USDT

Due-Candy-8929

USDT is sketchy… don’t trust your money in it… it couldn’t meet the requirements for MiCa so isn't up to standard in Europe… far better off with USDC or RLUSD… both Ripple and Circle have filed for banking licenses as well now… I sold all my SOL when the Trump coin launched - turned out to be the top for SOL, now its back at November levels - XRP has been the top performer since the election

LaColleMouille

You can tell your first wife about BTC, and your second wife about ETH. And so on with USDT, Monero... keep Dogecoin for the ONS.

brustopher01

LOL no they're not. Crypto as an asset class has been selling off relative to BTC for 3 years. (TOTAL3-USDT) / BTC

CalderWren The First Law Firm to Take Legal Action Against Changelly vip 2025-07-03 03:49:07 In a critical turning point for crypto investor protection, Calder & Wren LLP, a boutique law firm specializing in blockchain litigation, has become the first legal team to initiate formal legal proceedings against Changelly, following an unresolved case involving $1 million in USDT. The case highlights serious gaps in exchange accountability and how legal action, when handled strategically, can deliver swift and decisive results. The Incident: $1,000,000 USDT Sent, Then Frozen for Over Six Months In late 2024, a client initiated a large-scale swap via Changelly, converting $1M USDT (ERC-20) into native BTC . The transaction was executed correctly, with verifiable blockchain confirmation and matching wallet addresses. But the funds were never delivered. Over the course of six months, the victim made repeated efforts to resolve the issue: Over a period of more than six months, the client made every reasonable effort to resolve the issue directly with Changelly. They submitted multiple support tickets through the official platform, each accompanied by detailed explanations of the problem. To further demonstrate the legitimacy of the transaction, the client provided full KYC documentation and evidence of the lawful origin of the funds. They also submitted signed declarations confirming ownership of the involved wallets, as well as complete on-chain transaction logs. In a final effort to gain visibility, the client attempted to escalate the matter publicly by posting in the official Changelly subreddit, contacting the company via Twitter, and even reaching out through third-party industry contacts. Despite these persistent efforts, no meaningful response was ever received. The case was repeatedly met with silence, automated replies, or ticket closures without explanation. Legal Action Begins: Calder & Wren Steps In After months of inaction from Changelly, the client turned to Calder & Wren’s Digital Asset Legal Division. The firm promptly initiated a two-pronged approach: a forensic audit and jurisdictional investigation. First, the legal team conducted a comprehensive technical review, analyzing transaction data on Etherscan and BTC explorer, verifying wallet metadata, and compiling the full communication history with Changelly. Simultaneously, Calder & Wren launched a legal inquiry to uncover the platform’s true operating structure. Though Changelly presented itself as decentralized and routed activity through offshore entities, the firm was able to: Uncover its effective legal presence in Europe and USA. Link the platform to known founders and affiliated companies Gather sufficient evidence to file a formal legal notice and case brief with the relevant court This dual strategy proved crucial in forcing a response from the platform and securing a resolution Resolution Within 72 hours of receiving the court-stamped legal threat, Changelly issued a full refund of the $1M USDT to the original wallet. The platform acknowledged the dispute, without admitting liability, and closed the case with a formal statement to the client's legal team. Statement from Calder & Wren This case marks an important success not only for our client, but also for legal accountability in the digital asset space. It highlights how blockchain transparency, when paired with well-structured legal action, can effectively challenge platforms that operate in legal grey areas. The result was made possible through coordinated efforts across multiple actors, including regulatory counsel, the jurisdictional court, and even the underlying exchange where Changelly held the frozen funds. It’s a clear demonstration that, despite the opacity of certain crypto services, collaboration and legal precision can deliver results.

tldr; Bitcoin surged past $110,000 on July 3, highlighting differences in trading behavior between fiat (USD) and stablecoin (USDT) markets. On Binance, BTCUSD consistently held a narrow premium over BTCUSDT, averaging 0.034% in the days prior. During the breakout, the spread compressed to 0.013%, indicating liquidity shifts or arbitrage activity. Regional trading patterns showed higher fiat-based execution during European hours. Despite small spreads, they represent significant opportunities across high trading volumes. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

it's smart to keep some cash as you think you might need it. I'd suggest putting half in Bitcoin and converting the rest to a stable coin like USDT or USDC, so that you can retain the purchasing power in the near term.

