USDT

No-Contribution9918

I'd cut my loses already. Cardano is one of the most disappointing blockchains in all of crypto, especially given its current marketcap (and its previous ATH placing it at #3). It promised a lot, and delivered little to nothing. It's slow, expensive, low volume, low revenue, low usage, no native USDC/USDT, I could go on.

BoringPrinciple2542

It’s not exactly hyperbole but it’s definitely warping the facts. CBDCs are the only feasible way to end digital counterfeiting by stablecoin issuers. They can be misused but so can every other form of crypto. I mean it’s really not hard for any 1st/2nd world country to identify every one of your wallets (even with privacy coins), freeze every CEX account you have, and blacklist you from crypto cards like the ones issued by Visa. So effectively the control argument is moot. The real anger here is people who lack critical thinking skills who regurgitate what they hear from the influencers who think for them. Those people in turn are controlling the narrative so that institutions like USDD, USDT, TUSD, etc which produce billions in profit while contributing to inflation of the USD by running unregulated money printers.

Altruistic-Raise-579

Stable in name but not in essence, USDT represents a fragile illusion. Bitcoin is the immutable ledger, the real hedge, and the true anchor of the decentralized financial world.

Round-Writer-8762

Gradually buy USDT where it's cheap and accessible and gradually swap into Bitcoin, which can be done non-kyc, if you prefer. But every large buy/sell is better off being done gradually.

The process is about the same: you send Euros to them from Revolut or any other bank and you can then trade the Euros from Binance account against any crypto they are paired with. If there isn’t a direct pair, an additional step is needed, to buy USDC first, as they replaced USDT with USDC these days for the users in the EU.

What country do you live in? In the US you would pay income tax on the funds, but no capital gains tax. Particularly since USDT is pegged to $1 gains are essentially impossible. But even if you were paid in ETH, if you sell it as soon as you have it, you have no gains or losses.

Screenshot from Arkham’s alert: (Imagine the typical Arkham screenshot here showing the transaction from the Tether Treasury – $1B USDT minted at zero fees on TRON) This is one of the routine but massive mints we’ve seen throughout 2025. For context: • USDT circulating supply is now hovering around 190 billion (per CoinGecko and Tether transparency data). • Tron has become the go-to chain for these big issuances thanks to near-zero fees. • These mints are typically “authorized but not issued” – meaning they’re for inventory replenishment based on real fiat deposits, and the tokens get deployed when exchanges/institutions need them. Historically, big USDT mints like this have been a bullish liquidity signal. Fresh stablecoins often flow to exchanges, fueling trading, DeFi, or year-end positioning. We’ve seen patterns where BTC and alts get a boost shortly after (though not always immediate – depends on where the USDT actually lands). With markets thin over the holidays and BTC consolidating, this could be dry powder for some action heading into 2026. Or just normal operations in a growing stablecoin ecosystem. What do you think? • Bullish precursor? 🚀 • Just business as usual? 🤷‍♂️ • Still skeptical on Tether reserves/transparency? (Fair, attestations are quarterly but full audits remain a debate) Sources: • Arkham Intelligence alert • CoinGecko USDT page (confirms recent mint and supply) • On-chain trackers like Whale Alert/Lookonchain Discuss below!

**Stop calling it "safe." Holding stablecoins is a guaranteed loss.** We have been conditioned to believe that lack of volatility equals stability. It’s the greatest financial illusion of our time. When you hold USDT or USDC, you feel safe because $1 always equals $1. But the ship you are tethered to—the US Dollar—is sinking. Holding stablecoins is signing up for a guaranteed 3% to 5% loss of purchasing power every single year due to monetary debasement. That is not stability; it is a slow-motion crash. **Bitcoin is different. Yes, it’s volatile. It’s a lifeboat rocking violently in a storm. It looks scary.** But ask yourself: Would you rather be comfortably seated on a sinking ocean liner, or seasick in the only lifeboat that is actually floating on the rising tide of global liquidity? **True stability isn’t a fixed price. It’s fixed supply.** It's time to rethink what "safe" means.

