Tether Injects $3 Billion in USDT Into Market Within One Week

Key Facts

Tether has injected $3 billion worth of USDT into the market over a single week, with $2.89 billion allocated to Abraxas Capital, signaling robust institutional demand. In a significant shift toward regulatory compliance, the company also froze over $340 million in dollar-pegged tokens at the direct request of US law enforcement officials. This action follows ongoing US probes and a surge in decentralized finance (DeFi) platform hacks. Meanwhile, tokenized assets on the XRP Ledger reached a record high of $3.5 billion, highlighting growth in the RWA sector. Tether also pledged $127.5 million to support the recovery of the Drift exchange following an exploit, requiring the platform to shift its primary settlement to USDT. These developments indicate that Tether is balancing its role as a market liquidity provider with increased cooperation with global regulatory authorities.
