Tether CEO: USDT Market Cap Surpasses $180B, Used in Emerging Market Trade
The milestone matters less as a valuation headline than as a signal of where stablecoin demand is actually originating: trade and remittance corridors in emerging markets, not speculative trading desks. That shift in user base is what makes Tether's scale politically and regulatorily sensitive, since it increasingly sits inside real-economy payment flows. The open question is whether that emerging-market utility keeps expanding faster than the compliance and reserve scrutiny that accompanies it.