It’s just another market like gold or crude oil at this point. I don’t think it really affects the dollar. The more interesting question is how stables affect the dollar, as USDC and USDT circulate widely around the world.

Post is by: Sufficient_Fuel5269 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1pzqqto/1_billion_usdt/ Tether has just issued this amount, significantly increasing the supply of this stablecoin. These tokens are backed 1:1 by reserves in Tether's treasury. The creation of such a large amount of USDT can increase market liquidity, facilitating more transactions and potentially influencing market movements. Some analysts speculate that this new capital could be used to buy Bitcoin or other large-cap cryptocurrencies, which could boost their prices. However, if the funds are not used immediately, the impact on price could be limited in the short term. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

USDT has almost nothing to do with BTC and its price.

USDT running a .998 handle... USDC has been trading at a premium to USDT for some weeks now. Think CRCL a good bet and if USDT becomes impaired I really think we'll see BTC closer to $40k for a brief period before USDC fills the void and we slowly climb back in 2H 2026 into 2027.

Korea’s market is still weirdly unique: even now, majors like BTC, ETH, XRP, and sometimes USDT can trade about 1–2% higher on Korean exchanges than on global exchanges — the “Kimchi Premium.” On paper it looks like easy arbitrage. In reality, as a Korean resident it feels almost impossible to capture consistently because of: - Fiat/banking rails and transfer limits - Fees + slippage + timing risk - The friction of moving funds between Korea and offshore exchanges The hype around Kimchi Premium arbitrage is way smaller than it used to be, but I still see these small spreads and I’m trying to figure out what’s actually doable today. Quick questions (trying to keep this practical + legit): 1) For someone living in Korea, what arbitrage setups (if any) still work in 2025? 2) Is there a realistic way to capture a 1–2% spread after all fees/limits, or is it basically noise now? 3) What “arb-adjacent” strategies make more sense today? (e.g., funding/derivatives basis, transfer-routing, exchange-specific inefficiencies) 4) If you’ve done it: what broke first — banking limits, fees, execution speed, or something else? 5) What’s the minimum capital/volume where this stops being a waste of time?

I’d make sure you have a non-custodial wallet ready first. Something like Gem Wallet is fine, you generate a seed, get a BTC or USDT address, and send that to him. Once he buys on Coinbase/Kraken, he can withdraw straight to that address instead of leaving it on the exchange

Whatever you use, he’ll still have to clear card/bank checks, so “no holds at all” is tough. Easiest is: reputable US exchange → buy BTC/USDT then send to your wallet then you cash out locally. hope tht helps

Nano is a pure payment coin, almost a decade old, that did less than 600k in volume today while USDT alone did almost 41 *billion.* Pure payment coins are toast and it will never be a store-of-value like BTC. The only thing its done in the last 8 years is bleed to BTC.

My suggestion: Buy USDT and wait for Bitcoin to drop before gradually exchanging your USDT for Bitcoin. This will reduce your anxiety about Bitcoin fluctuations. Websites like SideSwap allow you to exchange USDT for Bitcoin. I also suggest reading the book: Bitcoin - The Money Revolution, published by the community www.bitcoinsolidario.org. Essential reading for anyone who wants to delve deeper into Bitcoin.

Globally, people should stay away from CEX and move to non-custodial OTC & DEX solutions... - For on & off ramping FIAT to USDT/USDC & vice-versa, one may use r/USDTexchange or r/USDCexchange sub. - For futures/perps trading, one may use **HyperLiquid/Lighter/Aster/EdgeX** (just Google these terms). *p.s. No one should fall for the KYC trap or use any Custodial Exchange/Wallet.

Too much volume in USDT for this to happen

Plenty_Dog_5684

I’m not entirely sure if you understand how the loan works so I’ll put it simply. You never get “loaned” money in the tradition sense, you don’t have access to your bitcoin collateral. You put say $1000 of Bitcoin, and get $750 of USDT with a high interest rate. It can be useful if you need cash that you know you can pay back, without having to rebuy your bitcoin at a higher price.

