Globally, Tether (USDT) remains the market’s dominant stablecoin, with a market capitalization exceeding $184 billion and accounting for more than 60% of the total stablecoin market share.
Key points on the international landscape:
Peg and Liquidity: It maintains its fixed peg of $1.00 USD, with global daily trading volumes exceeding $35–48 billion, cementing its position as the main source of liquidity on exchanges and in P2P transactions.
Reserve Composition: Its backing reserves consist primarily of U.S. Treasury bills (T-bills) and repurchase agreements, along with smaller percentages in gold, Bitcoin, and loans.
Distribution Across Networks: Most USDT issuance circulates on the TRON (~50%) and Ethereum (~40%) networks, followed by BNB Chain and Solana.
Regulatory Environment: Internationally, it faces a divided landscape: while it is the preferred tool for hedging and remittances in emerging markets and Latin America, it faces greater listing restrictions in regions with strict regulatory frameworks (such as Europe under MiCA).
