Tether Treasury mints 1,000,000,000 USDT (1,000,100,000 USD)

Tether Treasury minted 1,000,000,000 USDT, increasing available stablecoin liquidity that can flow into crypto spot and derivatives venues. While minting is not the same as immediate distribution, large issuance events are closely monitored as a proxy for near-term buying power and exchange funding conditions. In the short run, this can tighten spreads and raise risk-taking capacity across major crypto assets.
