USDT supply hits record high as stablecoin use expands

Tether’s dollar-pegged stablecoin USDT has reached a record circulation of $188 billion, its CEO confirmed. Supply has risen from early March levels and follows earlier declines in January and February that Tether described as a strategic repositioning. Tether and external data show the company manages about $187 billion in assets and earned more than $10 billion in profit in 2025. Stablecoin use is expanding beyond exchange liquidity into payments, remittances and financial infrastructure, including work by DoorDash and Tempo and moves by major payments firms.

BIS says stablecoins closer to securities than money, need regulation

The Bank for International Settlements said stablecoins have a structure closer to exchange-traded funds than to money and called for global regulatory coordination. It warned that divergent national rules could lead to market fragmentation and regulatory arbitrage. BIS officials cited rapid growth in dollar-pegged tokens, redemption frictions and price dislocations, and risks that large-scale redemptions could spread stress to broader markets. Officials also flagged possible policy impacts and debated interest payments.

Stablecoin transactions could overtake Visa and Mastercard by 2035

Stablecoin transaction volumes could surpass traditional payment networks within the next decade, driven by the spread of on-chain payment infrastructure and generational shifts, an analysis said. Chainalysis estimates annual stablecoin transactions could reach as much as $1,500 trillion by 2035, or $719 trillion if current trends persist. A report said 2025 stablecoin volume topped $33 trillion, exceeding combined Visa and Mastercard processing. Adoption, regulation and offline integration were cited as key factors.
