In a statement provided to Cointelegraph upon inquiry about Circle and potential actions by Tether, the company stated, “Tether tokens are issued on several blockchains, which are simply transport layers for such tokens.” The firm added, “Tether retains the ability to freeze transactions on each directly supported transport layer to accomplish its compliance duties. Nevertheless, Tether actively monitors the safety of each one of the supported transport layers to ensure the highest standards to our community.”

Tether, with a market capitalization of $97.7 billion, holds the position as the largest stablecoin, while Circle’s USD Coin trails behind at $28 billion, as per data from CoinGecko.

The Tron network hosts over 51.8 billion USDT, representing over half of the nearly 101 billion USDT tokens issued across various blockchains, according to Tether’s transparency report as of Feb. 21. Additionally, $76.2 million is allocated to provide near-term liquidity for the token on the Tron network.
