Tether’s USDT supply is growing at its fastest rate on the Telegram-linked The Open Network (TON) blockchain.jsbet

According to Tether’s transparency page, the stablecoin issuer has issued $580 million worth of USDT tokens on the blockchain, and its net circulation sits at $519 million as of press time. This milestone comes less than two months after Tether issued its USDT stablecoin on the network.

Why Tether USDT is growing on TON

TON stated that the growth was due to the ease of performing transactions on its network. It stated:

“Sending digital dollars to anyone, anywhere, as easily as sending a text message is a reality for people all over the world. What’s more real than that?”

Market analysts also pointed out that USDT’s supply increase on TON could be linked to the significant investors’ interest in the blockchain ecosystem. Over the past month, TON has experienced considerable growth, with the network flipping the number of daily active addresses on the more storied Ethereum blockchain.

Additionally, Binance, the largest crypto exchange by trading volume, recently enabled support for TON’s USDT on its platform. This move has drastically expanded the crypto community’s access to the stablecoin on the blockchain network.

Tether scrutiny

While USDT’s growth coincides with the overall expansion of the TON ecosystem, a Consumer Research group in the US is now scrutinizing Tether.

On June 25, Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terret reported that Consumers Research, a US consumer advocacy group, recently intensified its efforts against the stablecoin issuer by distributing flyers about it to several lawmakers’ offices in Washington, DC.

The flyers accuse Tether of being involved in fraud investigations, terrorist financing, and having close ties with China. Part of the flyer reads:

“Tether’s shady business practices put consumers’ money at risk, while allowing bad actors to fund their illicit activities across the globe.”

As of press timejsbet, Tether has yet to respond to CryptoSlate’s request for comment. However, Tether CEO recently told CryptoSlate that the FUD against it is seemingly neverending and that he realizes the company may have been naive in believing it “could just keep our head down, work, and if we were proving that we were doing good to the world and that we were useful, all the FUD would go away eventually, right?”
