Tether is minting again, introducing an additional $540 million coins today and over a half a billion in the past three days while Bitcoin is in a rally as we are reading further in the latest Tether news.
The Tether treasury is minting again as the Bitcoin price rallied above $11,000 and Whale Alert said that $300 million was created today on the TRON network after the two previous mints on the Etheruem network over the past three days worth of $120 million. Crypto exchange Bitfinex and the CTO Paolo Ardoino explained that the transactions will replenish the inventory and will prepare for more demand:
“Note this is a (sic) authorized but not issued transaction, meaning that this amount will be used as inventory for next period issuance requests.”

Tether is the most commonly used stablecoin with a $10 billion market cap. The value of the coin is pegged to the US dollar which enables it to avoid the price fluctuations that are typical of most cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin broke past the $11,000 marks over the past two days which only drove the market into a strong rally. As a result, the trading volumes doubled and BTC is being pumped back into the exchanges so it’s no wonder that the Tether demand is on the rise.