Sylvester Bryant helped me recover nearly 500,000 USDT after my crypto was stolen. When I first found out, I was overwhelmed and unsure what to do. His deep knowledge of blockchain technology and tireless effort made all the difference. He thoroughly tracked complex transactions and uncovered the scammers behind the theft. I could never have done that on my own. Thanks to his skill and dedication, I managed to get back a large part of my funds. His attention to detail was impressive and he worked tirelessly until the job was done. If you face a similar problem, I strongly suggest contacting him at Yt7cracker@gmail. com or through WhatsApp at +1 (512) 577-7957. His expertise brought hope and real results during a tough time.

Single_Indication_31

You are quite cooked, instead of investing into Bitcoin,ETH, SOL , you decided to invest into a meme coin. Take that 20K out of those shitty coins. Deposit it into an Exchange and trade BTC / USDT and boom you have your 50K back.

JuniorNatural

Yo, great strategy with the DCA and long-term hold! On that 30% altcoin part, you should seriously check out Tron (TRX). Big news: its founder is apparently taking it public on the stock market soon. Think about it – no blockchain has ever IPO'd its own shares. That's a game-changer! Plus, Tron's network actually has more USDT issued on it than Ethereum does. You know how vital stablecoins are for keeping the whole crypto market running smoothly. Me, I'm mostly BTC, but I also hold TRX and 13 other alts that are super popular for everyday payments. My secret sauce for that list? I just looked at what crypto payment processors, like Cryptomus and others, actually support. These payment companies are gonna be huge. More and more businesses jumping on board means mass adoption for these 'retail' coins, and that liquidity influx could send them soaring. And don't forget staking! I get anywhere from 5-20% extra yield per year. If you just let it compound, you'll have a decent buffer against the next bear market in about four years.

Bitdream200K

I don't see the point of that. USDT isn't doing more or less then any other crypto can do

sinan-aydin

Yes I closely monitor stablecoin inflows especially USDT and USDC into exchanges as a liquidity signal. They often precede short term price moves particularly in quiet markets acting as a proxy for buying power. I trust data from CryptoQuant and Lookonchain but always cross reference with exchange heatmaps and volume shifts.

OkPatience3922

yep this >= 20% yield on wanUSDC and wanUSDT is omg. Makes me want sometimes to create an eth wallet, put there some USDT just to wanbridge it to liqwid... (but I am lazy and never touched this strange ethereum world)

FirstAmendmentIsDead

American here. Never sold, so no need to withdraw USDT. I'm trying to send sats to cold storage.

twitch-switch

I know they're allowing Aussies to pay with AUD and removing USDT. Possibly related to that?

JuniorNatural

You're spot on! In Kenya, you'll even find village shops accepting crypto or stablecoins. Fun fact: in Africa, USDT isn't always paid via TronLink. A lot of folks use Cryptomus because of the cashback they offer. This payment processor is getting big with local businesses. Honestly, Tron's developers should probably focus on making their wallet more convenient and seriously push for merchant adoption.

How would you get the USDT if you live in one of those countries? I imagine if you already had USD, you'd just hold the USD. But if you were holding Argentina money, how do you make your way to USDT?

Content_East_3308

I’ve thought about this too — like when most people are shorting and the price still drops 70%, it feels like “where’s all that money coming from?” But the thing is, shorting doesn’t create money out of nowhere. You're just profiting off someone else who's on the losing side — like longs getting liquidated or people holding through the dump. Also yeah, a lot of coins move together, especially on Binance where everything’s tied to USDT or BTC. So when the majors drop, the rest usually follow. It’s not the exchange giving money away — it's just how the market shifts between winners and losers.

