Move away BTC, USDT and the shiny yellow rock are better store of value 😎

USDT can be frozen tho isnt this risky

Buy USDT and hold. You'll win.

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.

> 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.

In the last year, USDT lost over 15% of its value relative to EURC and more than 40% relative to XAUT/PAXG.

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.

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!

I tried both and they are more or less the same. I stuck with USDT-M though

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.

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

Ikki_The_Phoenix

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

You could lock up your BTC as collateral and borrow stablecoins without selling your BTC. Of course this comes with its own risks (If BTC falls too much). It all depends on how much LTV(Loan To Value) you want and how much of your BTC you want to deposit as collateral. For example: 1 BTC = $90,000 Collateral: 1 BTC 50% LTV → you borrow $45,000 (USDT or USDC or DAI) When do you get liquidated? It depends on the Threshold, Aave it’s typically around 70–75% let’s say 75% If BTC drops to ~$60k, liquidation starts. That’s about a 33% drop. These numbers can change you can get better deals/get more value out of your BTC. The Idea is you keep your BTC and borrow against it. You can always pay back your debt or add collateral to drop your liquidation price even lower.

SilkenicDud

Exactly. This is what happens when crypto stops being “just a market” and starts behaving like a balance sheet. When a single player can deploy hundreds of millions with leverage, price action becomes less about narratives and more about capital control. That’s why the future isn’t *anti-bank* crypto or *anti-crypto* banks — it’s hybrid infrastructure. Banks that understand crypto rails, and crypto platforms that understand risk, custody, and compliance. This is actually where products like Blackcat make sense: real banking features, EU regulation, but with native crypto support (BTC/ETH/USDT on-chain, instant transfers, proper cards). Not OG chaos — but not TradFi cosplay either. The “OG days” aren’t gone. They’re just growing up.

SilkenicDud

10% sounds reasonable for a beginner, honestly. A lot depends on risk tolerance and how easy it is for you to move in/out. I keep it closer to 5–10% and rebalance occasionally. What helped me was using a setup where crypto and fiat are connected — I use Blackcat, so I can hold BTC/USDT and still have a normal EU IBAN and card. Makes allocation decisions way less stressful when you’re not “all-in crypto”

Basically, it is an app that has been on the Play Store for years, which makes it look legitimate. It is run by trading groups that promise very high return rates. What they do is convince you to invest through their “broker,” claiming they trade altcoins and can generate high profits. At first, they let you make good returns and then encourage you to invest in altcoins before they are officially released. You can subscribe and receive these tokens at a very low price. However, what they do not tell you is that if the value of the tokens you receive becomes higher than your account balance, your account will be frozen, and you will not be able to withdraw or do anything. Every time you top up or receive tokens, your token balance increases, and they push you to invest even more. Sometimes they pretend to “help” you by giving you 1k, 2k, or 5k USDT to help you reach a higher level, but this is only to trap you into investing more of your own money. Basically, this is a well-controlled and organized scam. Do not invest any money with them — you will lose everything. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

tldr; The stablecoin market has reached a new peak market cap of $310.117 billion, with Tether's USDT and Circle's USDC dominating at a combined 85% market share. Over the past year, the sector grew by 52.1%, despite challenges like the October crypto crash. Yield-bearing stablecoins have seen a decline, while payment-focused stablecoins, such as PayPal's PYUSD, are driving growth. PYUSD has gained traction, including adoption by YouTube for U.S.-based content creators. The overall stablecoin market added $1.79 billion in the past week, reflecting continued expansion. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

There is $186 billion in USDT created by depositing (effectively) US treasuries with Tether. They earn the yield (~5%) on that, generating revenue of $9 billion and margins rumored in the 90%+ range. It’s an amazing business.

TYFALY

OTC happens, but funds still settle on chain. i specifically track USDT hitting exchange hot wallets. it’s a proxy for incoming buy pressure, not the whole picture.

CaptainRelevant

The premise seem false anyways. Don’t real whales use OTC desks? How can you track that using USDT?

Mad_Zion

You can, I usually stake some USDT and SOL together, daily APY adds up nice.

3tc4tc

SOL, ETH, USDT, BNB, or Card. And don't forget to join the Solfart Nation subreddit, thats where the founder are posting most of the time

tldr; Venezuelans increasingly rely on blockchain technology and stablecoins like USDT due to economic instability, the bolívar’s devaluation, and unreliable banking infrastructure. TRM Labs predicts stablecoin usage will grow as a store of value and medium of exchange amid ongoing economic and geopolitical challenges. Peer-to-peer trading and local platforms with mobile wallets are key for crypto access. Stablecoins are used out of necessity for transactions, not speculation, reflecting Venezuela's economic collapse and sanctions-driven financial adaptation. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

I just checked, and what you're saying is wrong (at least for France). You're not taxable in France as long as you don't exchange for euros or dollars. That's for sure. If you exchange your bitcoins for USDT or USDC, you are not taxable. They are considered cryptocurrency here, and you have to exchange them for a legal tender (fiat) to be taxed. If you don't know, next time don't answer instead of talking nonsense.

