Tether’s USDT stablecoin is facing its largest monthly decline since December 2022, with circulation dropping by $1.5 billion in February 2026. The contraction follows a smaller January reduction, reversing a prolonged growth streak tied to pro-crypto policies under the Trump administration’s return. This retreat marks the steepest pullback since the FTX collapse, signaling potential shifts in stablecoin demand or market sentiment. Data from Artemis Analytics tracks the decline, highlighting USDT’s rare contraction amid broader crypto market volatility. The trend raises questions about regulatory pressures, investor confidence, or macroeconomic factors influencing stablecoin liquidity.
