<a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/tether/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Tether</a>‘s USDT, the world’s largest stablecoin, has minted another $1 billion, raising its market capitalization to over $110 billion.
This could potentially drive Bitcoin to new all-time highs.
In the past 24 hours, Tether’s treasury minted $1 billion worth of USDT, bringing its annual total to $31 billion.
According to a May 17 post from Lookonchain, this significant minting contributed to Bitcoin’s price rise from $27,000 to $73,000.
Tether is also directly investing in Bitcoin.
The company plans to invest 15% of its net profit in Bitcoin to diversify its stablecoin’s backing assets.
As of March 31, Tether had acquired 8,888 BTC worth $618 million, making it the seventh-largest Bitcoin holder globally, per Bitinfocharts.
Currently, Tether’s wallet holds over 78,317 BTC, valued at more than $5.18 billion, one year after announcing its diversification plan.
Bitcoin’s price movements are also influenced by institutional investments in spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
According to Dune, U.S. Bitcoin ETFs have seen over $200 million in net inflows over the past two weeks.

These institutional inflows have been crucial to Bitcoin’s current rally to new all-time highs.
By February 15, Bitcoin ETFs accounted for about 75% of new investments in Bitcoin as it crossed the $50,000 mark.
On May 16, Bitcoin’s price confirmed a breakout on the daily chart, with $65,000 acting as strong support, according to TradingView.
Crypto analyst Rekt Capital noted in a May 16 X post that Bitcoin had turned its old resistance into support on the monthly chart, indicating a bullish trend.
However, Bitcoin might still experience a temporary correction to below $63,500 before reclaiming the $70,000 psychological mark.
ScorehoodAI’s prediction algorithm suggested a pullback to around $63,000-$63,500, calling it a healthy correction to liquidate high-leveraged positions.
A drop below $63,500 would liquidate over $1.76 billion in leveraged long positions, and under $63,000, liquidations would reach $1.87 billion, according to Coinglass data.
