BlockBeats News, January 27 — According to Fortune, Tether achieved approximately $15 billion in profit in 2025. The amount of U.S. Treasury bonds held by Tether has surpassed that of large economies like South Korea, and it has also allocated significant amounts of Bitcoin and gold.
According to data from CoinMarketCap, as of early January, the market capitalization of USDT reached $187 billion, with daily trading volume exceeding the total of all competing stablecoins — although in the United States, with few exceptions, U.S. citizens are not permitted to use Tether’s stablecoins. Today, Tether’s ambitions go beyond just disrupting the financial sector. Over the past two years, it has made large-scale investments in satellite, data center, agriculture, telecommunications, and media industries.
