Tether Treasury minted 2 billion USDT on the Ethereum blockchain via two transactions on July 16, 2025. Out of that $1 billion was sent directly to Binance which is indicating a strong liquidity move. The transaction was confirmed by Arkham Intelligence and other on-chain tracking platforms.
The huge mint is one of Tether’s latest series of large-scale USDT issuances, which have in the past come before major market moves. Some other recent mints are:
- April 16, 2024– $1B USDT minted
- June 12, 2024 – $1B USDT minted
- July 3, 2024 – $1B USDT minted
- July 16, 2025 – $2B USDT minted on Ethereum
With this latest release, Tether’s circulating supply exceeds $159 billion, making it the most traded stablecoin in the crypto space.
Direct deposits of newly minted USDT on centralized exchanges such as Binance typically denote greater inflow of liquidity, tending to induce substantial trades, margin purchasing, or institutional purchasing. In past cases, they have introduced short-term price volatility or bull market sentiment.
Despite repeated assurance by Tether of full reserve collateralization, concerns over audit transparency and regulatory oversight remain a concern in the crypto sphere.
With $1 billion simply being dropped onto Binance, analysts and traders now watch for ripple effects throughout the whole market.
