Tether's USAT stablecoin saw a dramatic 540% increase in circulation during April, growing from $22 million to $140.8 million. This rapid growth is driven by institutional adoption for treasury management and compliant dollar liquidity solutions, supported by Anchorage Digital Bank under federal regulation.
