The market cap of USDT keeps rising. But this doesn't guarantee a rebound in the crypto market. A decline is still possible.


On April 26, Tether's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, announced on X that USDT's market cap reached $147 billion, setting a new record. 


As of this writing, USDT's market cap stands at $147.21 billion. It ranks 120th globally, surpassing companies like S&P Global Inc, Caterpillar Inc, and Tata Motors Ltd.

Despite USDT's growth, the total crypto market cap remains stagnant. It's even showing signs of decline. This suggests that funds are slowly exiting the market, making it hard for a rebound to last. If outflows continue, it could trigger a crash in the crypto market.