AndyIbanez

Yes, both USDC and USDT are scarce hence the hyperinflation, but it's still very much possible to find stables. We have at least 4 services available to us that allow us to convert local fiat to USDC through P2P, and they are much easier to inject to the local economy since you can do so without banks.

pickleBoy2021

Everything is correlated to BTC. This whole industry was built off it. So you have miners, market makers, institutions that started from nothing and who are big and diverse but who denominate solely in BTC. A small remote earthquake or rumble sets off a Tsunami that builds in the ocean and takes out some some islands. City receives some damage while some small villages were destroyed and fisherman were killed. A BTC move is the earthquake. Tsunami are capital flows and positions. The damage to alts range from the city to the dead fisherman. Liquidity. In every portfolio. My top 3 watch coins or earthquake indicators are BTC, USDC, and USDT. If stable demand starts to climb while BTC starts to get shaky. My coins start going red hard. Earthquake is coming. Then it’s a matter of scale.

NoAside212

Can Morpho be trusted or not? I want to deposit USDT at 3.1% APY, but I can’t find any real reviews anywhere

AndyIbanez

And there is, but it is much easier to acquire anyway. Of course, you buy the stablecoins at the parallel market exchange rate, so you are already buying them for more than twice as much, but at least they are more obtainable than physical USD. If you have a USD income, you are set as you can inject your coins as USDC or USDT into the market when you feel like you need local currency.

liquid_at

and where exactly in the code of established stable-coins is the rule that it has to have government surveillance? Do you trust USDT more to back each token with a real dollar than you trust the FED?

MotanulScotishFold

Look what SP500 does and then BTC does, so you'll see how your coin will do. Check BTC.D, TOTAL1. TOTAL2, TOTAL3. Compare the supply coins of your tokens when it was ATH to now and see how much the price could be if a certain marketcap reached for that. Also look at DXY, the dollar becoming more and more worthless would give you a false impression that everything is increasing in price but instead it just reflect the current price of dollar. also USDT.D how many money are kept on hold and waiting vs invested. and many other stuff.

TumbleweedWorldly325

I think USDT is a way to get access to the de facto global currency the dollar. If your local currency is inflating you can lock your wealth into USDT and protect it. But the Dollar is also inflating and losing value but at a lower rate. USDT is very liquid. On the other hand BTC has a fixed supply and can only go up. Same with XRP, XLM etc. The crypto that wins will be the one that has great price feeds that are secure, a full smart contract suit and interoperability with other block chains and trad finance. We don't know which of the contenders is best in my opinion. But I do think secure accurate price feeds and data are critical. I like FLR.

GuaranteeMinimum7241

Yeah I’ve used OKX Auto-Earn with USDT and a few high-yield coins. It’s decent for passive income but be careful — the higher the APY, the riskier the coin. USDT is safer but usually has lower returns. I’d avoid unknown tokens unless you’re okay with locking and volatility. Feels kinda like staking in a savings account, but nothing’s 100% safe in crypto, so only put in what you don’t mind sitting on.👍

pickleBoy2021

It’s only big money if people use your coin and you can manage your costs. USDC has some crazy costs so it’s a decent business vs tether. Like anything else it’s about adoption. If I’m a normie business CEO presenting to my board options. You want to protect your job, your fat stock options, and your plane. We have PayPal, USDC, JP Morgan, Stripe, USDT, future bank, Trump, and Xrp. As board member, CEO, senior exec the company with the confusing lawsuit sounds just like another player that’s in the mix but has not scaled anything.

Scottex99

Nobody cares about XRP except for barbers, Uber drives and assorted other retail noobs. They were early and now you don’t need to go in and out of XRP when you can just use USDT/C. Why is Tether doing more daily transactions than Visa? Why has Circle like 5xd straight off the IPO (or whatever the number is)? Why did XRP look at buying Circle if they have this mega bank integration? They were early, Brad got insanely rich and they’ll just dump on retail forever, it hasn’t even got back to 2017 ATH yet. Just buy BTC and come back in 4 years

TCr0wn

I use USDT daily for payments. Don’t have to wait for approval or action from a bank. I much prefer it over usd

Leading_Wafer9552

Stablecoins like USDC and USDT are basically CBDCs by a different name. Circle and Tether can freeze your funds and block you from accessing them, which defeats the purpose of a real cryptocurrency that is supposed to be permissionless and allow users to truly own their own money.

liquid_at

there are multiple markets and if you want to trade Crypto-USD it is different from Crypto-USDT or Crypto-USDC. There are also countries with different currencies, other than the USD. But for me personally, the primary advantage of stable-coins is that my government does not consider crypto to crypto exchanges a taxable event, so I can use stable-coins for trading without having to pay taxes, until I convert it to fiat.

