Tether Mints 5B USDT in Two Weeks as Treasury Holdings Reach $141B

Tether has ramped up liquidity provision by minting 5 billion USDT within two weeks, primarily utilizing the TRON network to meet surging demand. Highlighting this momentum, Binance recently tracked a significant net liquidity inflow of $195 million in USDT in a single day. This surge in exchange-level liquidity aligns with Tether's Q1 2026 performance, where gold reserves reached 707,747 fine troy ounces, marking a 36% quarterly increase. Alongside its gold holdings, Tether maintains a massive $141 billion exposure to US Treasuries and record excess reserves of $8.23 billion. These developments, coupled with the XAU₮ token's market cap exceeding $3.3 billion, underscore Tether's evolving strategy to diversify its backing while maintaining its role as the primary liquidity provider for major global exchanges.
