<p>While it is unclear whether the tokens were released into circulation, Tether’s Transparency report <a href="https://tether.to/en/transparency/?tab=usdt" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">shows</a> no changes in authorized tokens for circulation since Aug. 19. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino <a href="https://x.com/paoloardoino/status/1825828265522499906" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">noted</a> in an X post on Aug. 20 that following the latest transaction, USDT’s market capitalization reached to $117 billion.</p>
<p>As of press time, the amount of USDT tokens in circulation on the TRON blockchain appears to be unchanged and remains around $60.8 billion, according to the Transparency report.</p>

<p>Should Tether proceed to issue the $1 billion in USDT tokens into circulation, it would further solidify TRON’s position as the largest network by minted USDT tokens, surpassing Ethereum, which holds nearly $53 billion in USDT. Other networks, such as Solana, Algorand, and Celo, lag significantly behind in USDT liquidity, with differences of several billion dollars, according to data from Tether.</p>