InsuranceGuyQuestion

USDT might have very well been a fraud, but they've invested so much in BTC and treasury bonds over the years that even one point they were they've probably made up their books. That's my theory tbh.

USDT being outed as a fraud

exivor01

I will give you from japan. Because of regulations or Japanese be japanese, our crypto exchange applications here don’t have USDC or USDT, only JPY as fiat and not transferrable over to chain. As a result, following happens; “let’s say you have 2k USDC on ETH network or in other exchanges adn you need cash in japan. First you gotta buy ETH, BTC or any coin that japanese exchange uses so you are paying fees changing from USDC to ETH. Then you send that to japanese exchange. Then, when it arrives there, you sell it for JPY another unnecessary step, and Japanese exchange take like 100 times more fees. (No exaggeration unfortunately.) then you wanna withdraw that your bank which japanes exchange takes another 5 usd because F you. This process is infinitely more easier and like in total, cost like a dollar in any other country. In japan, i paid like 10 usd for withdrawing 100 usd. Crazy

somethingimadeup

If “stablecoins” are tied to only being accepted at one retailer, I could see how they will end up depegging. Why would someone want to buy their coin if they can only use it at Walmart? There’s a reason you can buy gift cards online at a discount. Why would I want to trade a dollar I can use anywhere for a dollar I can only use at wal mart? That wal mart dollar is worth inherently less than a non-restricted stablecoin. No sane person would trade their USDT one-to-one with a Walmart token.

InteractionBusy4689

I can give you 20% APY on USDT, like a very profitable deposit

seekfitness

Imagine you live in a country with an unstable currently, maybe Argentina or somewhere in Africa. You want to primary hold dollars but it was previously difficult. Now you can easily hold USDT or other stables. Listen to the recent Bankless podcast with the founder of Tether, it’s very information on this topic.

>“TRON’s success is grounded in its alignment with the core values of crypto—openness, user empowerment, and real-world utility,” said Justin Sun, founder of TRON. “USDT on TRON has become the go-to choice for millions of people because it works—it’s fast, efficient, and easy to use. NGL he’s as tough as a roach. Look at all the founders from the same era: SBF, Zhu Su, CZ, and Do Kwon all got taken in, yet he is the only one who hasnt, and on top of that, TRON group just went public via a reverse merger. He really has some exceptional skills navigating both the crypto space and China/US politics.

tldr; TRON DAO announced that the circulating supply of USDT on the TRON blockchain has surpassed $80 billion, solidifying TRON as the leading stablecoin network. TRON hosts over half of the global USDT supply and leads in issuance, transaction volume, and daily user activity. With over 315 million user accounts and $21.5 billion in daily USDT transfers, TRON is a key player in digital dollar movement. Its efficiency and low costs make it a preferred choice for stablecoin activity, supporting financial inclusion and cross-border settlements. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

tldr; Despite domestic bans on crypto payments in countries like China, Russia, and Turkey, using cryptocurrency for payments abroad may be legally permissible. Legal experts suggest that national laws typically apply only within a country's borders, allowing citizens to use crypto for international transactions. For example, Georgian travel company Tripzy now accepts Tether's USDT for bookings, catering to tourists from countries with crypto restrictions. However, global authorities may scrutinize such practices, especially regarding stablecoins and anti-money laundering concerns. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

This is a dusting attack and the illusion of high value in these scam tokens 100% hinges on liquidity, or, the lack of it. Scammers: 1. ⁠Create a fake token, say $BAIT for example. 2. ⁠Assign a fake price by: -Creating a tiny liquidity pool with very skewed ratios (eg, 1 $BAIT = 10 SOL). -Or setting a token price in a centralized tracker they control. 3. ⁠Airdrop massive amounts (in this instance say 1 million of $BAIT to thousands of random wallets. (All those “I’m feeling generous today, drop your wallet address below👇for a surprise!” posts you see on Twitter, and many other ways they get addresses as well) Then your wallet sees: 1,000,000 $BAIT x $10 = $10,000,000 But the thing is you can’t sell it because there’s no real liquidity. There’s either: -No buy side liquidity (nobody offering SOL/USDT to buy $BAIT) -No pool at all, or a fake pool only the scammer controls. -Transfer restrictions coded into the token smart contract itself. So if you try to swap it: -You get “insufficient liquidity” errors. -You get scammed into approving malicious contracts. A real world analogy for this would be it’s like someone handing you a check for $1 million drawn from a fake bank. It looks valuable, but when you try to cash it, it’s worthless because the bank doesn’t exist or has no money.