I’ve never used it, most of the time it has an extremely high LTV rate, plus a high interest rate. Plus I don’t do KYC and you get the loan in USDT which I can’t cash out.

You might use Aave. You lend BTC and get USDT/USDT and do whatever you want with it. Also make sure you copy paste your wallet address into a portfolio tracker like CoinStats to track your health score and make sure you don't get liquidated buddy

ohhhh I've seen that a few times in the last few years. Those huge wicks usually signify that a major trend change is incoming. we have had 2 other instances of such wicks occurring in the past. one to the upside in 2023, a few months before the bullrun really took off and one to the downside in October of 2021, right before the bear market began. Both on the Binance.us USDT pair back then. Both of those wicks were filled about 90%, so in this instance this would mean that the absolute bear market bottom is likely gonna be a little bit below 40k. So guys, prepare yourselves, bear market incoming in 2026 :D Not gonna drop like a rock immediately (in fact a push above 100k in the short term would be cool to trap some of the moonboys) but that wick gives you the overall direction Bitcoin will likely take. :)

OkBojack420

**How much can you actually borrow?** Most platforms will allow you to borrow about 80% of the value you put up as collateral. **What happens if Bitcoin price drops?** If it hits a liquidation level hits they cash you out, no more loan, but also no more Bitcoin. So keep your LTV ratio at a comfortable level to avoid this. **What are the interest rates like?** Usually flexible, changing by the day or even hour. You also don't usually get USD or EUR but you borrow a stable coin. I have seen interest rates for BTC USDT pair go as high as 120% APR. **Which platforms actually do this?** Many, besides the ones you mentioned, Binance, ByBit, probably most other major exchanges. **Is this actually better than just selling?** It can be, but only if Bitcoin decently outpaces it's gains compared to the interest rate you are being charged. Hope that helps, merry Christmas.

Using USDT to dodge sanctions is pretty clever but the liquidity issue is going to bite them eventually. Can't exactly offload billions in stablecoins without raising red flags. The GDP bump is real though, so something's working for now.

>Venezuela collects 80% of oil sales revenue in USDT https://www.cryptopolitan.com/venezuela-collects-80-oil-revenue-in-usdt/ Unfortunately they are regards and should accept BTC or something else instead as payment as that's a lot harder to freeze. But this has helped them keep their oil economy going through sanctions. This is proof that there are use cases for crypto. Depending on whether you think the US is the bully here or not you may find this objectionable. But the truth is that people will continue to look for alternative financial channels outside of a world of USD and fiat.

SilasX

Correct, but a freeze on USDT/C can't target the DAI holder without hurting every DAI user.

fwckr4ddeit

> USDT is widely accepted as a store of value If USDT is "a store of value" than so are USD.

ie485

DAI is backed by - get this - USDC and USDT (mostly)

Tiny_Standard_5358

I think that's partly true; I'm not entirely sure. Because then why would they accept USDT if they can't liquidate their holdings, and why would they use it internally within the country?

Tiny_Standard_5358

That means that China gives them USDT for the purchase of crude, and then Venezuela simply uses it as a mechanism for exchange control and internal distribution, feeding a domestic market where USDT is widely accepted as a store of value and a means of payment?

Tiny_Standard_5358

Basically, the Venezuelan government's use of USDT is a measure to avoid using the U.S. dollar, since being under sanctions makes it very difficult to obtain, just as it is for North Korea, it is also for Venezuela. Furthermore, I think a portion of the USDT that Venezuela obtains through crude oil sales is used within the domestic economy by allocating it to private banks in Venezuela, and then they sell it to companies. This way, companies protect themselves from the hyperinflation of the Bolivar by using USDT.

