This brings the total supply of USDT to 83.6 billion tokens. The minting of new USDT tokens is a controversial practice, as it can increase the supply of the stablecoin and potentially lead to inflation. However, Tether has said that it only mints new USDT tokens when there is demand from users.
In a statement, Tether said that the recent minting of USDT was "to support chain swaps." This means that the new USDT tokens were created to allow users to swap USDT between different blockchains.
The minting of new USDT tokens comes at a time when the stablecoin market is facing increased scrutiny. Regulators around the world are concerned about the potential for stablecoins to be used for money laundering and other illicit activities.
Tether has said that it is committed to working with regulators to ensure that USDT is compliant with all applicable laws and regulations. However, the company has also said that it will not "compromise the security and stability of USDT" in order to comply with regulations.
The minting of new USDT tokens is likely to continue to be a controversial practice. However, Tether has said that it will continue to mint new USDT tokens when there is demand from users.
