USDT has already increased its market share by more than 120 percent in 2020. As reported by U.Today, more tokens are being issued due to the growing demand for fiat-pegged cryptocurrencies caused by the coronavirus turmoil.

While many critics believe that Tether is trying to prop up Bitcoin with its issuances, recent research concluded that stablecoins are not able to inflate cryptocurrency prices.

At press time, the BTC price is sitting at $7,720 during a relatively calm day.
