Tether to add 35 million users in Q4 2025... No issues even if crypto assets vanish
Tether to add 35 million users in Q4 2025... No issues even if crypto assets vanish
The cryptocurrency market experienced an unprecedented crash, losing one-third of its total market capitalization. In contrast, Tether (USDT) secured more than 35 million new users, proving its overwhelming dominance in the stablecoin market.
According to cryptocurrency-focused outlet CryptoPotato on February 8 (local time), Tether added approximately 35.2 million new users in the fourth quarter of 2025, bringing its total global user base to 534.5 million. It has maintained remarkable momentum by attracting more than 30 million new users per quarter for eight consecutive quarters, cutting through extreme market volatility. Even amid the downturn affecting the broader digital asset market, Tether’s issuance has continued to rise, reinforcing its position as a digital dollar.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino emphasized that the company’s growth extends beyond simple cryptocurrency trading and reflects its role as a core financial infrastructure. Ardoino stated that “the continued growth of USDT stems from diverse use cases beyond the crypto market,” adding that Tether achieved over $10 billion in net profit throughout 2025. Tether currently boasts a market capitalization of $187.3 billion, a stark contrast to rival stablecoins that declined by 2.6% and 57% respectively over the same period.
Tether’s reserve structure has become increasingly robust, with total assets reaching $192.9 billion, of which U.S. Treasury bonds account for the largest share at $141.6 billion. In addition, Tether holds 96,184 BTC and 127.5 tons of gold, securing stability through asset diversification. Even as Bitcoin prices fell to around $71,200 in late January, heightening market fear, Tether recorded 3.5% growth, functioning as a safe-haven asset.
Ardoino recently revealed that while investors have valued the company at over $500 billion and Tether is considering a $5 billion fundraising round, there is no urgency to proceed. The company already maintains ample operating capital from its existing profit structure and is focusing on strategic investments to expand infrastructure. The downturn in the crypto market has instead served as an opportunity for Tether to expand its user base and increase market share, positioning it as a new alternative to the traditional financial system.
Tether has now evolved beyond a simple stablecoin issuer to become a core pillar of the global financial settlement system, earning broad market trust. This achievement, realized despite severe market volatility, reflects its success in securing both asset stability and liquidity. Backed by transparent asset disclosures and a solid financial structure, Tether is expected to continue its unmatched trajectory while preparing for any potential future market shocks.
