Just months after its previous major mint event, Tether has once again minted a significant amount of tokens, likely in anticipation of increased demand. A recent move suggests Tether is preparing for a new wave of liquidity. On Monday, June 9, Tether minted $1 billion USDT on the Tron (TRX) blockchain, according to several blockchain analysts. This represents a sizable liquidity injection, even for the world’s largest stablecoin. Notably, the $1 billion mint accounts for more than 1% of all USDT supply on Tron, the blockchain that hosts the majority of USDT tokens. Currently, USDT supply on Tron stands at $76 billion, followed by Ethereum (ETH) with $63.2 billion. Tether’s total circulating supply is 156 billion.

Historically, the stablecoin issuer mints USDT in anticipation of future demand for liquidity. While the freshly minted tokens have not yet entered circulation, their creation suggests that Tether expects rising demand and increased trading volume in the near term. This behavior has led to a recurring pattern: USDT issuance often coincides with bullish momentum across the crypto market. Tether’s last major mint occurred on May 21, when it issued 2 billion USDT on Tron. Just one day later, Bitcoin rose to its all-time high of $111,000.

Notably, analyst Jon Ma estimated that a Tether IPO would value the company at $515 billion. However, CEO Paolo Ardoino dismissed the idea, stating there is no need for the company to go public. Still, listing publicly would bring greater financial transparency—an area where Tether has faced longstanding criticism. Most recently, proposed U.S. stablecoin regulation has raised concerns that Tether could be pushed out of the market unless it adjusts its approach to disclosures.

Blockchain networks are bleeding casual users, with four out of five low-engagement accounts going inactive within three months, a Flipside study reveals. A recent study reveals a hard truth about blockchain ecosystems: most users lose interest quickly. Data from Flipside, which analyzed user behavior across networks such as Solana, Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Avalanche, shows that user retention is extremely low. The majority of users disappear within months unless they were already highly active from the start. Flipside took a hard look at how wallets behave over time. They sorted users into three categories: low-value (scores 0-3), medium-value (4-7), and high-value (8+), based on how much activity they’d had on-chain before. Then, they checked each group every month for half a year, tracking how many were still active. The retention cliff The data shows a clear pattern: the first month is brutal. Low-value users — wallets with little or no previous activity — dropped off almost immediately. Per the report, consistently show the “lowest retention, falling below 5% after 6 months.” In plain terms: 95 out of every 100 of these wallets are gone in half a year. The 6-month retention rates across blockchains, segmented by score bucket | Source: Flipside Medium-value users — regular but not power users — fare better but still drop sharply early on before stabilizingm while high-value users decline slowly, losing just 5-8% of their numbers each month. Some blockchains hold onto users better than others. For instance, Ethereum and Avalanche have the strongest retention for high-value addresses, keeping 35-38% active after six months. Solana, despite its size, lags behind, though details behind this gap remain unclear. Newer chains tend to have the steepest drop-offs, suggesting that early growth numbers might be misleading. The metric trap The report points out a common problem in crypto: chains chase big user numbers, but most of those “users” don’t last. Many are just passing through: airdrop hunters, speculators, or bots. The data makes it clear, real, sustained activity comes from a small fraction of addresses. “If we zoom in on the retention charts, you can see it extremely clearly: only a handful of addresses are contributing any sustained activity or liquidity volume across the major chains studied.” Flipside You might also like:‘AI will accelerate blockchain adoption:’ Interview with Pantera Capital’s Cosmo Jiang This creates a dilemma: as blockchains want to show rapid adoption, they focus on inflating user counts. But if most of those users disappear, the growth isn’t real. The report argues that protocols would be better off targeting high-quality users from the start, even if that means slower headline growth. Retention curves across all analyzed blockchains | Source: Flipside Flipside’s research recommends that blockchain networks shift their focus away from low-value users. Incentives for one-time actions may boost short-term metrics, but they fail to build long-term engagement. “It’s a hard pill to swallow, but the protocols that embrace this reality will outperform those that waste their incentives on addresses that won’t adopt them. The data clearly indicates that focusing on quality user acquisition and retention — rather than inflating address counts — represents the most sustainable path to ecosystem growth.” Flipside The report suggests that blockchain developers may want to consider putting more thought into designing tokenomics and reward systems that encourage longer-term participation. While short-term incentives can help drive initial activity, they often don’t lead to meaningful engagement over time. According to the data, it seems more effective to create mechanisms that reward consistent involvement, which could help build a more stable and active user base. Prioritizing sustained interaction, rather than one-off actions, might offer a better path toward long-term growth.

