According to Odaily Planet Daily, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino recently disclosed USDT-related data at a USAT event, stating that USDT has nearly 500 million users worldwide, with a 10% growth rate in Q4 2024. USDT's market capitalization is nearly $170 billion, with an average daily trading volume of approximately $45 billion. 35% of the USDT supply is controlled by depositors. If Tether were a country, based on its US Treasury holdings as of Q2 2025, Tether would rank 18th among US Treasury holders. Tether added 30 million users in the second quarter, and the average number of daily USDT traders reached 17 million. 63% of USDT traders trade exclusively in USDT, while approximately 78% of other stablecoin traders also trade other tokens. (Note: This figure may indicate a larger number of users using USDT exclusively for payments and transfers.) He also stated, "Tether's profit margin is 99%."
