#数字货币市场洞察 Latest data reveals an underestimated phenomenon: stablecoin issuers are quietly becoming core players in the US Treasury market.
According to statistics from July 2025, Tether alone holds about $127 billion in US Treasuries—enough to place it among the world’s top twenty holders. And if you include Circle’s holdings? Together, the two stablecoin giants collectively hold around $155 billion in short-term US Treasuries, accounting for nearly 2.5% of the total outstanding of such bonds.
This proportion may seem small, but it is highly significant. It means the boundaries between the crypto world and the traditional financial system are being broken down in a tangible way. Imagine this: if the stablecoin market continues to expand at its current pace, these issuers will inevitably become marginal price-setters for short-term Treasuries, thereby exerting an undeniable influence on global liquidity dynamics and interest rate trends.
Simply put, the cryptocurrency industry is no longer an isolated island. Through the channel of stablecoins, it has become deeply embedded in the operational mechanism of mainstream financial markets. This two-way integration will only become more pronounced as the scale increases.

Damn, Tether is holding $127 billion in US Treasuries? And they call that low-key?
---
So stablecoins are now players in traditional finance. No wonder central banks have been so nervous lately.
---
$155 billion in Treasuries is only 2.5%, doesn't sound like much, but the growth rate is insane.
---
"It's no longer an island" is a great way to put it, but here's the problem—who's going to regulate these guys?
---
I really don't get it, why does Tether hold so much US debt? Risk hedging?
---
Now this is interesting—stablecoin issuers have become price setters in the bond market, traditional finance must be shaking.
---
2.5% isn't much now, but what about when it hits 10%? Will the US even allow that?
---
Gotta say, Tether's move is impressive—quiet but making huge waves, that's the vibe.
---
The concept of marginal pricing power is so crucial—can crypto giants really impact interest rate trends?
---
Honestly, looking at these numbers makes me uneasy. It feels like the line between traditional finance and crypto is so blurry it's basically gone.

$127 billion held in stablecoins? Seriously, you need to look closely at that number. The idea of "marginal pricing power" sounds intimidating, but in reality, a 2.5% share has limited impact on short-term Treasury prices—don’t be misled by the hype. The real question is about capital flows—why are they suddenly building up large positions in U.S. Treasuries?

$127 billion, Tether is really quietly accumulating government bonds. Now crypto and traditional finance are truly inseparable.

Wait, does Tether directly hold US Treasuries? This is starting to feel a bit off. Is there really no boundary left between crypto and traditional finance?

Tether holds $127 billion in US Treasury bonds? Now they're really playing with Wall Street.
