Tether's Market Cap Rises Despite Low Trading Volumes, Boosted by Growth on Tron Blockchain

Tether's market capitalization has almost reached its all-time high of $83.2 billion, according to CoinGecko data. However, Kaiko analysts have found that Tether's supply has increased without a corresponding increase in trading volumes. The report highlights a contrast with Circle's USDC stablecoin, which is primarily used as a trading pair.

Tether's market cap behavior remains an anomaly, with factors such as the discontinuation of Binance's BUSD stablecoin and USDC's de-pegging event in March potentially contributing to its growth. Another factor is Tether's growth on Tron, where it has a significant supply and is preferred by market makers and whales for its low transaction fees.

  • Nature: Scientists achieve continuous operation of 3000-qubit system

    paper published in Nature on September 15th showed an experimental architecture for continuous operation of high-speed reloading and large-scale atomic array systems by a research team from Harvard University and MIT, while achieving coherent storage and manipulation of quantum information. Researchers achieved the generation of over 30,000 initialized quantum bits per second using a light capture reloading rate of 300,000 atoms per second, assembling and maintaining an array containing over 3,000 atoms, with a continuous operation time of over two hours. Scientists involved in this research stated that this achievement lays the foundation for developing fault-tolerant quantum computers for large-scale continuous operation.
