The statement is strongly supported by a high volume of corroborating evidence. Multiple credible sources (The Defiant, DailyCoin, Cointelegraph, CryptoSlate, etc.) confirm that Tether has minted $2 billion in USDT on the Ethereum blockchain. The evidence indicates this is a recurring event, happening on several different dates. While a few sources mention similar mints on the Tron blockchain, these appear to be separate events and do not contradict the fact that large mints have also occurred on Ethereum.
