Tether's USDT stablecoin supply surged by over $5 billion in one month, reaching nearly $190 billion and capturing about 60% of the stablecoin market. Meanwhile, competitors like USDC, PYUSD, and USDe lost a combined $4.2 billion, reflecting a market shift favoring liquidity, size, and perceived security amid regulatory uncertainty and crypto market caution.