tldr; Venezuela collects 80% of its crude oil sales revenue in Tether’s USDT, as revealed by economist Asdrubal Oliveros. The country uses stablecoins to sustain its oil economy amidst U.S. sanctions, which have been in place since 2019. Oil production has risen to 1 million barrels per day, with most revenue coming from China. However, Venezuela faces challenges in liquidating its stablecoin holdings due to regulatory controls. Despite sanctions, the country's GDP grew from $102.38 billion in 2023 to $119.81 billion in 2024. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

thelawenforcer

They probably want to pay you in USDT on the Tron network (TRC-20) or Ethereum network (ERC-20). I would recommend Metamask, Trust Wallet or Phantom as a decent wallet to use. Crypto wallets are not like bank accounts - when you generate one, only the person with the corresponding private key (usually shown to the user as a 'seed phrase' - a combination of 12 or 24 words) can move funds in that wallet. You have to guard this seed phrase with your life - if it's compromised you can and will lose everything on that wallet. Do not save it online. Write it down on paper and keep it somewhere safe. Assuming they pay in USDT, this is a dollar-pegged token. You can create an account on an exchange like coinbase or kraken etc and send the USDT there to swap for traditional bank dollars and withdraw them your bank account. I would recommend doing a small test deposit on the exchange in order to ensure that you got it right before sending the full amount!

Post is by: 0xDaisypto and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1pt58bs/has_anyone_actually_stuck_with_usdcmargined/ I’ve been seeing more talk about USDC-margined perps lately, but I’m not sure how meaningful the shift really is. On paper, USDC margin and settlement look cleaner. Less noise from the margin asset itself, clearer PnL, better risk tracking. That all makes sense. In volatile markets though, I’m not convinced it plays out that differently from USDT-M. Funding rates, liquidations, and execution still seem to be what actually matters, not the margin token. Bitunix recently rolled out USDC-M perpetuals with a decent set of pairs. While looking into how these contracts work, I came across their explanation. It’s clear enough, but it doesn’t really answer the bigger question for me. For anyone who’s traded USDC-M perps for more than just a few sessions: 1. did you stick with them or end up switching back? 2. did they genuinely help with risk or PnL clarity? 3. or does everything feel the same once markets get choppy? Trying to figure out what actually holds up in real trading versus what just sounds good in theory. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Wanderlust-Bow

Fair take — BTC vs gold is really about portability, liquidity, and how easily you can actually *use* your value in a digital world. That’s why I keep BTC as BTC, but manage and spend it through Blackcat: EU-regulated, free European IBAN, built-in crypto (BTC/ETH/USDT), instant SEPA, and a real Mastercard that actually works for everyday payments. You get the upside of Bitcoin without turning it into a metal you can’t easily move or use.

Wanderlust-Bow

Yeah, that kind of “max pain whipsaw” wouldn’t surprise anyone around big expiries — quick spike to the magnet level, then a sharp reversal once liquidity is drained, classic options-driven volatility. That’s exactly why having flexible rails matters: being able to move funds fast, hedge, or sit in cash without friction is underrated. I’ve been using Blackcat for that lately — EU-regulated, free European IBAN, instant SEPA, crypto on/off-ramps (BTC/ETH/USDT/USDC), and a free Mastercard that actually works for everyday spending. When markets play games, liquidity and speed matter more than predictions.

Wanderlust-Bow

It basically means there’s a huge amount of BTC options expiring at specific price levels, so price often gets “pulled” toward the max pain area (\~$96K) as market makers hedge positions — expect higher volatility, fake breakouts, and sharp moves around expiry rather than a clean trend. Side note: in times like this, having flexible rails matters — I personally like Blackcat since it gives you a free EU IBAN, low SEPA fees, instant card payments, and built-in crypto (BTC/ETH/USDT/USDC) in one regulated app, which makes moving between fiat and crypto during volatile weeks way easier.

Wanderlust-Bow

Yeah, Russia already had a strong mining presence thanks to cheap energy and scale, this just formalizes and optimizes what was already happening and arguably adds legitimacy rather than changing fundamentals — Bitcoin keeps getting stronger as hashpower spreads globally; on a practical note, for people managing crypto alongside traditional finances, using something like Blackcat makes it easier to bridge both worlds: EU-regulated EMI, free European IBAN, built-in crypto (BTC/ETH/USDT/USDC), low-fee SEPA transfers, and a free Mastercard — handy when crypto moves start intersecting with real-world spending.

