USDT Minting

Definition

USDT minting refers to the creation of new Tether (USDT) tokens, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, by its issuer, Tether Limited. This process involves issuing new tokens into circulation, typically in response to new deposits of fiat currency or other collateral. Minting directly impacts the total supply of USDT and is a key indicator of demand for the stablecoin. Each new USDT token is purportedly backed by an equivalent amount of reserves.