SevereCalendar7606

USDT red carded.

Shot_Truth_4537

The day you sell your BTC, you do it on a site like Bidjet, you'll get USDT, you transfer it to your Bidjet card and there you go, just spend it lol and no flat tax by 😉

Post is by: crypto_noo and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1plhe4v/europeans_are_using_crypto_for_everyday_spending/ A recent report from WhiteBIT shows that crypto is increasingly being used across Europe for everyday purchases like groceries, coffee, and bill payments — not just trading or speculation. Key points from the report: Stablecoins lead everyday spending**: USDC, USDT, and EURI are the most commonly used for payments, while Bitcoin is used far less for daily purchases. * **€50M+ in card transactions**: WhiteBIT’s crypto debit card (Nova) has processed over €50 million, with average monthly spending per user between €500–€1,000. * **Virtual cards dominate**: 81% of users prefer virtual cards over physical ones, highlighting a strong mobile-first trend. * **Growing adoption across Europe**: Countries like Spain, Italy, Ireland, Poland, and the Netherlands are seeing crypto payments become increasingly routine. The takeaway: stablecoins are becoming the go-to option for daily spending, while assets like Bitcoin are mainly held long-term. Crypto cards may no longer be a “future use case” — they’re quietly becoming part of everyday finance in Europe. Curious to hear thoughts from Europeans here — are you using crypto cards for daily spending yet? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Just key in "1 trillion USDT" and click "Mint", BOTTOM !!

>RLUSD first, XRP not mentioned. Ouch. I understand and can see you don’t know what you don’t know, the reason this is big for RLUSD is because of regulation and compliance. >first for $RLUSD, setting the highest standard for stablecoin compliance with both federal (OCC) & state (NYDFS) oversight. XRP does not have oversight. XRP isn’t tied to any single country, issuer, or banking system (the X in a ticker like XRP, XLM, XDC represents no single country, issuer, or banking system), and stable coins like USDC, USDT and RLUSD are issued by companies under U.S. or other jurisdictions, this adds counterparty and regulatory risk and why they operate under regulations and oversight. Each stablecoin token represents a claim on Circle, Tether or Ripple’s reserves and must operate under their respective regulatory obligations, that is counterparty risk a native asset like ‘X’ assets do not have, when XRP is used the sender holds it, they directly control it on chain via their keys, there’s no redemption promise, no issuer, and no entity that can freeze or revoke it, therefore no counterparty risk. USDC/USDT/RLUSD adds counterparty and regulatory risk because it depends on an issuer’s compliance and solvency and XRP does not because it exists independently of any central authority. To you, you see no mention of XRP and that must be a negative in your head. The truth is there is no reason to mention XRP because the whole statement by Brad is about regulation and compliance of their stablecoin, the asset they own and issue. Ripple did not create XRP, nor have they ever issued it, they do now ‘own’ it. To speak of XRP in this statement would make zero sense because XRP does not have a central authority to regulate.

Hidden5G

Yet…it’s still a speculative and whale manipulated coin that relies on the next wave of buyers paying more. It offers zero utility for the new financial system that’ll soon be upon when regulations arrive and true utility branch off, leaving the speculation driven Beta Test Coin for the gamblers. After the Vanguard news today, and the know an audit avoidance by USDT…it has no goals other than speculation driven.

Hidden5G

He’s not wrong. It relies on speculation and whale manipulation, as well as the next wave of buyers paying more. It’s propped up by USDT which is already restricted in parts of the world due to its ongoing avoidance of having a full Audit. Everything is fine.

Hot-Principle-9215

Sounds promising but I'm skeptical about the leverage part - we all know how that usually ends in crypto lol. The USDT margin thing is clever though, saves the hassle of moving funds around constantly

Xennenial

Thats why I buy $WBTC in the Solana network instead, it's tied directly to the price of Bitcoin and I can just swap it for $USDT on Raydium. I make the same returns as I would buying and selling bitcoin with lower transaction fees then the centralized exchanges.

Critical-Brain2841

Just be cautious with the counter party as it might taint your addresses. Because when you do decide to go to a centralized provider, they will need to check whether your address has been tainted by sanction funds or not. Especially with USDT. But if you don’t think you’ll ever touch a provider like coinbase, then by all means.

beIIe-and-sebastian

They make insane amounts of money by buying treasury bills and earning interest on in by using the money deposited with tether in exchange for USDT.

processwater

They going to pay in freshly minted USDT?

