SolCex has launched a USDT Savings product that offers 2.80% APR with flexible access to funds. According to the exchange, users can register at solcex.cc, complete verification, deposit USDT, and begin receiving earnings on a daily basis. Each account can hold up to 1,000,000 USDT, giving traders room to park sizeable balances without locking them for a fixed term.
The structure is straightforward. Users keep access to their capital while collecting yield, which makes the product more comparable to a flexible savings account than a fixed staking-style program. SolCex is presenting the launch as part of its push to expand exchange services and attract users looking for steady returns on stablecoin balances.
Tether shuts down CNH₮ minting
At the same time, Tether said it is winding down its offshore Chinese yuan stablecoin CNH₮. The company confirmed that no new CNH₮ tokens will be minted, citing low usage and operational inefficiency. The shutdown is being handled in two steps: minting has already stopped, and redemption support will remain available for one year before ending.
Tether asked holders to redeem early. The company said it regularly reviews its stablecoin lineup to check whether products still match real-world usage, long-term sustainability, and the needs of the communities using them. The move points to a narrower product focus, with weaker-demand offerings being phased out.
USDT supply slips below $184 billion while transfer volume climbs
As of February 18, USDT supply had fallen to below $184 billion, down about $1.5 billion this month alone. January also posted a modest decline, extending a gradual pullback in circulating supply. Even so, the broader stablecoin market grew from $302.9 billion last month to $304.6 billion.
USDC, issued by Circle Internet Group Inc., rose nearly 5% to $75.7 billion. On-chain transaction activity remained strong. Stablecoin transfers in 2025 jumped 72% to $33 trillion, with USDC handling $18.3 trillion and USDT processing $13.3 trillion. The dip in USDT supply has not changed the sector’s heavy use in large-volume payments and transfers.
Tether reports reserves above liabilities
In its Q4 2025 report, Tether said reserves stood at $181.2 billion against liabilities of $174.4 billion, leaving a surplus of more than $6.7 billion. That balance sheet snapshot remains central to the company’s case for financial stability at a time when it is trimming parts of its stablecoin lineup and USDT supply has edged lower.
