Tether: USDT is used by 330 million users

As of the end of the third quarter of 2024, the USDT stablecoin is used by 330 million cryptocurrency wallets and on-chain accounts. This was announced by its issuer Tether.

The company compared the figure with the US population and emphasized that the final result does not include USDT users on centralized Bitcoin exchanges. The latter are valued at several tens of millions more in Tether.
