Tether's Market Cap Nears $80B, USDT Represents 46% of the Stablecoin Economy

This week the stablecoin giant tether reached a market capitalization of roughly $78.2 billion according to data. Over the last 30 days, tether’s market valuation grew by 5.6% and the stablecoin now represents 46% of the $168.3 billion stablecoin economy.

Tether Market Cap is Less Than $2 Billion Away From Reaching $80 Billion

On December 30, 2021, there’s roughly 78.2 billion tether (USDT) in circulation, according to coingecko.com’s top stablecoin by market capitalization statistics. According to Tether Limited’s transparency report published to the tether.to web portal, there’s $78.5 billion assets under management. Metrics indicate that tether represents 3.35% of the $2.33 trillion crypto economy today and 46% of the $168.3 billion stablecoin economy.

Tether's Market Cap Nears $80B, USDT Represents 46% of the Stablecoin Economy

Tether has seen massive growth during its lifetime. For instance, on September 13, 2015, tether’s market capitalization was $451,600 and the jump to $78.2 billion is a whopping 17,327,227% increase in just over six years. The only stablecoin with a comparable market valuation is usd coin (USDC) with $42.1 billion, up 9.7% since last month. USDC represents 1.8% of the $2.33 trillion market cap and is around 52.68% or just over half the size of tether’s market valuation.

The two stablecoins combined represent 71.82% of the entire stablecoin economy and roughly 5.15% of the $2.33 trillion crypto economy. Four stablecoin protocols in the top ten positions of stablecoin market valuations, have increased between 12.9% to 42.9%. BUSD issued by Binance jumped 12.9%, Terra’s UST spiked 34.2%, MIM increased by 30.9% and FRAX swelled by 42.9%.

Tether’s overall valuation is 39% larger than BUSD, UST, MIM, and FRAX combined. Besides being the largest stablecoin in existence today issued across several blockchains, Tether commands the most trade volume as well. Tether’s 24 hour volume is more than BTC’s daily volume today with $52.8 billion in USDT trades. Bitcoin has less than half that volume with $25.5 billion on Thursday.

Russia and China May Be Developing Gold-Backed Currency Several experts have shared their views on Russia and China potentially creating a new gold-baked currency, Fox Business reported Saturday, emphasizing that China has been buying up huge quantities of gold while Russia was forced off the U.S. dollar due to sanctions imposed on the country following its invasion of Ukraine.

Fidelity Discusses Bitcoin as Portfolio Insurance — Could Soon Stand in ‘Stark Contrast’ to Path Fiat Currencies Take

Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, says that bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance. The firm notes that the cryptocurrency “may soon stand in stark contrast to the path that the rest of the world and fiat currencies may take — namely the path of increased supply, additional currency creation, and central bank balance sheet expansion.” Fidelity Says Bitcoin Could Be Portfolio Insurance Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, recently published a research study titled “The Rising Dollar and Bitcoin.” The research outlines “how bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance” as the rising dollar impacts global currency markets. “The strengthening U.S. dollar is wreaking havoc among other countries and may put pressure on the Federal Reserve to soon reverse its tightening monetary actions, something that has precedent based on 1985’s Plaza Accord,” Fidelity explained.
