3 Top Trending Crypto to Watch as Tether Posts $10B+ Q3 Profits
Tether’s latest Q3 report shows profits north of $10 billion and a balance sheet exceeding $181 billion, and the firm is rolling out a commodities desk alongside expanded gold reserves. Those moves signal a strategic shift from issuing liquidity to becoming a broader financial platform that can reallocate substantial capital into new asset classes, a development likely to draw market attention and regulatory scrutiny.
Three tokens to watch: USDT for its ongoing role as a primary liquidity vehicle whose allocations could influence market stability; BTC for sensitivity to large stablecoin flows and macro hedging behavior; and XAUT (Tether Gold) as a barometer for demand in tokenized precious metals if Tether leans into commodities. Given Tether’s scale, even modest portfolio shifts may ripple across crypto markets, affecting collateral, leverage and safe-haven positioning.
