- Tether USDt traded at $0.9990 on the accessed Investing.com quote page, with a reported market capitalization of $175.67 billion.
- Tether's third-quarter 2026 attestation reported $191.5 billion in reserve assets against $183.5 billion in liabilities as of September 30.
- The issuer reported a $7.95 billion excess-reserve buffer and $132.4 billion in direct and indirect U.S. Treasury bill holdings.
Tether USDt price remained close to its one-dollar target on November 13, as the stablecoin's reserve position provided the main market context. The accessed Investing.com quote page showed USDT at $0.9990, with a reported daily range of $0.9988 to $0.9992. The page listed a market capitalization of $175.67 billion, 24-hour volume of $55.63 billion, and a circulating supply of 175.88 billion USDT.
Reserve cushion is the key backdrop
Tether's latest reported reserve figures date to September 30, 2026, rather than to the November 13 publication date. In its third-quarter attestation announcement, Tether said total reserve assets were $191.5 billion and total liabilities were $183.5 billion. The company reported that assets exceeded liabilities by $7.95 billion.
The same report said USDt issuance stood broadly at $184 billion through the first three quarters of 2026. Direct and indirect holdings of U.S. Treasury bills totaled $132.4 billion, while Treasury bills and reverse repurchase agreements generated most of the company's reported income. Tether said net operating profit reached $1.5 billion in the third quarter and $4.5 billion across the first three quarters.
Audit progress adds transparency context
In a separate report, The Block reported on November 12 that KPMG U.S. had issued an unqualified opinion on the 2025 financial statements of TG Commodities, the issuer of Tether Gold. The report also said KPMG had already audited Tether International's 2025 accounts, following the issuer's first full financial audit for USDT announced in August. That development is relevant to the broader transparency discussion, although it does not change the September 30 reserve figures cited above.
What the price indicates for investors
The near-dollar quote is consistent with USDT's role as a stablecoin rather than a conventional growth asset. Its investment relevance lies primarily in liquidity, redemption confidence, reserve composition, and access across crypto markets. The reported buffer offers an additional layer of protection in Tether's own figures, but the figures are historical and do not by themselves establish future market conditions or redemption outcomes.
