GENIUS Act spurred $1B USDT minting on Tron
Tron now hosts 51% of all USDT in circulation
Total USDT supply reaches $163 billion

After the GENIUS Act passed, the Tron blockchain witnessed an immediate and dramatic boost in its role within the stablecoin economy. Tether (USDT), the world’s largest stablecoin by market cap, saw $1 billion newly minted directly on the Tron network in response to the legislative development.

This surge has brought Tron’s total USDT holdings to $83 billion, accounting for roughly 51% of the entire $163 billion USDT supply. With this, Tron now officially surpasses other chains in hosting USDT, underlining its growing dominance in the stablecoin ecosystem.

What is the GENIUS Act and Why Does It Matter?

The GENIUS Act, recently passed in the U.S., is aimed at regulating and legitimizing the use of stablecoins like USDT. While specific details of the legislation are still unfolding, it has already had a tangible impact on blockchain ecosystems—particularly Tron.

The Act may have encouraged institutional confidence and opened the door for large-scale issuances, possibly explaining why $1 billion in new USDT was minted right after its passage.

Tron’s low fees and high-speed transactions make it an ideal choice for stablecoin transfers, which is likely why Tether chose it for this large-scale mint.

Tron’s Expanding Role in Crypto Finance

With over half of all USDT now circulating on Tron, the blockchain is cementing its place as a key infrastructure for digital finance. This shift could bring more developers, institutions, and DeFi projects to the Tron network, seeking faster and cheaper transactions.

In the broader picture, Tron’s share of USDT circulation is more than symbolic—it reflects growing trust and usage, especially in emerging markets and regions with high demand for stable digital currencies.

As stablecoins become increasingly central to crypto and traditional finance, Tron is now better positioned than ever to play a pivotal role.

After the 10-year US Treasury yield breaks back above the critical 5% mark, it is more likely to usher in a period of high-level tug-of-war and accelerated asset differentiation. Especially before energy shocks and the significantly eased large-scale expansion of the US fiscal deficit, the conditions to quickly replicate the sharp yield decline seen at the end of 2023 are not yet fully in place.

Anthropic's economics team has released an AI economic scenario model, centered around three scenarios: moderate and gradual growth, transformative changes with GDP doubling, and an extreme situation with 15% annual growth but massive job losses among knowledge workers. The model treats work as "bundles of tasks" and analyzes AI’s enhancement and substitution effects on different types of tasks. Anthropic emphasizes that the economic outlook for 2030 is not predetermined; the key lies in how the dividends from AI are widely shared.

"New Federal Reserve News Agency": Waller's Rate Hike "Has No Way Back", Trump's "Trust" Faces Test

Nick Timiraos believes that after the higher-than-expected August CPI, the probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates this week has surged, while Waller’s hawkish stance on inflation has left himself almost "no leeway." With seven weeks before the election, whether or not Waller raises rates will directly test how long Trump's “trust” in him can last. Previously, Waller maintained a balance between the White House and the Federal Reserve by “talking less and avoiding provocation,” but after this meeting, silence will no longer serve as his shield.
