Tether 將價值超過 20 億美元的 USDT 轉移到以太坊網絡

熱門穩定幣 USDT 的發行商 Tether 於 2024 年 11 月 6 日宣布進行重大跨鏈互換，轉移價值超過 20 億美元的 USDT

Tether, the company behind the world's largest stablecoin, USDT, has announced a massive cross-chain swap on November 6, 2024, shifting over $2 billion in USDT to the Ethereum network.

全球最大穩定幣 USDT 背後的公司 Tether 宣佈於 2024 年 11 月 6 日進行大規模跨鏈交換，將超過 20 億美元的 USDT 轉移到以太坊網路。

The swap entails transferring 1 billion USDT from the Tron network, 600 million USDT from Avalanche’s C-Chain, 300 million from the NEAR protocol, 75 million from Celo, and 60 million from EOS. This swap was conducted on behalf of a major exchange, whose identity remains undisclosed, to move USDT holdings from cold wallets to Ethereum.

此次交換需要從 Tron 網路轉移 10 億美元，從 Avalanche 的 C 鏈轉移 6 億美元，從 NEAR 協定轉移 3 億美元，從 Celo 轉移 7,500 萬美元，從 EOS 轉移 6,000 萬美元。此次交換是代表一家主要交易所進行的，其身分尚未公開，目的是將 USDT 持有量從冷錢包轉移到以太坊。

According to Tether, this swap will not affect the total supply of USDT. This announcement comes amidst rumors, sparked by a Wall Street Journal report, that the U.S. government is investigating Tether for possible money laundering and sanctions violations. These reports briefly sparked fears in the crypto market.

Tether表示，本次互換不會影響USDT的總供應量。這項消息發布之際，《華爾街日報》的一篇報導引發了謠言，稱美國政府正在調查 Tether 可能存在的洗錢和違反制裁行為。這些報告短暫引發了加密貨幣市場的擔憂。

In an effort to quell these concerns, Tether's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, addressed the company's reserves during a speech at an event in Switzerland. He disclosed that Tether's assets backing USDT include around $100 billion in U.S. Treasury bills, 82,000 Bitcoin (valued at $6.2 billion), and 48 tons of gold, which recently reached a record price of $2,790 per ounce.

為了平息這些擔憂，Tether 執行長 Paolo Ardoino 在瑞士的活動中發表演講時談到了公司的儲備金。他透露，支持 USDT 的 Tether 資產包括約 1,000 億美元的美國國債、82,000 個比特幣（價值 62 億美元）和 48 噸黃金，黃金價格最近創下了每盎司 2,790 美元的歷史紀錄。

During October 2024, USDT's market cap reached $120 billion, indicating strong trading activity. However, according to data from Chainalysis, many individuals now utilize stablecoins like USDT as a store of value, particularly in nations where local currencies are experiencing devaluation.

2024 年 10 月，USDT 市值達到 1,200 億美元，交易活動強勁。然而，根據 Chainaanalysis 的數據，許多人現在使用 USDT 等穩定幣作為價值儲存手段，特別是在當地貨幣正在貶值的國家。

This cross-chain transfer further highlights Tether's strong presence in the crypto market and alleviates concerns about its stability, even as regulatory scrutiny continues.

這種跨鏈轉移進一步凸顯了 Tether 在加密市場的強大影響力，並減輕了人們對其穩定性的擔憂，儘管監管審查仍在繼續。
