Can USDT reach 10 dollars in 2026?
Benchmarks comparison
If USDT were to trade at 10 dollars, its total market capitalization would be $1.84T. Placing this value alongside the market caps of top assets allows us to determine if the scenario is mathematically feasible.
Very few assets have ever exceeded 10% of Bitcoin’s market cap. Ethereum reached approximately 30–35% during the 2017–2018 cycle and again surpassed 20% in 2021. XRP briefly crossed the 20% level in early 2018. Binance Coin, Solana, and Cardano each touched the 10–15% range for short periods during the 2021 cycle. Based on these rare historical cases, a mathematical conclusion can be drawn using Bitcoin’s current total market cap.