binary_quasar

Wow. Omg. My eyes have been closed for my entire decade in this space....how could I have ignored this!? >Ripple owns, hidden road, metaco, rail, and many other financial institutions. Clearing houses. Lending. Payments. Stable coins. Paxos was one of the first RWA providers and is also providing custody, lending, clearing, so you're wrong. Ethereum and Solana already have >Circle is a one trick pony. Buy t bills and get paid interest. Paxos and fidelity have no innovation, and don’t have their own block chains. >They are literally not competitors in any way Circle is native on 22 blockchains **including the XRPL** and can be traded on the XRPL *without even having to touch XRP*(thankfully for them). If USDT had the ability to be independently audited and become more compliant, they might have a shot, but USDC is the second largest stablecoin by market cap and is compliant with U.S. laws. the head start they have against every other competitor is massively. Incredibly massive. Let me ask you this - if USDC is native on 22 blockchains and can be used on the XRPL **without needing XRP**, why would anybody use RLUSD and how does this help the XRP token? Why wouldn't people use the independently audited familiar stablecoin USDC that can be sent easily to other chains and remain as UDSC and instead use RLUSD? >The XRPL is the ONLY THING that can connect all of those businesses and allow for free and easy transfer of stable coins. XRP can act as a bridge asset for liquidity between stablecoins, you do not have to hold/consume XRP just to transfer a stablecoin like USDC because the instituitions that want to partner with Ripple, don't want to touch XRP because they don't have to, it's dogshit, and would add unnecessary risk. More and more they are making it so they don't need to hold or interact with XRP the transaction sablecoins on the XRPL, because that's literally almost every one of them want. There is very little institutional demand for the XRP token, but there are people that want to explore Ripple's remittance capabilities, just without the XRP token being involved.

Hidden5G

It runs on speculation and whale games. The only way it moves is if a new wave of buyers pays more than the last one. Fact. Its liquidity is tied to USDT which still refuses full audits and is blocked in multiple regions, so the foundation isn’t exactly solid. Fact. The Vanguard executive just compared Bitcoin to a digital plush toy because it produces no yield, no cash flow, and no measurable economic value. That should tell you everything. There is zero real utility from the Beta Test Coin for the new financial system that is being built right now.

tldr; Oobit, backed by Tether, has launched in the U.S., enabling crypto payments via Visa across all 50 states. Users can connect non-custodial wallets to pay with cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, and USDT, which are instantly converted to fiat for merchants, avoiding crypto volatility. Partnering with Bakkt ensures regulatory compliance, enhancing trust. This innovation bridges crypto ownership with practical use, signaling progress in crypto's integration into daily commerce. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Oh there's a very big difference... Here's an article for ya. https://sylvainsaurel.substack.com/p/the-87-cent-dollar-why-tethers-new USDT is rated as "Junk" by rating agencies for GOOD reason.

oak1337

Well I personally wouldn't use USDT... That's a ticking timebomb. USDC is better.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Bitget TradFi is a platform that integrates cryptocurrency trading with traditional financial markets, allowing users to trade assets like forex, gold, and stock CFDs using USDT as margin. It eliminates the need for fiat currency handling and multiple accounts, offering features like high leverage, demo trading, and copy trading. While it simplifies access to global markets for crypto users, it requires identity verification and carries risks like market volatility and over-leveraging. The platform aims to provide cost-effective trading with competitive fees and robust security measures. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Funnyurolith61

Rabby is def good, I like their feature where you can pay for the gas fee with USDT in any supported chain, they do the conversion for you. Killer feature

LinusVPelt

Yes, but no one is forced to use USDT. So what's the issue for you if it's not backed? It's an issue only if you use it.

Xiren8

So this means that no matter which country you come from, as long as you have USDT, you can invest in the US stock market, am I right?

Xiximaro

Most people have been talking before the crisis not because they knew but because they are contrarians.... just like talked that when BTC was at 100$ the bubble would burst. The reason people still use USDT is because of the massive adoption it had. It can have all the problems it hás, but it hás gotten too widespread. And it will still be the most used if it continues to be the stable with most pairs. It's like it's gotten to big to fail.

pop-1988

> people have been saying bad things about 2008 crisis long before it happened That's a weak comparison It's public knowledge that Tether wasn't 100% backing USDT from 2017. They admitted it in evidence in the NYAG case. But since the NYAG case, the amount of USDT issued has tripled, dwarfing the 2017 shortfall. Any 4-years-old commentary about Tether is obsolete Where's the current commentary? All we really know is that they've grown, are still growing, and have still never proved their reserves

LinusVPelt

They're preparing to go public at a valuation in line with Circle's multiples, so eventually they will provide also an audit. Which probably won't be an issue given the assets they have now. Their reserves of treasuries and gold are public anyway. Tether has been a cash cow with an 80M per employee earnings in the past five years. They make so much profit that they can send tens of millions instantly through USDT to provide liquidity to entities with short term needs, so they also make money out of these operations now. They risked a lot with the collapse of Crypto Capital and the NY lawsuit in 2018-2019, all the concerns at the time were valid. But somehow they survived that and the ginormous amount of cash they managed was likely enough to cover the 800M loss it caused them. When interest rates hit 4-5%, they were easily making billions every year just holding cash. You should listen to some of the recent interviews at Ardoino.

MariachiArchery

Stocks are a little different because we are almost always converting to cash when exiting a position. You would never be trading Amazon shares for Google shares. You'd always convert to cash. Crypto differs in that we can swap BTC for ETH, or USDT for SOL, for example. Neither of these transaction involve cash, but they are both taxable events. It's a little different.
