Tether has been making headlines for many reasons. However, this time, it is in the spotlight after the USDT volume on Ethereum surpassed $100 billion. It was previously reported that USDT is migrating to the Ethereum Network and had acquired significant space on the blockchain. This caused network clogging on the Ethereum blockchain as the migrations also facilitated transactions worth $417,000.

On 19 November, @glassnode revealed that the USDT on-chain volume surpassed $100 billion, a 6000% increase in 2019.

This supply jumped between 8 January and 10 January, with USDT_ETH reaching 58.62 million.

The report, at that time, reported of Omni still having an upper hand as it accounted for higher units of Tether than Ethereum.

On 19 November 2019, the supply of USDT_ETH stood at 2.02 billion, while the USDT supply was at 1.77 billion.
