Tether Mints $2 Billion USDT Before Bitcoin Breakout
According to Lookonchain, Tether minted another $2 billion USDT just one hour before Bitcoin surpassed its previous record. The mint took place on the Tron and Ethereum networks. In total, Tether has issued $15.7 billion USDT in 2025, including burns.
Historical patterns on Lookonchain indicate an ongoing trend. Between April 23 and May 7, $6 billion worth of USDT was minted by Tether. It was then soon after that Bitcoin broke above the $100,000 level following the three-month standstill. Another instance was May 15, when $2 billion worth of USDT was minted by Tether. It wasn’t too much later before Bitcoin hit the $105,000 level.
This latest $2 billion mint aligns with the ongoing trend. Market participants are now watching to see if this will propel Bitcoin beyond its newly set peak.
Bitcoin Hits New Record Above $109,000

Traders are closely watching on-chain activity and liquidity flows, especially from newly minted stablecoins. These events are often tracked for signs of increased market activity or exchange deposits.
Ongoing Trend Between USDT Mints and Bitcoin Price Rises
Throughout 2025, Tether’s minting history has frequently aligned with upward shifts in Bitcoin’s market value. Large-scale USDT creations have often preceded sharp gains in Bitcoin price within short timeframes.
The current mint, followed by Bitcoin’s record-setting move, continues this observable trend. Market participants are now evaluating if further mints will occur and whether this pattern will hold.
The connection between stablecoin issuance and Bitcoin momentum remains a key focus in market discussions.
