【Crypto World】This week, Tether issued an additional 1 billion USD worth of USDT in a single transaction. Looking at the broader context, the past seven days saw an increase of 3.75 billion USD in USDT and USDC supply, and the total stablecoin trading volume for 2025 has already surpassed the 33 trillion USD mark.

The timing is interesting—this wave of liquidity release just happens to occur before several key events. The Supreme Court’s delay in ruling on tariffs directly triggered Bitcoin to surge by 2,100 USD. Meanwhile, stronger-than-expected US employment data has compressed market expectations for Fed rate cuts. Under the dual pressure of Tether reserves being strained and market uncertainty increasing, this issuance appears somewhat tactical.

However, traders still have reservations and remain cautiously alert to potential upcoming volatility.
