ATH$0.005856-1.04%

Largest stablecoin Tether has hit an All-time High (ATH) on its circulating supply. The dollar-pegged stablecoin USDT recorded expansion to a record $187.3 billion in market capitalization in Q4, 2025. This is notable, given the bearish conditions in the broader crypto market following October’s liquidation season. There are questions about further unpegging.

Tether Records Multiple Milestones

The growing number of stablecoins from competitors has not been able to displace the coin. The broader crypto market experienced a major liquidation event on Oct. 10, triggered by the conversations around the US-China tariff war.

Upon this event, the market cap of Circle’s USDC, the second-largest stablecoin, saw some fluctuations in the rest of Q4. It later closed the period unchanged to a large extent. Also, Ethena’s synthetic dollar USDe, which secured the third position among stablecoins on CoinMarketCap, saw a 57% drawdown.

While its rivals struggled, the average number of monthly active USDt wallets spiked to 24.8 million. This represents 70% of all wallets holding stablecoins, while quarterly transfer volume jumped as high as $4.4 trillion. The number of onchain transfers increased to 2.2 billion.

Tether’s total reserves stood at $192.9 billion by the close of Q4 2025. This was a notable increase, considering that it was just $11.7 billion from the previous quarter. Net equity recorded was around $6.3 billion.

USDT Unpegging Raises Questions

Amid these interesting reports, USDT is at risk of unpegging from $1. It recently went to $0.9980, marking its weakest peg in more than 5 years.

On this basis, some analysts are beginning to believe that a full untethering could hit soon. Should this be the case, it could impact negatively on the broader crypto market. The extent of the potential downtrend is tied to the more than 87% of trading volume that flows through USDT.

Meanwhile, USDT was officially recognized in Q4 2025 as an Accepted Fiat-Referenced Token (AFRT) by the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). This meant that the stablecoin is officially available for use on multiple blockchains, including Aptos, Celo, Cosmos, Kaia, Near, Polkadot, Tezos, TON, and TRON.

Pictures Key Facts “One Battle After Another” boasts a nearly perfect 97 out of a possible 100 on Metacritic based on its first 31 reviews, making it the highest-rated movie of this decade on Metacritic’s best movies of all time list. The movie also has a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes based on the first 56 reviews, with only two reviews considered “rotten,” or negative. The Associated Press hailed the movie as “an American masterpiece,” noting the movie touches on topical political themes and depicts a society where “gun violence, white power and immigrant deportations recur in an ongoing dance, both farcical and tragic.” The movie stars DiCaprio as an ex-revolutionary who reunites with former accomplices to rescue his 16-year-old daughter when she goes missing, and Anderson has said the movie was inspired by the 1990 novel, “Vineland.” Most critics have described the movie as an action thriller with notable chase scenes, which jumps in time from DiCaprio’s character’s early days with fictional revolutionary group, the French 75, to about 15 years later, when he is pursued by foe and military leader Captain Steven Lockjaw, played by Sean Penn. The Warner Bros.-produced film was made on a big budget, estimated to be between $130 million and $175 million, and co-stars Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall and Teyana Taylor.
