 2023. In the meantime, deposits of Binance’s USDT and USDC made more than $1.5 billion and $820 million, respectively, in the four days after the crash.
The USDT and USDC supply increased dramatically from November to March on the back of a cryptocurrency price rally that sent Bitcoin’s price to a record above $73,800. That growth came to something of a standstill, but it has lately picked up again.
In related news, Tether Holdings will increase its headcount to 200 by mid-2025. It is going to add talent mainly in compliance and finance. Its CEO, Paolo Ardoino, said that it looks forward to maintaining a lean structure while attaining flexibility.
