On Aug. 20, blockchain data showed that Tether minted $1 billion of its Tether (USDT) tokens on the Tron network and sent them to its treasury wallet. According to the onchain analytics platform Lookonchain, the “Tether Treasury” wallet minted $33 billion in stablecoin tokens in the last year. Tether mints 1 billion USDT tokens on Tron.

The data platform said 19 billion USDT tokens were minted on the Tron network, while 14 billion tokens were created on the Ethereum blockchain. Tether replenishes stablecoin inventory


Tether’s 1 billion mint on Tron follows another token mint of the same value on Ethereum. On Aug. 13, data tracking platform Whale Alert flagged a transaction that showed that the stablecoin issuer added another 1 billion on Ethereum. 


Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said on X that the $1 billion transaction was simply a “USDT inventory replenish” on Ethereum. The executive said that the transaction was authorized but not issued, which means that it will be used as inventory for the issuer’s next batch of issuance requests and chain swaps. 


In traditional businesses, inventory replenishment requires stock orders to meet demands. Similarly, Tether may create USDT to maintain a sufficient supply and hold them until they are officially issued. This ensures smooth liquidity management without an immediate release into circulation. 


Cointelegraph reached out to Tether for comments but did not get an immediate response.

While Tether did not publish official statements regarding the new 1 billion tokens on Tron, it is likely to have the same purpose as the recently minted USDT tokens on Ethereum. 


According to Tether’s Transparency page, the stablecoin issuer’s treasury only has $36 million USDT tokens on Tron that are “authorized but not issued” as of Aug. 19. This means that Tether may be running low on USDT on the Tron network, highlighting a strong demand for the stablecoin on Tron. 


Tron currently leads the stablecoin supply market. On Aug. 16, Coin Metrics data showed that the network commands 37.9% of the total stablecoin market share, with over $61 billion in stablecoins in the blockchain.
