Tether Aims to Boost Polygon’s DeFi Ecosystem

According to the official announcement of Tether’s launch on Polygon, the latter network’s DeFi ecosystem ‘will benefit greatly from Tether’s role in its development.’

Tether’s integration into Polygon means that it’s over 19,000 Dapps and 8,000 development teams can now access the liquidity provided by the stablecoin. Polygon’s over 142 million unique user addresses ‘will have a major stable digital currency to generate returns from while moving freely within and across the network.’

Tether’s CTO, Paolo Ardoino, further pointed out that the Polygon ecosystem had witnessed tremendous growth and Tether will continue to help it thrive. He said:

We’re excited to launch USDt on Polygon, offering its community access to the most liquid, stable, and trusted stablecoin in the digital token space.

The Polygon ecosystem has witnessed historical growth this year and we believe Tether will be essential in helping it continue to thrive.

USDT on Tron Still Exceeds that on Ethereum as Tether’s Circulating Supply Remains Stable at $72.537 billion

With respect to the amount of Tether issued on the various blockchains, USDT issued on Tron continues to exceed that issued on Ethereum. At the time of writing, there is a $72.537 billion worth of Tether in circulation, broken down on the various blockchains as follows:

  • Tron – $38.735 billion
  • Ethereum – $36.815 billion
  • Solana – $1.889 billion
  • Omni – $1.335 billion
  • Avalanche – $651 million
  • Algorand – $158.99 million
  • EOS – $85.251 million
  • Liquid – $36.561 million
  • SLP – $5.987 million
  • Statemine – $500k
  • Polygon  – $0

Tether’s Market Cap Remains Stable After This Month’s Stablecoin Jitters

To note is that Tether is still ranked third in terms of market capitalization and has witnessed an $11 billion reduction in its market cap as a result of stablecoin jitters in the crypto market catalyzed by UST’s massive depegging event.

However, zooming out to view Tether’s market capitalization data over the years, it can be concluded that USDT’s growth is still unmatched in the stablecoin arena. The chart below, courtesy of Coinmarketcap, further provides a visual cue of Tether’s growth over the years.
