February 25 News, the world's largest stablecoin USDT's market capitalization has once again shown signs of contraction, declining for the second consecutive month, prompting a reassessment of liquidity and capital strength in the crypto market. The latest data shows that USDT's market cap has decreased by approximately 0.8% this month to $183.6 billion, a significant pullback from the previous all-time high of $186.8 billion, continuing the downward trend from January.
