Tether, a stablecoin backed by the US dollar, has reached a total of $19 billion in total market capitalization.

In other words, over $19 billion has been exchanged for Tether so far.

In the past hours, there was a sharp drop in the price of bitcoin, as the price of bitcoin collapsed from a high of $19,400 to below $17,000 in a short period of time, a drop of about $3,000.

With the decline in the price of bitcoin, the number of tether coins rose and the stablecoin made significant gains, as traders resort to the digital currency “tether” to avoid further losses.

According to the official Tether website, there are currently $19.1 billion in Tether in circulation, of course, each of which is pegged to the dollar.

according to CoinMarketCapTether’s overall market capitalization has boomed in recent months, despite negative market volatility elsewhere in the crypto industry, but Tether’s market capitalization has remained on a growing path.

Since August 31, 2020, Tether’s market capitalization has increased by nearly 90% from $10 billion to its current all-time high of nearly $19 billion.

During the month, Tether’s market capitalization increased from around $16.5 billion to $19 billion, which means it’s up 15%.

The recent rise in the total value of Tether distances it from its closest competitor, as Tether has become unique in order without a real competitor.

CoinGecko differs from CoinMarketCap and Tether as it reports that the total market value of Tether is around $17 billion.

Many theories hold that the increase in the market value of Tether is benefiting from the rise in the price of Bitcoin.

As the price of Bitcoin is increasing, more and more people are being drawn into the cryptocurrency arena, and with Tether serving as an intermediary link in the industry especially in China, the stablecoin has benefited from Bitcoin’s growth for several months.

Another reason for the growth in the overall market capitalization of Tether is that it benefited from the decentralized finance (DeFi) boom that occurred this summer.
