The USDT transfer, which came in the morning of 29th July, saw 300 Million tokens minted which, as per the model of a stablecoin, equates to $300 Million USD. The rise in supply instantly took Tether (USDT) back to the market capitalisation and key psychological level of $10 Billion which is an all-time high for the currency reached this time last week.
Volume has also seen an increase this week for the stablecoin especially against Bitcoin (BTC/USDT) on the back of its surge to $11,000.
In response to the tweet above, CTO of Bitfinex and Tether Paolo Ardoino noted that the transaction was “authorized” and will specifically be used “as inventory for next period issuance requests.”
Traders have shared their own views about the scale of the Tether (USDT) transaction though, some even comparing the continuous printing of money to that of the Federal Reserve, others suggested a demise of demand for the Tron Network in recent months as an explanation for the large transaction.
XRP Moves Up to 3rd
After a year of slow, incremental price progress from many of the top cryptocurrencies, this last week has given investors and market speculators a more positive outlook for the last half of the year.
After beginning this week (27th July) at the consistent support level of $0.20, XRP has seen some upside gains to $0.25. An increase in market cap resulted in XRP taking back the 3rd spot it has been well-associated with over the last few years.
