According to @paoloardoino, 181B USDT was posted, highlighting the current scale of Tether’s stablecoin float (source: Paolo Ardoino on X, Oct 16, 2025). Traders commonly use changes in stablecoin supply as a proxy for crypto buying power via Glassnode’s Stablecoin Supply Ratio metric (source: Glassnode, Stablecoin Supply Ratio documentation). USDT is the dominant quote asset on centralized exchanges, linking its float to spot and perpetual market liquidity for BTC and ETH (source: Kaiko market structure research). Near term, watch USDT-quoted order book depth, stablecoin dominance, and BTC/ETH funding and basis for potential liquidity spillovers (source: Kaiko order book and derivatives analytics).
