According to Lookonchain, Tether has minted another 1 billion USDT, as reported on intel.arkm.com. The last two instances of similar USDT minting events coincided with significant upward movements in BTC prices (source: Lookonchain Twitter, June 18, 2025). Traders are closely monitoring this large issuance, as increased USDT supply is often interpreted as a sign of incoming liquidity for the broader crypto market, with particular attention on potential BTC (Bitcoin) price reactions. This event may impact short-term trading strategies and spot market flows, especially for BTC/USD pairs.
