The announcement of Binance – the largest trading platform in the world – might have also played a role. Binance recently announced that it would no longer accept USDT deposits carrying an Omni-based address. The exchange said it would only accept ERC20-based USDT on its trading platform.

Other networks have a very little amount of USDT coins on their platforms.

On the 16th of last month, Tether Treasury puffed in a significant change when they burned 400 million Omni-based USDT tokens and brought back the same amount on the blockchain of Ethereum after a short period of time. For some days now, Tether has been minting on the ETH network.
