Tether has minted 1 billion USDT on the Ethereum blockchain, marking a significant increase in its stablecoin supply. This action comes as Tether continues to play a dominant role in the cryptocurrency market, with its stablecoin being used in 4 out of 5 crypto transactions. Tether's holding company earned $13 billion in 2024, double that of BlackRock, highlighting its financial strength. Additionally, 163 million USDT was transferred from the Tether Treasury to Bitfinex, further indicating active management of its reserves. Ronaldinho, the former Brazilian football star, has launched a new cryptocurrency token named STAR10 on the BNB Chain. The token aims to offer exclusive experiences and benefits to its holders, including signed collectibles and VIP access. However, the launch has been marred by concerns over insider trading and security vulnerabilities. Blockchain analytics have revealed that insiders linked to Ronaldinho made a profit of $5 million from early transactions, having bought 12.24% of the total supply for 80 BNB ($50,000) and sold a portion for 433 BNB ($270,000). The token's total supply is 1 billion, with 25% allocated to liquidity, 20% to Ronaldinho, 15% to the team, 15% to marketing, and 5% to centralized exchange listings. A 6-month lock-up period is in place for Ronaldinho and the team's holdings, followed by a 3-year gradual unlock. In a separate development, a crypto whale who placed a 50x leveraged long position on Bitcoin and Ethereum before President Trump's announcement of a Crypto Strategic Reserve has profited $6.8 million. The whale's strategic move highlights the volatility and potential for high returns in the crypto market, especially in response to significant policy announcements. The same whale later shorted Bitcoin, making an additional profit of approximately $300,000, and is now sitting on an unrealized profit of over $81 million from shorting Ethereum with 50x leverage. The FTX/Alameda estate wallets have received a substantial amount of Solana (SOL), totaling $430 million. This influx of SOL into the estate's wallets suggests ongoing activity related to the restructuring or liquidation of assets associated with the collapsed crypto exchange. Specifically, 3.03 million SOL were unstaked and distributed across 37 wallets, with one wallet receiving 892,800 SOL ($128 million) and 12 wallets each receiving over $10 million worth of SOL. Additionally, 24,799 SOL ($3.38 million) were deposited to Binance. Fidelity, a major financial institution, has purchased $100 million worth of Bitcoin, signaling continued institutional interest in the cryptocurrency despite market fluctuations. This move by Fidelity underscores the growing acceptance of Bitcoin as a legitimate asset class among traditional investors. In other market movements, 22 million dollars worth of Bitcoin was moved from wallets dormant for 14 years, with the earliest wallet receiving 50 BTC in February 2011, resulting in unrealized gains of over 8,310,400%. The current price of Bitcoin stands at $87,935. In related news, significant amounts of USDC were minted, totaling 50 million USDC on multiple occasions, contributing to a total of 9 billion USDC minted in 2025. A whale spent 1,000 ETH ($2.09 million) to buy 298.27 billion PEPE, now holding 1.062 trillion PEPE ($7.2 million) across two wallets. Another whale, known as '7 SIBLINGS', spent $10.36 million to buy 4,993 ETH at $2,075, currently holding over 1.157 million ETH ($2.4 billion) in two wallets. Large transfers of BTC and SOL were also recorded, including 632 BTC transferred from Coinbase Institutional to Coinbase, 892,770 SOL transferred to Coinbase Institutional, and 494,153 SOL transferred back and forth between unknown wallets and Coinbase Institutional.
