Notably, the latest USDT minting came shortly after Bitcoin <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/bitcoin-rallies-above-87k-while-dollar-weakens-on-powell-speculation-after-long-weekend\/\">climbed past the $87,000 mark<\/a>, which may have triggered increased interest in stablecoin usage.<\/p>\n<p><span>Meanwhile, Tether\u2019s CEO,\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/paolo-ardoino\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paolo Ardoino,<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>confirmed<span> that the newly minted tokens are not yet in circulation.<\/span>\u00a0Instead, the funds are classified as \u201cauthorized but not issued.\u201d According to him, these assets are in the inventory and ready to be released for upcoming transactions or chain swaps.<\/p>\n<p>This approach allows Tether to respond quickly to market demand without flooding the system with unused tokens.<\/p>\n<p>Following the mint, <a href=\"https:\/\/intel.arkm.com\/explorer\/entity\/tether\">data<\/a> from blockchain analytical platform <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/arkham-intelligence\/\">Arkham Intelligence<\/a> showed a series of transactions between Tether and major exchanges such as <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/binance\/\">Binance<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/bybit\/\">Bybit<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/htx\/\">HTX<\/a>. These movements suggest that some newly minted USDT may soon be deployed to support liquidity on these platforms.<\/p>\n<p>According to Tether\u2019s transparency <a href=\"https:\/\/tether.to\/en\/transparency\/?tab=usdt\">page<\/a>, the total supply of USDT has now reached $144 billion.
