Tether Solidifies Its Position as a Major Player in Global Monetary Flows
In a significant development for the cryptocurrency market, Tether has solidified its position as a major player in global monetary flows. The company's dominance on the stablecoin market continues to strengthen, with Tether now holding over $127 billion in US Treasury bonds.
According to recent reports, Tether ranks as the 18th largest holder of U.S. Treasury debt, surpassing South Korea and several other countries. This impressive feat underscores Tether's increasing influence in the crypto ecosystem and its role as a key holder of US debt.
The company's $127 billion exposure comprises approximately $105.5 billion in direct U.S. Treasuries and $21.3 billion in indirect holdings. This substantial sum places Tether ahead of Germany in total Treasury holdings, further highlighting its significant position.
The growing Treasury holdings of Tether reflect the expansion of its USDT stablecoin supply, which passed $157 billion by June 2025. The company's strategy to fully back issued tokens with highly liquid, low-risk assets aligns with this growth.

As of mid-2025, Tether's market cap stands at $163.6 billion, a 19% increase from the start of the year. The global demand for dollar-pegged stablecoins, such as USDT, remains persistent, contributing to Tether's continued growth.
In response to this growth, Tether's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, shared a celebratory post, marking the company's achievements. The company announced holding $127 billion in US Treasury bonds in Q2 2025, further solidifying its central role in the digital assets universe.
