USDT Circulating Supply on Toncoin Crosses $500M in 2 months
The circulation of USDT stablecoins on The Open Network (TON) has exceeded 500 million, as reported by The Block’s USDT supply dashboard. Specifically, there were 519.28 million USDT stablecoins on the TON network as of the latest update.
This milestone comes approximately two months after Tether introduced the US dollar-backed stablecoin on TON, alongside its gold-backed stablecoin, XAUT.
“The demand for USDT-TON is rapidly increasing, which is unsurprising,” noted The Open Network in a statement via its official Telegram channel. “The ability to seamlessly send digital dollars globally, akin to sending a text message, showcases the practical utility of USDT-TON.”
Earlier this month, the total value locked in TON blockchain surpassed $600 million, marking a doubling from just three weeks prior. Presently, TON’s total value locked has exceeded $670 million, according to DefiLlama data.
