USDT Shows Resilience Amid October Liquidation

With all new highs, USDT’s growth showed signs of slowing because of the October 2025 liquidation event. As the report mentioned, “ The total crypto market cap declined more than ⅓ between 10 October 2025 and 1 February 2026, while USDT has grown 3.5% since then, compared to the second and third largest stablecoins declining by 2.6% and 57% respectively

As the report highlights, “continued growth in USDT comes from diverse use cases beyond the crypto market,” and stresses that USDT’s growth in market cap and usage came despite a major crypto liquidation event in October
