USDT is a USD stablecoin issued by Tether, launched in 2014.
On 1 October 2026 Tether's own transparency feed showed about $92 billion of USDT in circulation on Tron, against about $87 billion on Ethereum and under $3 billion on every other chain. For the US market Tether launched a separate stablecoin, USA₮, issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, N.A., and described USDT as "progressing towards GENIUS Act compliance".
USDT is the largest stablecoin in circulation. Tether's Q2 2026 attestation recorded $183.62 billion of digital tokens issued as of 30 June 2026.
Which entity issues it
Tether's Relevant Information Document, submitted to El Salvador's digital assets commission, the CNAD, names Tether International, S.A. de C.V. as the entity that issues and redeems USDT. The quarterly reserve attestations and the 2025 financial audit also report on Tether International, S.A. de C.V.
What backs it
Backing is a mixed reserve. Tether states the majority of reserves sit in US government-backed instruments, alongside gold, secured loans and other assets.

179.4B USDT in circulation across 35 chains, 22 of them holding supply bridged from Ethereum. Tron carries 51.5%. That is 61.5% of the USD stablecoin supply on the map, the largest of 70.
Includes 32.3M USDT on Omni that Tether reports as quarantined (mostly frozen after the 2017 theft); DIA counts frozen tokens until they are destroyed onchain.
The total is circulating supply: 193.4B USDT read from the contracts, less 14.0B USDT that Tether holds unissued in its own treasury wallets on Ethereum, Avalanche, Celo, Tron, Solana, TON, Kaia, Kava, Near, Aptos, Polkadot, Omni, Tezos, read onchain in the same snapshot. Each chain row takes those wallets off the chain that holds them. The supply chart draws contract supply, which still includes the treasury.
BSC, Arbitrum, Polygon, Plasma, Mantle, Optimism, X Layer, Hyperliquid L1, Monad, Ink, Berachain, Flare, Conflux, Stable, Tempo, Unichain, Morph, MegaETH, Rootstock, Manta, Sei, Etherlink hold bridged supply: each token there is backed by Ethereum supply, or by a custodian holding it. The total counts each token once, so bridged supply shows on the chain that holds it, marked “bridged from” its source, and comes off the source chain's row.
All USD stablecoins, 30d: the change in DeFiLlama circulating supply summed over the 64 USD stablecoins with a reading at both ends of the window. Wrappers and rebasing stablecoins are left out. It is DeFiLlama’s figure, not a DIA read.
Source: DIA first-party onchain reads of contract supply, the chart’s line, which includes the issuer treasury. Each figure is the change in contract supply across USDT’s chains between two daily snapshots. Circulating supply is not used for these windows. Not mints minus redeems: DIA does not publish issuance flow.
Share and rank are against the combined supply of the 70 active USD stablecoins on the map, each valued at DIA’s own read and price where DIA holds one and at DeFiLlama’s circulating figure otherwise. Wrappers are left out, as in every total on the map.

USDT's typical daily move over the last 90 days was 3.6 bps, steadier than 47 of 66 other USD stablecoins.
By default USDT sits beside its largest USD peer by current supply. Add more from the picker below the chart. Figures are in basis points: 100 bps = 1%.
Peg volatility is how much USDT's price swings around $1 from one day to the next: the standard deviation over 30 or 90 days. A stablecoin that sits steadily at $0.998 scores near zero. Largest deviation is the single day in the last 12 months furthest from $1, signed.
Median of peers, off by default, is the middle value among the peers currently shown; turn it on from the chart's controls.
The ranking counts every active USD stablecoin with at least two daily prices in the last 90 days.
Prices are daily closes at 00:00 UTC, from DeFiLlama with CoinGecko where DeFiLlama has no price. The chart beside this panel plots those same daily closes, so every figure in the table can be found on a line here. DeFiLlama quoted rounded and filled prices until 30 September 2025, so for USDT and USDC the closes before 1 October 2025 are the median of exchange closes instead, and a filled $1.0000 close is left out of the typical move and the largest move.
Stablecoins whose value rises by design, such as savings wrappers, are left out. Their price is a yield curve, not a peg.
Only USD stablecoins are compared. Other currencies are priced through a daily exchange rate fixed at a different time of day from the stablecoin's close. That gap shows up as the same false depeg on every stablecoin of the currency at once.

