<p>Together, these five blockchains control nearly 85% of the market. Ethereum stands out with a significant 60.17% share, while TRON, Solana, BNB Smart Chain, and Arbitrum One have much smaller shares at 9.96%, 6.00%, 5.39%, and 3.33%, respectively.</p> 
<p><strong>Tether’s Focus Shifts to USDT</strong></p> 
<p>Given the current landscape, Tether is now concentrating on the security and sustainability of its stablecoin, USDT. The company seems to be less concerned about launching a new blockchain and more focused on maintaining the stability of its existing offerings.</p>
