According to @twitter source, HTX executed a $500 million USDT transfer from Ethereum to Tether and subsequently received the same amount on the TRON network (source: @twitter). This cross-chain movement means the funds will not be re-entering Aave’s lending pools on Ethereum in the short term, which could sustain higher USDT interest rates for arbitrage traders on DeFi platforms (source: @twitter). Traders should monitor USDT yield fluctuations and cross-chain liquidity shifts as these transitions may affect DeFi market opportunities and stablecoin lending rates.
