- The stablecoin segment is dominating with $315.49 billion in market cap.
- The USAT listing comes when the US Dollar has plunged to a near 4-year low.
BitMart, a digital asset exchange platform, has announced that it will list a trading pair of USAT. Deposits are available with trading scheduled to go live soon. The development comes at a time when the US Dollar has dropped to a near 4-year low. BitMart earlier listed a trading pair of KABOSU.
USAT on BitMart
BitMart has announced that it will use the USAT/USDT trading pair on its platform on January 28, 2026. It has initiated the deposit facility, and the trading function is scheduled to go live at 5:00 AM UTC on the said date. The withdrawal feature will be enabled on January 29, 2026, at 6:00 AM UTC. Its trading zone, per the announcement, is Potential/USD.
Issued by Tether in association with Anchorage Digital Bank N.A, USAT was launched in January 2026 specifically to comply with the GENIUS Act. The 1:1 US Dollar backed stablecoin is known to be supported by liquid reserves like Treasury Bills.
The announcement about the USAT listing comes hours after BitMart confirmed listing the KABOSU/USDT pair on the platform.
US Dollar Weakens
US President Donald Trump recently brushed off reports citing that the Dollar was getting weak. However, an article by Reuters underlines that the US Dollar reached near its 4-year low on Wednesday. The article further mentions that the dollar index has jumped by 0.22% to 96.114 in comparison to the previous session’s value of 95.566.
Kyle Rodda, a market analyst at Capital.com, interacted with the media and called it a crisis of confidence in the US Dollar, adding that the weakness could persist while the Trump administration sticks with its erratic trade, economic, and foreign policies. All attention is on the policy decision of the US Federal Reserve.
Dominance of Stablecoin Segment
The stablecoin segment, amid the new listing by BitMart and weakening of the US Dollar, has dropped by around 0.09% to $315.49 billion in market cap. The trading volume has surged by 8.63%. Tether’s USDT is still at the top with a market cap of approximately $186.15 billion. This has placed it in the 3rd position on the list of global cryptocurrencies.
Meanwhile, the stablecoin segment is witnessing a fresh contest from World Liberty Financial’s USD1. It just surpassed PayPal’s PYUSD to boost a market cap of $1.21 billion for the 24th position.

BitGo wins BaFIN nod to offer regulated crypto trading in Europe
BitGo’s move creates further competition in a burgeoning European crypto market that is expected to generate $26 billion revenue this year, according to one estimate. BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
