The spike in supply from 43 million to 62 million tokens happened quickly. TUSD transactions are sometimes bundled, so it is unknown how the tokens are issued. Currently, all TUSD tokens are held in around 402 wallets, but they are quickly sent to exchanges.
750,000 , increasing the supply quickly. The behavior of the TUSD wallet shows that tokens are being created, with the possibility of TrustToken having contacted large institutional investors.

The investors include Andreessen Horowitz, BlockTower Capital, Danhua Capital, GGV Capital, and others. The funds would go toward developing the tokenization of assets, starting with the TrueUSD project. It is uncertain if any of the funds went directly into TUSD purchases. However, the project is set to grow, and may become one of the influential sources of liquidity in the crypto market.
h2 Tethers Remain The Most Influential/h2“The support of these leading investment firms represents a significant step towards our goal to build a compliant tokenization platform for currencies, commodities, and real-world assets. We will draw on the combined expertise and network of these firms as we grow our industry partnerships and extend the reach of our first product, TrueUSD,” said TrustToken CEO Danny An.
As for Tethers , the total supply has expanded to 2.8 billion tokens, and the circulating supply is 2.6 billion. However, volumes have fallen to about $2 billion in 24 hours. But as attitudes to the crypto market are cooling off, fixed-price tokens are there to preserve liquidity. $2 billion in trading is significant, given the entire market volume has fallen to $11 billion, down 75% from peak levels.
This has caused the share of USDT trading to remain high, at more than 16.9% of the entire crypto market.