From my own experience, you're just gonna have to go through registration, KYC, and AML checks to buy crypto. That's pretty much a standard requirement nowadays. Trying to use services without KYC might even get your bank card banned. Are you planning to buy crypto with fiat, right? Because if so, you'll be paying a card processing fee, usually somewhere between 5% to 7%. Then, on top of that, another 5% for the exchange itself, plus blockchain fees. And yeah, withdrawing crypto will also cost you a percentage. Personally, I pay 2.5% to top up my wallet with fiat, then I immediately set up an auto-convert to USDT option in Cryptomus, which you can do with zero percentages or fees. What's more, Cryptomus lets you withdraw any crypto without fees, so I just withdraw in whatever altcoins or Bitcoin I need. With this setup, the conversion happens at the current market rate because Cryptomus is primarily a crypto payment processing service. And again, I don't pay network fees. So, for fiat to crypto exchange, it costs me 2.5% in total. Now, about customer support: everyone's using AI these days, but I just post my question directly on the Cryptomus forum and an admin replies. It gets sorted faster that way. Bottom line, you need a strategic approach when working with any service, and that just comes with time and experience.

OkSeries5363

That's not how capital gains work at all? If you could swap to another asset and dispose of one without needing to realize capital gains, everyone could simply avoid capital gains.. forever? Eg, you buy 1000 USDT with Bitcoin thats in profit. When you sell the USDT later there will be no gains to realise so you have avoided tax. Already, as you bought 1000 USDT, so cost basis is $1000 and when you sell 1000 USDT the cost basis $1000. ($1000-$1000 so no capital gain.) You are realising a gain, you are simply choosing reinvest the gain in another asset? Going from BTC to ETH directly is functionally/economically the same as selling BTC for USD and then using your USD gains from BTC to buy ETH.

Hard to say in crypto. Feel like there are more tradfi narratives that are in play. Some are getting overcrowded like buying crypto for your treasury. Stables story still has room to run. What’s USDT going to do. DeFi still has room. Blue chips like AAVE will be strong $25B and profitable. Wait till more regulation gets defined and they should benefit. Hood and COIN are interesting. They counter each other. Both want to do perps. Both want to tokenize stocks. Coin has the rails but not the tradfi team/experience. Hood has tradfi piece, does crypto. Bought some rails. This is a growth business for them. Survive a bear better than Coin. I can do stocks, my 401K, doing prediction markets. Im sure there is other stuff.

TLDR: * Coinbase assisted the U.S. Secret Service in seizing $225 million in cryptocurrency tied to large-scale investment scams—the agency’s biggest crypto seizure to date. * The operation, involving the DOJ, FBI, and Secret Service, traced illicit funds through blockchain analysis and flagged over 130 Coinbase customers as scam victims. * Some funds were linked to 140 accounts on OKX, with many connected to scam operations in Southeast Asia. * Tether contributed by freezing 39 wallets and burning stolen USDT, then reissuing the funds to a Secret Service-controlled wallet. * The case showcases increasing collaboration between crypto firms and law enforcement to tackle fraud and recover assets.

Stake or dive into yield farming. Tbh, there are just plenty of ways to keep your crypto productive out here, even from your wallets. Personally, I lend USDT & USDC on Aave and Compound, and I’m also into Vaulta’s BTC staking via Exsat. Solid returns, low stress. Plus, a few exchanges are offering juicy APYs on certain stable pairs if you're hunting yield.

