The price of Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has been positively impacted after the scheduled chain swap of 200 million USDT between Tether and Binance exchange was performed.

Some minutes ago, Tether (USDT) hinted at a chain swap that will take place a couple of minutes to the time it was announced.

This was passed across via its Twitter handle. Tether said in the report that it will coordinate with a third-party to perform a chain swap for 200 million USDT.

It added that the process will by no means change its total supply.

Tether shared this, “In half an hour Tether will coordinate with a 3rd party to perform a chain swap (conversion from Omni to ERC20 protocol) for 200M USDt. Tether total supply will not change during this process.”
