Ethereum Becomes the Top Network of USDT
Currently, Ethereum is back on top as the favored blockchain for Tether (USDT) transactions, leaving TRON for the first time since August 2022. New USDT issuance on the Ethereum platform rose by 9.5 % to cross $60 billion this week, while USDT on TRON dropped by 1.5 %, touching $58 billion.
A gradual shift from USDT started on November 21, and the divergence was even starker on November 23 when Tether created $2bn of USDT on Ethereum and TRX jointly created only $1bn. This achievement further strengthens Ethereum as a platform for institutional financial activities such as tokenizing digital assets of the dollar.
However, TRON continues to be preferred within inflationary economy regions, mostly because of its low fees and fast transactions. The total USDT supply was enjoying its record high of $132 billion due to the overall positive sentiment observed in the crypto market.
With the rising activity on Ethereum’s blockchain platform and recent court approval of the decentralized finance (DeFi) system, investors’ confidence has been boosted, putting Ethereum at the center of developing bitcoins.
