\n\u201cThis milestone not only reinforces the company\u2019s conservative reserve management strategy but also highlights Tether\u2019s growing role in distributing dollar-denominated liquidity at scale,\u201d wrote Tether in the report.\u00a0

\nTether\u2019s traditional reserve assets helped the stablecoin giant weather the downside volatility of the crypto market during the first quarter of 2025.
\nTether reported over $1 billion in operating profit from \u201ctraditional investments\u201d during the first quarter of the year, \u201cdriven by solid performance in its US Treasury portfolio, while the performance of Gold has almost offset the volatility in crypto markets,\u201d according to the firm\u2019s attestation report.
\nGrowing clarity around US stablecoin regulations could lead to more investments in Tether\u2019s dollar-denominated stablecoin, part of which will be used to further bolster the firm\u2019s Treasury reserves.
\nThe industry is currently awaiting progress on two pieces of legislation. The Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy (STABLE) Act currently awaits scheduling for debate and a floor vote in the House of Representatives, after it passed the House Financial Services Committee on April 2 in a 32-17 vote.
\nHowever, the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins, or GENIUS Act, stalled on May 8 after failing to gain support from key Democrats, some of whom voiced concerns about US President Donald Trump\u2019s potential financial interest in clearer crypto regulations, due to his family\u2019s digital asset ventures.
\nOn May 14, at least 60 of the top crypto founders gathered in Washington, DC, to support the GENUIS Act, which seeks to establish collateralization guidelines for stablecoin issuers and requires full compliance with Anti-Money Laundering laws.
