Tether minted $4B USDT in eight days across Ethereum and Tron, boosting market dominance to 61% with rising liquidity demand.Despite USDT's growth, technical patterns signal a bearish trend with dominance projected to fall toward 3% by late 2026.Tether enters AI with “Tether AI,” enabling crypto-powered agents to autonomously execute on-chain payments and smart contracts.Tether has minted another $1 billion in USDT on Tron, boosting its total supply on the network to $71.4 billion. This marks the fourth major mint in just eight days. Since April 28, Tether has created $4 billion in new USDT across Ethereum and Tron. Ethereum still leads with $72.8 billion in USDT, but Tron is quickly closing the gap. This aggressive expansion reflects the growing demand for liquidity in the crypto ecosystem.Moreover, Tether now commands 61% of the stablecoin market. Its circulating supply has grown 8.6% year-to-date, showing continued user trust. Smaller networks like Solana, TON, Avalanche, Aptos, and NEAR host minimal USDT volumes in comparison. This further underscores Ethereum and Tron's dominance in stablecoin infrastructure.USDT Dominance Faces Bearish OutlookDespite Tether's expansion, technical indicators suggest a looming decline in USDT dominance. A descending triangle pattern has formed over the long term. This pattern combines lower highs and slightly higher lows. The chart shows six strong rejection points between 8.5% and 3.8% dominance levels. Each rejection follows a downward trajectory, reinforcing bearish sentiment.Source: Mister CryptoAdditionally, resistance levels at 6.27%, 5.77%, and 5.07% act as major price ceilings. These levels correspond with historical rejection zones. Gray arrows pointing downward suggest a consistent negative reaction at each resistance. The projection indicates dominance could drop toward 3% by late 2026. This setup hints at a potential bullish breakout for altcoins once USDT dominance collapses.Tether Enters AI with Crypto-Powered AgentsIn a bold pivot, Tether is now entering the artificial intelligence space. The company launched “Tether AI,” an open-source platform designed for decentralized AI operations. At its core, the platform includes a modular architecture called Personal Infinite Intelligence. This system runs independently of cloud providers, ensuring censorship resistance.Tether AI features a Wallet Developer Kit (WDK) that allows native Bitcoin and USDT integration. This makes it possible to embed crypto payments into AI agents. These agents can then pay for APIs, interact with smart contracts, and monetize services autonomously. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino aims to reshape AI with decentralized financial tools.The post Tether Expands USDT Minting and Reveals Bold AI Vision appears on Crypto Front News.
