According to BlockBeats, Tether has released its latest Q3 report, revealing a net profit of $2.5 billion for the third quarter of 2024, bringing the total annual profit to $7.7 billion.

Additionally, the company's reserve assets include $5 billion worth of gold and $4.8 billion in Bitcoin (BTC).
One of the quarter's highlights is the record high circulation of Tether's stablecoin issuance, reaching nearly $120 billion.
