Tether delivered ~$1.5B in net operating profit for Q2 2026 while total issued USDT reached 184.6B and excess reserves stood at 4.1B, according to the quarterly attestation released 31 July. User base expanded to a fresh 650M+ record, driven by demand across emerging markets during ongoing geopolitical stress. The results underscore Tether's liquidity buffer and scale in serving global stablecoin demand, separate from overheated AI valuations elsewhere in finance. USDT market growth, stablecoin reserves analysis and crypto financial inclusion metrics all advanced sharply in the period.