Wanderlust-Bow

That’s a fair take state-level acceptance of mining does add legitimacy and hash power, even if motives differ, and it reinforces Bitcoin’s resilience when more jurisdictions participate; for everyday users, the key is still easy access and safe self-custody, which is why tools like Blackcat make sense alongside BTC adoption: free EU IBAN, regulated EMI, low-cost SEPA transfers, built-in crypto (BTC/ETH/USDT/USDC), and a real Mastercard that actually works globally — boring infrastructure, but that’s what makes Bitcoin usable in the real world.

Wanderlust-Bow

Markets love round numbers and memes, but real positioning is about risk management, not just price targets. Whether BTC revisits 69k or not, the bigger question is how you manage volatility in between. That’s why I personally keep part of my capital flexible — using tools like Blackcat, where you get a free EU IBAN, instant SEPA, and built-in crypto support (BTC / ETH / USDT / USDC) in one regulated app. It makes it easier to move between fiat and crypto without friction while the market figures itself out. Cycles come and go — liquidity and control matter more than predictions.

Stablecoins are pegged to the dollar, so their value is stable – that's why they're not an 'investment' in the traditional sense. However, the specific one you mentioned, USDD, offers a ~20% yield. You can earn stable returns on that. On the other hand, TRX is a cryptocurrency, and its price appreciates partly due to the Tron blockchain's deep involvement in USDT issuance. But you can also earn passively on TRX through staking. For instance, Cryptomus offers a 20% APY on TRX staking.

Bitcoin is a blockchain Ethereum is a blockchain TRON is a blockchain BTC is the native currency of Bitcoin. You send BTC on the Bitcoin network, and you pay for transaction fees with BTC. ETH is the native currency of Ethereum. You can send ETH on the Ethereum network and you pay for transaction fees with ETH. TRX is the native currency of TRON. You can send TRX on the TRON network and you pay for transaction fees with TRX. Ethereum and TRON support smart contracts, these are applications which can facilitate a bunch of different functionalities. USDD or USDC or USDT are stablecurrencies. These are tokens that are controlled by smart contracts on TRON and Ethereum. Uniswap is a decentralized exchange where you can exchange tokens, it's controlled by a smart contract on Ethereum. You can't buy "Ethereum", you can buy ETH which is also known as Ether. Same with TRON. You can't buy TRON, you can buy TRX also known as Tronix. A blockchain is a database with contains "blocks" of transactions. Every single transaction on the network is public and recorded on the ledger. BTC transactions on the Bitcoin network, ETH or USDC transactions on the Ethereum network. Here's the latest Ethereum block: https://etherscan.io/block/24063970

Your TRON/Ethereum confusion: TRX is the native token of the TRON blockchain. USDD is a stablecoin that runs ON the TRON blockchain. You're not "investing in the blockchain" you're buying tokens that exist on it.When you buy ETH, you're buying Ether - the token. "Ethereum" is the blockchain network, "Ether" (ETH) is the currency. People conflate the terms. You're buying the token, not "the blockchain itself" - that doesn't even make sense as a concept. "Are these transactions recorded on their blockchains?" Yes. When you buy BTC, the transaction is recorded on Bitcoin's blockchain. When you buy ETH, it's on Ethereum's blockchain. Each blockchain is its own isolated ledger. "Do they communicate with each other?" No. Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains don't natively "talk" to each other. They're separate networks. Bridges exist to move assets between chains, but those are third-party solutions with their own risks. You're asking basic questions about blockchain architecture while considering "investing" in TRON and Ethereum. That's backwards. You're trying to gamble before you understand what you're gambling on. Here's what you should actually do: Don't buy anything yet. You don't understand the basics, which means you'll lose money. Learn the difference between: Layer 1 blockchains (Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON) - the base networks Native tokens (BTC, ETH, TRX) - currencies that power those networks Tokens built ON blockchains (USDD, USDT, random shitcoins) - assets that exist on top of L1s Understand this brutal fact: 95% of crypto projects are designed to extract money from people who ask questions like yours. You're the target customer for exit liquidity. Specific to your question about TRON: TRON (TRX) is mostly known for: Hosting Tether (USDT) - the largest stablecoin Cheap transaction fees Being heavily centralized (Justin Sun controls most of it) USDD is TRON's algorithmic stablecoin (similar to failed Terra/UST that collapsed) Buying TRX is NOT "investing in the blockchain infrastructure." You're buying a token that may or may not increase in value based on speculation, usage, and whether Justin Sun decides to do something stupid. The gritty advice: If you're this early in understanding, you have two options: Option 1: Learn first, invest later Spend 3-6 months understanding how blockchains work Learn tokenomics, market cycles, technical analysis Paper trade (fake money) until you understand what you're doing THEN consider putting real money in Option 2: Accept you're gambling and act accordingly Put 90% in Bitcoin (the only crypto with 15-year track record) Put 5-10% in learning mistakes with small amounts Don't touch anything with "innovative features" or "better than Ethereum" claims Expect to lose the 5-10% What you should NOT do: Buy USDD (algorithmic stablecoin with collapse risk) Buy TRX thinking you're "investing in blockchain infrastructure" Buy random alts because articles mention them Invest significant money before understanding basics

