Tether Mints $1B USDT on Ethereum — Monitor Liquidity Flows

I note that the Tether Treasury has minted $1 billion USDT on Ethereum. This is a sizable issuance but not automatically bullish or bearish for crypto prices.

I see it primarily as a liquidity event: the market impact depends on whether the new USDT is routed to exchanges (potential sell pressure) or held/used OTC and in DeFi (neutral or supportive for trading activity).

For now I remain neutral and prefer to monitor on-chain movements and exchange balances before taking a trading stance.