Personally I use an Exchange called OKX. You create an account and you automatically have your digital wallet activated. Once there you have to buy USDT or USDC to later buy bitcoin or any other crypto. You buy these dollars through a super secure P2P system, where you transfer your local currency to a seller (there are always reliable sellers that are rated by the app), the mechanism is so safe that if the seller does not transfer the USDT to you, the funds are frozen for him and transferred to you if you appeal (I have made more than 100 transactions and I have never had to come to that). Once with the digital dollars you will convert and transform your USDT to BTC. That is the easiest way, you can also buy in the trading area or leave an automated purchase order. But there are many tutorials on yt.

OP stated they are in the States. If you sell USDT or USDC, it’s reportable. You’ll get a tax document from the CEX. As you noted, it doesn’t really matter as long as the USDC doesn’t “break a buck”.

DarthBen_in_Chicago

You may not owe taxes, but using USDC or USDT is still reportable.

Ok, so your logic is: * The price performance and dominance are so bad, that *surely* this means it must reverse soon, and now is a good point to take an opposite position. This is...interesting logic...and the irony of you saying that I'M the one who doesn't know about investing is comical. * I'm not saying $ETH has NO value. I'm saying $ETH is massively OVERVALUED, because it ACCRUES barely any value (you can check the numbers yourself on how much L2s pay to the L1). * 53% of stablecoins live on Ethereum, and if you look [here](https://defillama.com/stablecoins/chains), other chains have been eating into Ethereum's stablecoin dominance. In any case, it DOESN'T MATTER that Ethereum has a shit ton of stablecoins, because again, it doesn't accrue much value from these. Circle accrues all the value from USDC, et. al, not $ETH. Tether accrues all the value from USDT, not $ETH. * There have been many alts before ETH, and many alts after ETH. Again, these alts have contributed to ETH.D tanking. Ethereum has actual competitors TODAY that are taking away a lot of its market share. You can check all these metrics yourself. * Ethereum is a BACKEND protocol that accrues hardly any value, and the market is clearly not giving $ETH any monetary premium as it does $BTC, because $ETH *is not money.* Again, look at eth/btc. $ETH is literally just a gas token...it's not some triple point asset, digital oil, world computer, or whatever other bullshit ETH maxis can come up with. No need to get all angry and triggered. I'm just giving you facts. Again, you can check ALL of this on your own time.

China is not that huge on USDT/ per the article you stated: https://fddi.fudan.edu.cn/46/19/c18965a738841/page.htm In 2023, the scale of capital flight achieved through USDT reached 12 billion US dollars, and the methods included false trade and virtual mines. Domestic investors hold USDT worth more than $5 billion through gray channels (Peking University Digital Finance Research Center), thereby diverting bank deposits. ----------------------- Also Hong Kong stablecoin regulation will start on August 1 2025. Tether will say bye bye to the Hong Kong market.

just put them on USDT or USDC and stake them, miles and miles safer

Actually, Tron's really good at what it does—stablecoin transfers are fast, cheap, and reliable. That's why it handles such a massive chunk of global USDT volume. It's become the go-to for cross-border payments and micro-transactions, and the energy rental system is pretty clever since people don't need to hold TRX to use the network. Here's the thing though—most of its activity is focused on these "boring" but essential use cases rather than flashy DeFi or NFT stuff that gets all the hype. For anyone who needs practical, high-volume transfers, Tron's strengths are honestly hard to ignore.

This post hits hard. I’m also in a very rough financial spot right now with my family. If anyone reading this is in a position to help (even small), I’ll repay however I can. USDT TRC20: TCC2Sjr1qMobUp18FjWvg7vwTYR1fQbaLP

I have a small capital of 240 USDT. currently spotting ETH and bitcoin on OKX. running bots for 1 week 0.3 USDT profit from bitcoin and 0.8 for ETH. not bad for small capital. its even lower if i staked it.

People who want ultra regulated, totally US controlled and domiciled stablecoins have had USDC as an option for years. USDC has less than half the market cap of USDT and a little bit over 1/9th the trading volume. I think that represents a reality for the type of stables Earth wants vs the stables that regulators would like for Earth to want, and it isn't surprising. There's more dollars held outside the US than dollars within (the eurodollar market, GPT it if you need details). Tons of people want dollars without the annoyance of US regulators. USDT will be fine. They're making stablecoins for that market--the people that don't want US control. Circle is making stablecoins for people that want their money in US banks.

