The biggest stablecoin in the world, <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/tether-freezes-5-2m-usdt-linked-to-phishing-groups/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Te</a><a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/tether-freezes-5-2m-usdt-linked-to-phishing-groups/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">t</a><a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/tether-freezes-5-2m-usdt-linked-to-phishing-groups/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">her</a> (USDT), has minted yet another $1 billion worth of USDT, putting its market cap beyond $110 billion. This might be the much-needed catalyst for Bitcoin’s next climb to new all-time highs.
An additional $1 billion worth of USDT was minted by Tether’s Treasury in the last 24 hours, bringing the total amount of <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/tether-freezes-5-2m-usdt-linked-to-phishing-groups/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">USDT</a> minted this year to $31 billion. Earlier, the price of Bitcoin surged from $27,000 to $73,000, in large part because of the newly created USDT, as stated in a post by Lookonchain on May 17.

Tether has pledged to diversify its stablecoin’s backing assets by investing 15% of its net earnings into Bitcoin, which might directly help in <a href="http://bitcoin.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin’s</a> surge.
According to Bitinfocharts, Tether became the seventh-largest Bitcoin holder in the world on March 31 after acquiring 8,888 Bitcoin worth $618 million. After declaring its intention to diversify into Bitcoin one year ago, Tether’s wallet now has more than 78,317 BTC, which is worth more than $5.18 billion.
Investments into spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continue to be a major factor influencing the price of Bitcoin. The net positive outflows from U.S. Bitcoin ETFs continued for a second week, according to Dune.
A big component of the present Bitcoin run to new all-time highs was the institutional inflows from ETFs. As the price of the biggest cryptocurrency in the world soared beyond $50,000 on February 15th, exchange-traded funds (<a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/etf.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETFs</a>) absorbed about 75% of the fresh capital inflow.
Moreover, the $65,000 level seems to be a significant support for BTC, and the price movement of Bitcoin has corroborated yesterday’s breakthrough on the daily chart.
