Tether Will Flip Ethereum This Year, According to Samson Mow

Tether (USDT), the leading stablecoin, has reached a historic milestone with its market capitalization surpassing $150 billion, according to live market data.

The achievement marks another step in its rapid growth, as illustrated in a viral post by Paolo Ardoino, CTO of Tether, celebrating the $150B threshold with a symbolic image showing Tethers relentless progression.

Notably, Tether is now just behind Ethereum in market cap, which currently stands at approximately $308.5 billion. Despite the gap, speculation is mounting about a potential “flippening”—a scenario in which Tether overtakes Ethereum to become the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Industry veteran Samson Mow doubled down on his earlier prediction, stating: “Tether will flip Ethereum this year.”

While Ethereum has experienced a robust 44.41% gain over the past week, bringing its price to $2,554.94, Tethers stability and unmatched liquidity continue to make it a backbone of crypto trading and DeFi transactions.

The conversation around Tethers rise is intensifying, particularly given its pivotal role in market liquidity, and its ability to absorb inflows during volatile periods. If Tether maintains its growth trajectory and Ethereum faces any market corrections or slower adoption, a flippening could become more than just speculation—it could be a historic reshaping of the crypto hierarchy.
