Tether Claims USDT Is the Most Decentralized Stablecoin as Data Shows 4.97% Top Sender Share

On 15 March 2026, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino highlighted data suggesting USDT's largest single sender represents just 4.97% of total send volume, compared with 23.34% for rival stablecoins. He linked this distribution to more than 550 million users across emerging markets, particularly in Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa, and pointed to the early 2026 launch of USAT under the GENIUS Act as Tether moves to compete for U.S. institutional adoption.