On their platform, transaction volume grew 43% year over year and the average person is now investing over $1,000 (about 5,700 reais). Thats a pretty significant number for an emerging market. What's really interesting is how the market is evolving. Its not just speculation anymore. About 18% of investors are diversifying across multiple crypto assets instead of going all-in on one coin. Bitcoin is still the most traded followed by USDT, ETH and Solana. But stablecoin transactions tripled compared to last year as people looked for lower volatility options during uncertain times. The demographic shift is notable too. Investors under 24 years old increased by 56% which shows crypto is catching on with younger generations. But growth happened across all age groups including high net worth individuals and institutions. Geographically its spreading beyond just São Paulo and Rio into other regions. Low-risk crypto products saw massive 108% growth. These digital fixed income offerings (on Mercado Bitcoin) distributed about $325 million to investors in 2025. Seems like Brazilians are getting more sophisticated and looking for yield opportunities beyond just buying and holding. Even traditional finance is taking notice. Itaú Asset Management now recommends allocating 1-3% of portfolios to Bitcoin as a hedge against currency volatility and geopolitical risks. Coming from one of Brazil's biggest asset managers thats a pretty big endorsement. Brazil's population is over 200 million and if adoption keeps growing at this pace it could become one of the top crypto markets globally. Worth watching how this develops, especially as products and regulation keep maturing. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

They still don't understand what they are. They're talking about capital gains on stablecoins as if people bought USDT for $0.05 in 2014 and now it's appreciated to $1 in 2025. You buy it for $1 and 10 years later it's still $1. They still are confused on the basics. The official fiat of a country is the measurement token. It doesn't change in official fiat. 1 yen is 1 yen. 1 peso is 1 peso. One yuan is 1 yuan. 1 dollar is 1 dollar. They still don't really understand what they're looking at. They think USDC is like Bitcoin.

tldr; The stablecoins market cap continues to grow, with Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) dominating the industry. Tether, the oldest stablecoin, has seen significant growth, reaching a market cap of $185B in 2025, while USDC has rebounded to $80B after setbacks in 2023. New entrants like Ethena USD and PayPal USD are gaining traction, though challenges remain for some. Overall, the stablecoins market cap has surpassed $300B, with Tether holding 61% of the market share, reflecting its resilience and dominance despite regulatory pressures. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

tldr; A crypto trader lost $50 million USDT in an 'address poisoning' scam. The scam involved the attacker creating a similar-looking address to the legitimate one, tricking the victim into sending funds to the wrong address. The victim initially sent a test transaction to the correct address but later mistakenly sent the large sum to the scammer's address. The stolen funds were converted into untraceable assets. Address poisoning scams exploit users' transaction history to deceive them into copying incorrect addresses. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

I thought I could stake USDT (Tether) if I bought on Kraken but it's not on the list. The UK differs from European law, but is there anywhere a UK tax resident can stake USDT? Does USDC have similar staking benefits? My understanding is that during a bull to neutral market, staking us stable coins can earn well.

uncapchad

Stole ETH, converted it to BTC and USDT. So there's the tenuous connection to Bitcoin. Not even hackers want alts these days

If you’re okay with Solana assets, Solflare’s been solid for me smooth UX, no weird extra fees, and USDC/USDT on Solana works great. For full top-50 coverage you’ll probably still need more than one wallet though.

