This recent mint has increased Tether’s total USDT supply on Tron to over $50 billion, solidifying its leading position in the stablecoin market. The timing is significant, as it occurs right before important macroeconomic reports from the U.S. and China, which may lead to fluctuations in global markets.
Bitcoin’s Price Reaction to USDT Expansion
Bitcoin briefly surged past $83,600 following the announcement, reflecting renewed investor confidence. Analysts have long observed a correlation between USDT issuance and Bitcoin price cycles, with large mints often preceding major bull runs.
Data from Whale Alert highlights how Tether’s net minting and burning patterns align with Bitcoin’s price movements. The influx of fresh liquidity could provide buying pressure, especially if inflation reports signal dovish trends.
Tron’s On-Chain Metrics Heat Up
Beyond Bitcoin, Tron’s blockchain fundamentals are flashing bullish signals. On-chain data reveals that new TRX accounts surged by 224,300 in just 24 hours, bringing the total to 299.63 million.
Tron saw a rise in daily transactions by 8.5 million, bringing the total number of transactions to over 10.07 billion. The total value locked (TVL) in Tron’s DeFi ecosystem grew by 4.8% to reach $19.33 billion, indicating a significant influx of new investment.
TRX Price Primed for Breakout
In the past, the release of new stablecoins, particularly on the Tron network, has often been followed by increases in the prices of TRX and similar tokens. A significant portion of the newly created USDT is used for international transfers, over-the-counter transactions, and DeFi lending, all of which require TRX gas fees.
With TRX price up 4.5%, trading at $0.2831, and 24-hour trading volume reaching $946 million, market sentiment is aligning with on-chain strength. If upcoming macroeconomic data confirms dovish inflation trends, TRX could break through short-term resistance near $0.135, potentially delivering another 4.7% profit for holders.
