40% of All Blockchain Fees Come from USDT Transactions
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino claims that 40% of all blockchain fees are generated by USDT transactions. He emphasized that hundreds of millions of users across Ethereum, Arbitrum, BSC, Solana, Polygon, TON, Avalanche, and Tron use the world’s most popular stablecoin daily.
“40% of all blockchain fees are charged for sending USDT. This applies to 9 networks: ETH, Tron, TON, Solana, BSC, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Polygon, and Optimism,” said Ardoino.
He stressed that the stablecoin helps protect families in developing economies from inflation and currency devaluation. He also stated that blockchains focused on “low gas fees” paid in USDT will “take over the world.”
Tether Won’t Go Public but Is Rapidly Expanding
Ardoino clarified that Tether has no plans to go public, even after its expansion into the U.S. market. Instead, the company will remain focused on developing markets, where it holds a competitive edge.
“We’ve been incredibly successful in developing regions for over ten years. We have the best technology and understanding of this space,” he added.