Me, on Cardano I do Liqwid finance, currently 14%-18% APY on stable coins lendings (iUSD, USDM, DJED). Same APY or a bit more for those who bridge USDC and USDT to Cardano using Wanbridge (thus on cardano, you have wanUSDC and wanUSDT tokens, which you lend on Liqwid finance). In fact I have been getting more than 14% for 6months already. and : Strike finance (perps dApp, like hyperliquid), currently 300% APY for liquidity providers (there is a risk for this, so you get paid ) + great income for $Strike token stakers (47K Ada will be distributed in 2 days to stakers. That's twice the value for previous period, which was pre-liquidity pools opening). This is non custodial, and smart contracts have be open sourced and audited.

Someone will take the place of USDT if it exist the US market (most likely USDC). As for its impact on BTC, yes, initially the price of BTC will drop but it will go back up in very short time again.

Me starring at the Bitfinex BTC Long ratio & USDT.D wondering why normies think we are going to 130K next month 😭

https://fddi.fudan.edu.cn/46/19/c18965a738841/page.htm Q3 mentions the liquidity of USDT in China. https://www.int-comp.org/insight/stablecoins-the-new-epicentre-of-crypto-fraud/ Money laundering and fraud makes up a large percentage of circulating stablecoin. Notice the article only mentions Tron and USDT.

poginmydog

China. Most legally grey/illegal monies on crypto are in USDT form. Especially monies in Middle East and Asia.

MrTheums

Tether's exit from the US market, while potentially disruptive in the short term, isn't necessarily a death knell. The impact hinges on several factors: the speed and stringency of global regulatory adoption mirroring the proposed US bill, Tether's ability to maintain sufficient liquidity outside the US, and the market's overall response to a reduced USDT supply. The current top comments highlight valid concerns. A mass exodus from USDT could indeed impact Bitcoin's price, but this is more likely to be a volatility event rather than a sustained crash. The key will be how quickly other stablecoins, particularly those with robust audits and transparency, can fill the gap. Focusing solely on Tether's dominance overlooks the broader stablecoin landscape and its potential for shifting market share. Analyzing on-chain data concerning USDT usage and the migration to alternative stablecoins will be crucial in assessing the long-term consequences.

Quick question: If you are able to use both USDT and USDC where you live, which one are you using? and why?

punishGoalhanging

If South Korea have stablecoin regulation, then Tether will also leave. Maybe a red flag if Tether leaving every places that have stablecoin regulation? Canada has stablecoin regulation, Tether say bye bye EU has stablecoin regulation, Tether say bye bye Japan has stablecoin regulation, Tether say bye bye Hong Kong has stablecoin regulation, Tether say bye bye Singapore has stablecoin regulation, Tether say bye bye USA might have stablecoin regulation soon, which Tether can't meet the requirement and will have to say bye bye If more countries have stablecoin regulation or just make a simple law that say "all stablecoin in our country need to be delisted if they are not approved by EU/Canada/USA/Japan stablecoin regulation." Tether might not have any place left. Part of the reason why Circle is doing very well (stock) is that many people expecting it to take market share from Tether with USA stablecoin regulation near the passing line. Aka Selling USDT for USDC to be safe.

Hi, sorry to bother. I have some USDT on the Polygon network, but I don’t have any MATIC to cover the gas fee. Even 0.01 MATIC would help a lot. 🙏 My wallet address (Polygon Mainnet): 0x3B0599fdc878F5dCCa149Bb1882afC21c757c351 Thanks in advance if anyone is able to help me out!

According_Vacation26

I was thinking about USDT, actually

Familiar_Television1

If he wants to put 10K in ATOM ok, he can trade it and earn a bit. But most of his investment should be in ETH and LTC, and some in USDT to earn interests and have a safety net.

NoPurchase1296

It depends on what currency you use. Coinbase is already reasonably priced. If you want a lower price, you can go to the black market and buy illegal USDT

Notoriousrb

There are cheaper networks to use for USDT than Tron. Makes no sense anymore. Same as the TRX price.

I_HALIM7

That's mean you don't believe in any crypto currency other than BTC? ME personally i only use BTC and sometimes USDT
