On Monday, the total number of daily transactions that involved Ethereum-based Tether (USDT), the most used stablecoin in the cryptosphere, has reached a new all-time high. According to Etherscan, 208,107 transactions were made, worth $1.2 billion, within a span of 24 hours.
As Decrypt reported on May 23, nearly $5 billion in Tethers were issued since January, possibly signifying the low levels of actual dollars circulating in the Bitcoin ecosystem, according to Nicholas Weaver, a researcher at the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley.
By design, each USDT is supposed to be backed by a real $1 held by Tether Limited, the company behind the stablecoin. But in the past Tether has revealed that it’s holdings were only 74% backed, and that each USDT is now backed by its reserves, which are made up of both cash and various investments. The reserves have never been audited.
Tether is also available on other blockchains, including Bitcoin (via the omni network), Tron and Algorand.
According to Etherscan, USDT’s historic trading volumes began to sharply spike in September 2019, reaching 188,621 daily transactions at the month’s peak—worth roughly $620 million in USDT.
If this trend continues, Tether may very well significantly surpass its records of 2019, when the stablecoin was used to transfer roughly $212 billion of value during the year.
Just recently, the stablecoin also outranked Ripple’s XRP among the top ten cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, taking the third place with its market cap of roughly $8.8 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.
Yet, the gap between the two is still relatively small by the industry’s standards—around $200 million—so XRP may still reclaim its place among “the big three” in the near future. That's if it can solve its inflation issues.
Popular Solana token launchpad Pump.fun appears to be set to begin the sale of its upcoming token on July 12, after a second major exchange leaked the date. ByBit Ukraine posted and deleted the announcement on Wednesday morning, which included a detail that European users will be restricted from the sale. A user with the "ambassador" title in the official ByBit Ukraine Telegram group, named Andriy, told Decrypt that the announcement was scheduled to go live at 14:00 UTC, but ByBit Ukraine posted...
Ethereum NFT collection Goblintown is looking to shake up the meme coin market, dropping its own meme coin—GOB—on the Solana blockchain with a new token model designed to refresh the meme coin experience. The token, which was launched in stealth late Tuesday by Truth Arts’ wholly owned subsidiary Exploding Goblin LLC, aims to solve the longevity issues of new meme coins with a multi-pronged approach that Goblintown co-founder Alex Taub says is the product of studying other launches from the tre...
Hackers appear to be targeting an old Bitcoin address holding over $8 billion in digital coins stolen from collapsed crypto exchange, Mt. Gox. As first flagged by BitMEX Research, would-be attackers sent the address—1FeexV6bAHb8ybZjqQMjJrcCrHGW9sb6uF—a transaction using OP_RETURN. OP_RETURN—which has been controversial among some users—is a way of storing information on Bitcoin's blockchain. In this case, the transaction sent to the wallet contains text displaying a website address, in an appar...
