Tether, a leading stablecoin issuer, has made a major USDT minting expansion while announcing the launch of a new AI platform.
USDT Minting Expansion
Tether minted another $1 billion in USDT on Tron, boosting its total supply on the network to $71.4 billion. This marks the fourth major mint in just eight days, with $4 billion created since April 28 across Ethereum and Tron. Ethereum leads with $72.8 billion, but Tron is quickly closing the gap.
USDT Dominance Outlook
Despite the expansion, technical indicators suggest a looming decline in USDT dominance. A descending triangle pattern has formed, indicating potential resistance and suggesting dominance may drop to 3% by late 2026. These trends highlight a growing bearish sentiment for USDT, which could signal a rise for altcoins.
Tether Enters AI
Tether has entered the artificial intelligence field with the launch of "Tether AI," designed for decentralized AI operations. The platform's modular architecture, Personal Infinite Intelligence, operates independently of cloud providers. Tether AI also includes a Wallet Developer Kit (WDK) for Bitcoin and USDT integration, enabling autonomous AI agents to conduct payments and interact with smart contracts.
Tether's expansion in USDT minting and the launch of Tether AI emphasize confidence in the stablecoin's future and its pursuit of technological innovation.
