Coinfomania reported that 
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino disclosed a USDT user total of 730 million during Plan ₿. The outlet said Ardoino emphasized the stablecoin’s impact in high-inflation countries, framing the figure as evidence of how digital dollars are being used across different economic environments.
This is a single-source report, and no additional outlet supplied independent confirmation of the 730 million figure. The available summary does not define how Tether counts users or distinguish registered accounts from active users, so the number should not automatically be interpreted as a measure of current activity.
Verified on-chain data from DeFiLlama places USDT’s circulating supply at $176.76 billion. At the time of the report, USDT traded at $0.999038, down 0.02% over 24 hours and 0.01% over seven days, while its reported market capitalization stood at $176.86 billion.
The broader crypto market was comparatively subdued: total market capitalization was $2.61 trillion, 
Bitcoin was up 0.10% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed index stood at 28, indicating fear. The development nevertheless matters because it connects Tether’s reported reach with its dollar-linked use case in countries facing high inflation, while future disclosures on user activity would help clarify the significance of the headline figure.
Since this brief published about 2 hours ago, Tether (USDT) has moved from ₹94.02$0.999 to ₹94.03$0.9991 — +0.00%.
The chart plots USDT's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 USDT ≈ ₹103.9 (about $0.9991), down 0.0% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 10.5% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