If they held what they claim to hold on that transparency page, they would welcome a real audit. They refuse transparency because they don't have what they claim to have. They have printed billions of USDT regularly without the collateral to back it up. The fact that it has gotten this far on "trustmebro" is mind boggling.

sngsam4

Well maybe, but so far they are doing right. I guess we would have saw they are liars around the FTX crash when there were a lot of usdt redeeming... I guess you know their webpage about transparency and reports https://tether.to/en/transparency/ To be fair last I checked was a few years ago. An also the tether fud I stumbled upon through the year were all (yes) misleading once you start to read beyond a twitter screenshot - i mean when you get the pdf and read what the fud is about. I'm not endorsing but I don't think it's a fraud Plus if you think of it, it's really an easy and clever business: you take a µ each time someone wants USDT for USD or the opposite. Easy, clever and profitable business. I honestly guess it would be hard to make it go south

volatile_flange

Man no serious company will ever accept btc. Look at this clusterfuck. It dips over 20% in a few weeks? Oil and gold and USDT. That’s all real people care about. Now that crypto is in government it defeats the whole purpose of the concept of a decentralised token. Now it’s centralised asf. The idea is toast

Noob here who has been drawn into what is officially the run up to a company going live Q1 2026 with an AI invention for surfing contract trading in crypto. Feels scammier by the day, although everyone in this final “data test group” has made mind-blowing returns in half an hour or less at a time. They tell us the profits are gained from the volatility of the market, no animals were harmed in the making of this money, etc. Does anyone know about these types of trades? Have people heard of Quant, IQCC, or Dr Dewee Baker? I invested $11K on December 12, 2025. Balance in USDT is now $33,195.10 I’m not pitching, I’m seeking advice A few trusted friends don’t trust this at all and want me to withdraw my money ASAP, at least the initial investment and some profit so if the rest fizzles, it was just a dream. Other investors have said they are liquidating IRAs, stocks, and 401(k)s “to attain new heights of wealth”. Who has the most experience with contract trading in the group, please? Happily buy a “virtual” cup of coffee, lunch, etc, for informed advice, please. Thank for reading, Advice requested and eagerly received

Sorry but stablecoins like USDT already won this battle a long time ago.

Hey Been trading crypto and forex a few years thought I was careful Got a DM about mirror trading a month ago sent 5.8k USDT and it’s gone Gutted Anyone else get hit by this?

I suppose, non-KYC on & off ramping of USDT/USDC can be done through either of the following subs... - r/USDTexchange - r/USDCexchange Non-KYC Spot/Margin trading is possible through HyperLiquid/Lighter/Aster/EdgeX.

For a US business, I’d avoid TRC20 USDT entirely if predictability matters. Consider asking clients to pay via USDC on Ethereum/Base and use a US-regulated on/off-ramp (Coinbase Commerce, Kraken, Circle direct). That gives you clearer compliance, better audit trails, and far less risk of arbitrary freezes compared to TRON-USDT. For cash flow, reliability beats lower fees.

tldr; By 2025, cryptocurrency has evolved beyond speculative trading to practical applications in digital workflows. Stablecoins like USDC and USDT are widely used for payments in remote work, creator economies, and international transactions, reducing fees and delays. Businesses, including domain registrars and hosting providers, accept crypto for services. Tokenized collectibles and blockchain-based games integrate crypto for trading and gameplay. Decentralized finance (DeFi) and DAOs utilize crypto for governance and financial operations, showcasing its growing utility. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

I run both portfolios but crypto scratches the “I control everything” itch that stocks never will. No broker calling me about pattern day trading rules, no settlement delays, no account freezes because I sent USDT to the wrong chain in 2021. Self-custody is genuinely addictive once you’ve tasted it.
