Bitcoin surges as Tether mints $16B USDT on Tron in 2025, boosting liquidity and fueling bullish market momentum.
Tether, the largest stablecoin firm, has mined $1 billion worth of USDT on the Tron blockchain network, which could result in the Bitcoin price reaching new all-time highs soon. This substantial minting occurs nearly three weeks after the previous instance, and it can assist BTC in breaking free from the ongoing consolidation. Intriguingly, this minting occurs just before the publication of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for May this week.
Tether Mints an Additional $1 Billion USDT; Will Bitcoin Surge to All-Time High?
Arkham Intelligence’s data indicates that Tether has issued an additional $1 billion USDT on the Tron blockchain. This is the second significant issuance by Tether in less than a month. The most recent minting occurred after a $2 billion USDT issuance on May 21, which occurred concurrently with a significant market shift.
Bitcoin surged to a new all-time peak of $111,000 just one day after the previous mint. This is a significant development. BTC will reach new highs soon if history repeats itself. Intriguingly, the current significant minting occurred just before the May US CPI inflation figures released this week.
Tether’s USDT minting spree
In 2025, Tether generated a net total of 16.7 billion USDT across the Ethereum and Tron networks. The chart below illustrates that the minting of USDT by Tether frequently corresponds with upward movements in the price of BTC, as indicated by historical trends.
In two previous instances, BTC has experienced a rebound following the significant minting of USDT. Bitcoin surged beyond $100,000 for the first time in three months, coinciding with Tether’s issuance of 6 billion USDT between April 23 and May 7. Tether issued an additional 2 billion USDT on May 15, and BTC surpassed the $105,000 threshold shortly thereafter.
Bitcoin has been consolidating at approximately $105,000 for the past two weeks, and there is no significant catalyst. The USDT minting on Tron today could provide a substantial liquidity lift, which could propel Bitcoin and the overall market to new heights.
BTC is currently trading at $106,750, up 1.53% as of press time, with daily trading volumes increasing by 18% to exceed $41 billion. The open interest has increased by 3% to $73.5 billion, indicating that traders are becoming increasingly optimistic.
Michael Saylor will contribute an additional catalyst
Michael Saylor, the executive chairman of Strategy, has already hinted at a new Bitcoin purchase announcement expected to be made on Monday in a message posted on the X platform. The announcement could result in the reactivation of the BTC supporters, which would drive the price of BTC higher.
Currently, Bitcoin’s dominance is establishing a foundation at 64%. Rekt Capital, a prominent market analyst, anticipates that the BTC dominance will increase to 71% before the capital rotation into altcoins commences.
