Tether is planning something quite big in the U.S. bond market. According to the latest news, Tether USA's CEO announced their ambitious target to become the top tether holder among the top 10 government bond buyers by 2026.
Actually, looking at their current position, Tether already plays a significant role in the U.S. securities market. With approximately $189.76 billion in USDT circulating, they are already one of the largest global bondholders, ranking in the top 20. What’s interesting is their commitment to safe assets—more than 83% of their reserves, which is over $155 billion, are allocated to U.S. government bonds.
What makes this plan seem realistic? The continuous growth of USDT users, increasing by about 30 million per quarter, shows strong momentum. Plus, with the launch of USAT that complies with GENIUS regulations, this could open up even greater demand for bonds.
So basically, Tether is not only the leading stablecoin issuer by market cap but is also positioning itself as a serious player in the traditional bond market. If they succeed in reaching the top 10 next year, it will be a significant milestone for the crypto industry in the conventional financial market. Worth watching to see how this strategy develops.
