The duel between the two largest stablecoins in the market has just taken an unexpected turn. According to a report from investment bank Mizuho, Circle's USDC has surpassed Tether's USDT in adjusted volume since the start of the year, a key indicator for measuring the actual usage of these currencies. This shift does not yet challenge Tether's dominance in capitalization, but it reveals an evolution in how these assets are used. The stablecoin market is now divided between financial power and actual usage.
Tether has restarted the engine. The issuer of the market's first stablecoin created 1 billion dollars in USDT on Tron, a move that brings the crypto liquidity issue back to the center of the game at a time when geopolitical tensions are already shaking global markets.
In just 3 years, Tether has frozen 4.2 billion dollars of USDT tokens linked to illicit activities, establishing itself as a key player in the fight against financial crime in the crypto ecosystem. While some see this as progress against cybercrime, others fear a much more frightening danger.
World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a crypto venture backed by the Trump family, has unveiled a governance proposal that would require long-term staking to unlock voting rights while deepening incentives around its stablecoin, USD1.

While the market cries, Circle is thriving. 770 million in revenue, USDC soaring, a blockchain accelerating. The others? They look at their shoes, embarrassed.
Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, recently posted a short video on X. No title, no comment, no clue. Within minutes, the crypto sphere exploded.

Tether ended 2025 with strong momentum, even as the broader crypto market weakened following October’s sharp sell-off. New data shows its dollar-pegged stablecoin, USDT, continued to attract users, activity, and capital during a period of reduced risk appetite. While competing stablecoins stalled or contracted, USDT expanded across nearly every major metric—highlighting growing demand beyond speculative trading.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, Tether's USDT recorded historic on-chain activity, with 4.4 trillion dollars transferred and 2.2 billion transactions. While the overall cryptocurrency market underwent a sharp contraction, the USDT market cap reached a record 187.3 billion dollars, driven by massive retail adoption and a user base exceeding 534 million worldwide. Tether thus confirms its growing role as a stable and reliable financial infrastructure.
While bitcoin showed its worst performance since 2022, a massive capital movement was preparing in the shadows. Stablecoin volumes reached 10 trillion dollars in January, nearly a third of the annual activity of 2024 concentrated in just 30 days.

The results confirm Tether’s continued importance to global crypto market activity.
Tether has quietly become one of the world’s largest private holders of physical gold. The issuer of the world’s biggest stablecoin is buying bullion at a pace that now rivals national governments. Executives say the strategy is driven by rising concerns over monetary stability and declining confidence in paper-based assets. The expanding gold reserves also reinforce the backing of Tether’s gold-linked products.
Gold has just crossed 5,311 dollars an ounce, sparking a race to the safe haven. Facing this historic high, two crypto giants adopt opposite strategies.

Such a strategic turning point could redefine the balance of power in the crypto ecosystem.
Tether has introduced USAt, a new U.S. dollar–backed stablecoin designed to comply with U.S. federal regulations.