Disclosure: The views and opinions expressed here belong solely to the author and do not represent the views and opinions of crypto.news’ editorial. Crypto in the United States is entering a new era as policymakers across the federal and state levels consider strategic Bitcoin (BTC) reserves and a legislative framework that brings clarity to the industry after years of uncertainty. You might also like:The focus is on strengthening US leadership in crypto tech | Opinion In the last weeks alone, President Trump announced the establishment of a national Bitcoin reserve under executive action, while U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis introduced legislation proposing the creation of a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve through Congress. If passed, it would reinforce Bitcoin’s significance in financial markets and create long-term confidence among miners and investors. For Bitcoin mining, this shift represents a crucial opportunity because clear and consistent regulations can support innovation, attract investment in the sector, and promote sustainable growth. By creating a framework that balances accountability with opportunity, the US can solidify its position as a global leader and ensure that both the Bitcoin mining and energy sectors thrive. During this regulatory renaissance, Bitcoin has remained central to the discussion because it’s the foundation of the crypto ecosystem. But as the only major asset that utilizes proof-of-work, Bitcoin’s mining infrastructure is what keeps the whole industry grounded. Supporting miners with regulatory clarity is essential for the long-term viability of the space. Historically, miners have operated under an unclear mix of state and federal regulations, but Washington is now taking a more deliberate approach and pivoting toward more structured oversight and collaboration. A bill modeled around the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21) is already in the works, aiming to end regulatory uncertainty and clearly define the roles of the SEC and CFTC. By replacing reactive regulation with a structured framework, FIT21 (or a future, updated version) has the potential to provide much-needed stability and will help the industry grow with confidence. Bills like the Lummis-Gillibrand Payment Stablecoin Act and Senator Hagerty’s GENIUS Act represent an important step toward integrating stablecoins into the financial system. This bill could increase liquidity in crypto markets, encourage institutional investment, and reinforce Bitcoin’s role as the reserve asset of the digital economy. You might also like:What happens on day one after the GENIUS Act passes? | Opinion However, it’s crucial that lawmakers differentiate Bitcoin from other digital assets—many of which lack its resilience and long-term viability. Thoughtful regulation should prioritize the foundational importance of Bitcoin and ensure that mining operations are given the clarity and incentives needed to continue strengthening the network. Similar to past emerging industries like ridesharing, states are leading the charge by example. While federal policies are still being developed, many individual states have already embraced Bitcoin mining as a driver of energy innovation and economic development. Fifteen US states, including Texas, Alabama, Arizona, and Florida, have introduced legislative proposals to create Bitcoin strategic reserves, recognizing its long-term potential as a financial asset. Not all of them will pass, but the activity is encouraging. In Arizona and Utah, legislation is already moving through approval channels, potentially setting a precedent for Bitcoin’s role in state financial strategies. Recognizing Bitcoin as a legitimate reserve asset alongside gold and other state-held reserves would be a significant moment for institutional adoption. Public-private partnerships are also playing a crucial role at the state level. In Texas, Bitcoin miners are working with the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) to stabilize the power grid, adjusting their energy consumption based on supply and demand. Collaborations like this show how mining can be an asset to the energy sector and contribute to energy resilience nationwide. In Arkansas, local governments are prohibited from treating Bitcoin miners differently from traditional data centers. Montana passed a similar bill to protect miners from government interference and explicitly said that the industry “provides positive economic value” to local communities. These efforts reflect a growing recognition of Bitcoin mining’s role in economic growth, encouraging further investment and long-term development. The economic benefits of Bitcoin mining are tangible in communities across the country. Thanks to mining operations, rural towns that have struggled with job creation are experiencing new investment and infrastructure development. With the right regulatory approach, this economic revitalization can continue, ensuring that mining remains a net positive for local communities while maintaining a responsible approach to energy use. The next few years will define the future of Bitcoin in the US. With a strong energy infrastructure, increasing regulatory clarity, and a commitment to sustainable growth, America has a generational opportunity to lead. Lawmakers now have the opportunity to craft policies that foster innovation rather than stifle it. By prioritizing Bitcoin’s foundational role and ensuring mining flourishes, the US will secure its place at the forefront of the global crypto economy.