$5.7B of USDT is supplied to 152 lending markets on 28 protocols, 2.9% of its onchain supply. The median across the 41 USD stablecoins in lending markets is 4.0%.
At least this much USDT is supplied to lending markets DIA reads onchain, where it can be borrowed. The figure is gross: most of it is on loan, and a borrower can deposit borrowed USDT again, so the same money can count more than once. Coins posted only as isolated collateral (Morpho-style) are not counted. Maple's institutional credit pools are counted. Their supply rates and loans outstanding come from Maple's own API. Excludes DEX liquidity, CDP collateral, and chains or protocols DIA does not yet track.
Source: DIA's own reads of each lending contract. Balances, supply and borrow rates and utilisation all come from the same read. A market not refreshed in the last 3 days, holding under $1,000 of USDT, or pinned at full utilisation with runaway interest is left out.
Token balances are converted to USD at DIA's own price for USDT.
Both figures are averages across markets, weighted by how much USDT each market holds. A $1B market counts a thousand times more than a $1M one. Markets holding 100% of the balance report an APY.
Ranks and the median compare USDT with the 41 USD stablecoins that have a published lending balance on this map, each measured the same way. Coins with no balance in a market DIA reads are not in the median.

USDT is designed to be backed by cash and money-market assets.
Tether publishes two different kinds of document, and they carry different weight.
The quarterly attestation
The quarterly disclosure is an attestation prepared by BDO for Tether International, S.A. de C.V. The Q2 2026 report, as of 30 June 2026, states total assets of $187,751,426,411, total liabilities of $183,641,897,215, of which $183,622,105,630 relate to digital tokens issued, and assets exceeding liabilities by $4,109,529,196. Tether reported net operating profit of about $1.50 billion for the quarter, gold holdings above 146 tons after adding 14 tons, and a reduction in secured lending exposure of about $2.38 billion, or 15%.
For comparison, the Q3 2025 attestation reported $181.22 billion of reserves as of 30 September 2025.
The 2025 audit
On 13 August 2026 Tether announced that KPMG U.S. issued an unqualified audit opinion on the financial statements of Tether International, S.A. de C.V. for the year ended 31 December 2025, under US GAAP and AICPA standards, with reserves exceeding liabilities by $6.814 billion at that date.

Independent reserve attestations are published quarterly.
The reserve buffer
At 30 June 2026, assets exceeded liabilities by $4.11 billion against $183.62 billion of tokens issued, about 2.2%. That buffer fell from the $6.814 billion reported at 31 December 2025. A mark-down of a few percent on the reserve would consume it.
Assets that are not cash equivalents
At 30 June 2026 the BDO-assured reserves report listed $18.84 billion in gold (about 10% of reserves), $5.80 billion in bitcoin (about 3%) and $13.45 billion in secured loans (about 7%). Gold and bitcoin are price-volatile and neither is redeemable at par on demand.
Which entity owes the holder
Tether International, S.A. de C.V. issues and redeems USDT. Its Relevant Information Document says Tether's obligations exist only toward KYC-verified customers who buy and redeem through the Tether website, and that secondary market transactions are subject to the terms of the secondary market participants.
Supply spread across chains
USDT is issued natively on many chains through separate contracts. Supply on one chain does not carry the reserve claim of another by itself, and a bridged or wrapped representation is a claim on the bridge.

Tether International, S.A. de C.V., which is registered with El Salvador's CNAD as stablecoin issuer EME-0003. Tether's Relevant Information Document names it as the entity that issues and redeems USDT, and the quarterly reserve attestations and the audited 2025 financial statements report on the same company.
Yes, as of 2026. Tether announced on 13 August 2026 that KPMG U.S. issued an unqualified audit opinion on the financial statements of Tether International, S.A. de C.V. for the year ended 31 December 2025. The quarterly reserve reports remain attestations prepared by BDO, not audits.
A mixed reserve. The Q3 2025 attestation reported roughly $135 billion in direct and indirect US Treasuries, $12.9 billion in gold and $9.9 billion in bitcoin, with secured loans and other assets making up the rest.
At 30 June 2026 Tether reported total assets of $187.75 billion against $183.64 billion of liabilities, an excess of $4.11 billion, or about 2.2% of the $183.62 billion of tokens issued.
