This article breaks down three concrete USDT events from Nov 14, 2025 — Tether's $1.5B commodity trade financing push, a $244M whale transfer to OKX, and a $15M USDT seizure by U.S. authorities — and explains how each development can affect USDT price, volume, and trader behavior.

Over the past week USDT held its $1 peg while daily volumes surged above $100B and Tether minted roughly $1B of new tokens, contributing to stablecoin supply hitting a record $305B. This article breaks down the on-chain volume, minting drivers, and near-term watch points for traders and institutions.

Last week USDT showed no peg stress or unusual volume shifts. Regulatory momentum in the U.S. and Tether’s planned USAT — a U.S.-compliant stablecoin — are the main developments that could reshape liquidity flows. Short-term stability remains, but compliance-driven product changes deserve close monitoring.
