He speculates the uptick in USDT wallet activity likely reflects traders capitalizing on recent market volatility.“Possible causes include broader economic uncertainties, crypto-specific events like regulatory developments or post-election sentiment shifts, and Tether’s role as a stable haven, making it an ideal holding for investors preparing to deploy capital strategically,” Liu said.
