The crypto space was abuzz after Whale Alert reported that Tether’s (USDT) Treasury had minted a staggering $2 billion USDT on the Ethereum network in a single transaction on Feb. 23.

2 月 23 日，Whale Alert 報道稱，Tether (USDT) 金庫在以太坊網路上透過一筆交易鑄造了價值驚人的 20 億美元 USDT，此後，加密貨幣領域引起了轟動。

Such a significant minting naturally sparked speculations: Was Tether gearing up for a major market move? Could this influx destabilize the delicate balance of crypto liquidity?

如此大規模的鑄幣自然引發了猜測：Tether 是否正在為重大市場趨勢做好準備？這種湧入是否會破壞加密貨幣流動性的微妙平衡？

Adding fuel to the fire, the timing seemed uncanny amid Bitcoin’s (BTC) recent rally to new all-time highs. Some feared an oversupply of USDT might flood the market, leading to sell-offs or a decrease in the purchasing power of the stablecoin.

火上澆油的是，在比特幣 (BTC) 最近反彈至歷史新高之際，這個時機似乎有點不可思議。有些人擔心 USDT 供應過剩可能會湧入市場，導致拋售或穩定幣購買力下降。

The whispers grew louder until Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, stepped forward to shed light on the situation.

耳語聲越來越大，直到 Tether 執行長 Paolo Ardoino 站出來澄清情況。

Addressing the swirling rumors, Ardoino explained that the notification of the minting was delayed and linked to a recent post on X (formerly Twitter). He revealed that Tether coordinated with a “prominent third-party exchange” to perform a chain swap, stating:

針對紛繁的謠言，Ardoino 解釋說，鑄幣通知被推遲了，並與 X（以前稱為 Twitter）上最近的一篇貼文相關聯。他透露，Tether 與一家「著名的第三方交易所」協調進行了鏈交換，並表示：

“The company had coordinated with a prominent third-party exchange to perform a chain swap, which involved converting part of their USDT cold wallets from various blockchains to USDT on Ethereum.”

“該公司已與一家著名的第三方交易所協調進行鏈交換，其中涉及將其部分 USDT 冷錢包從各種區塊鏈轉換為以太坊上的 USDT。”

Very very delayed notification.

非常非常延遲的通知。

This wasn’t about increasing the total supply of USDT but reallocating existing tokens to where they’re most needed. By retiring USDT from less active blockchains like TRC20, Avalanche (AVAX), NEAR, CELO, and EOS and consolidating them onto Ethereum, Tether aims to optimize liquidity and meet the growing demand on the ‘World Computer.’

這不是要增加 USDT 的總供應量，而是將現有代幣重新分配到最需要的地方。透過從TRC20、Avalanche (AVAX)、NEAR、CELO 和EOS 等不太活躍的區塊鏈中淘汰USDT，並將其整合到以太坊上，Tether 旨在優化流動性並滿足對「世界電腦」不斷增長的需求。

Specific figures from the swap include:

互換的具體數字包括：

This strategic maneuver allows Tether to react swiftly to shifting user demand, ensuring that liquidity is concentrated where trading activity is highest. Although it’s a routine part of Tether’s operations, the scale of this swap is noteworthy and reflects broader trends in the crypto ecosystem.

這項策略性舉措使 Tether 能夠對不斷變化的用戶需求做出迅速反應，確保流動性集中在交易活動最高的地方。儘管這是 Tether 營運的常規部分，但此次互換的規模值得注意，並反映了加密生態系統的更廣泛趨勢。

Tether Liquidity Soars—$160B in a Day During BTC Spike

Tether 流動性飆升——BTC 飆升期間一天 160B 美元

Despite a slight decrease in total supply — from 120.7 billion to 120.4 billion USDT — Tether remains the primary source of liquidity in both centralized and decentralized markets. About 85% of USDT’s total supply is actively used on typical trading days.

儘管總供應量略有下降——從 1207 億美元減少到 1204 億美元，但 Tether 仍然是中心化和去中心化市場的主要流動性來源。 USDT 總供應量的約 85% 在典型交易日被活躍使用。

However, during Bitcoin’s recent surge, USDT’s trading volume skyrocketed, with over $160 billion exchanged in a single day — an impressive 132% of its circulating supply. This surge highlights USDT’s critical role in facilitating high-volume trading and its entrenched position as the stablecoin of choice, even as competitors like USDC attempt to gain ground.

然而，在比特幣最近的飆升期間，USDT 的交易量激增，單日交易量超過 1,600 億美元——佔其流通供應量的 132%，令人印象深刻。這一激增凸顯了 USDT 在促進大額交易方面的關鍵作用及其作為首選穩定幣的牢固地位，儘管 USDC 等競爭對手試圖佔領市場。

The consolidation onto Ethereum meets current demand and positions Tether to handle future market dynamics more effectively. Moreover, Tether’s strategic reallocations underscore its commitment to maintaining over-collateralization with fiat and fiat-like assets, reinforcing confidence amid past concerns about its reserves.

以太坊的整合滿足了當前的需求，並使 Tether 能夠更有效地應對未來的市場動態。此外，Tether 的策略重新分配凸顯了其對維持法定和類法定資產超額抵押的承諾，增強了人們對過去對其儲備的擔憂的信心。

The company’s recent report of a group net profit of $2.5 billion in Q3 2024 and $7.7 billion over the first nine months of the year further cements its financial robustness.

該公司最近的報告顯示，2024 年第三季集團淨利潤為 25 億美元，今年前 9 個月淨利潤為 77 億美元，進一步鞏固了其財務穩健性。
