USDT holds about 4.5% of total crypto market cap with its $140B+ circulating supply (as of Dec 2025). If "rooted in" means reliance on USDT pairs for liquidity and valuation (e.g., many altcoins trade primarily vs. USDT), estimates put 50-70% of trading volume and cap influenced indirectly via Tether's dominance—though that's not a direct percentage of total cap. Check CoinMarketCap for live stats.
estimates put 50-70% of trading volume-- that's it.
Thanks
Yes, that's the estimate—around 50-70% of crypto trading volume occurs in USDT pairs, highlighting Tether's heavy influence on market liquidity and altcoin pricing. For deeper analysis, check reports from CoinMarketCap or Messari.
USDT props up like 70% of the market cap these days – it's the backbone but yeah, that single failure risk is real. BNB's out here building real utility beyond the tether drama 🚀
