The hacker used her account to shill a shitcoin. They then proceeded to create 2 new wallets(0x6739 and 0xD0B8) ~7 hours ago and spent 19,479 $USDT to buy 21.16M $Mubarakah. After the pump, the hacker has already sold 11.95M $Mubarakah for 43,520 $USDT and still holds 9.21M $Mubarakah($31K), for a total profit of $55K.

> 3. Stable coins have actual utility as a currency, while most other cryptos do not. This should be rephrased to: 3. People from other countries with bad local fiat currencies use USDT as a way to hold/access/spend USD.

tldr; Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin has surpassed a $1.3 billion market cap, achieving a 1,278% year-to-date growth. This surge is driven by a strategic multi-chain deployment across Ethereum and the XRP Ledger, enhancing accessibility and functionality. Partnerships with Gemini and Mastercard have further integrated RLUSD into institutional payment systems, positioning it as a competitor to USDT and USDC. Analysts highlight the benefits of Ripple's interoperable approach, which aligns with industry trends favoring scalable, cross-chain solutions. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

tldr; Stablecoin market caps, including USDT and USDC, have risen steadily, reaching new highs, but the broader crypto market has not grown proportionally. Factors include increased use of stablecoins for cross-border remittances, cautious investor sentiment, and a shift toward leveraged trading over spot accumulation. While stablecoins are seen as 'dry powder' for the market, much of their supply is absorbed into real-world applications rather than speculative trading, limiting their impact on Bitcoin and altcoin prices. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

tldr; Tether’s USDT stablecoin has been approved as an Accepted Fiat-Referenced Token (AFRT) by the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), allowing its regulated use across nine additional blockchain networks, including Aptos, TRON, and Polkadot. This regulatory milestone enhances USDT's interoperability and usability, enabling licensed financial institutions in ADGM to offer USDT in various services. Tether’s CEO praised the UAE for its leadership in crypto regulation, highlighting the move as a step toward advancing financial inclusion and innovation in the region. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

I’ve been DCA’ing about $500 a month, and I’m actually considering upping it. The sentiment right now feels kinda meh, which usually isn’t a bad time to accumulate if you’re long-term minded. Let’s see what things look like heading into the next halving. Also, unless we get a full-on market meltdown, I don’t really see how anyone’s hitting 4 BTC before then 😂 so don’t stress those moon-goals too much. I’ve also been using BingX’s recurring buy, super convenient, set it monthly and forget it. I also throw my idle USDT into their earn section to pick up some passive income on the side. But USDT depreciates recently, no harms done though to hedge against its depreciation.

USDT has the advantage of trading 1:1 with USD on Bitrefill. In contrast, if you use BTC then they're going to charge you based on the current BTC/USD market rate, and the rate they give may not be great. Note, however, that Tron fees are comparatively pretty high. If you can get it on an L2 chain like Arbitrum or Polygon then you'll save money (both are supported by Bitrefill).

tldr; Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes has raised concerns about Tether's (USDT) stability, warning that its large investments in Bitcoin and gold could make it vulnerable if markets drop sharply, potentially impacting its reserves and solvency. Hayes suggests Tether is betting on Federal Reserve rate cuts, which could reduce its interest income. However, CoinShares counters these concerns, stating Tether has over $181 billion in reserves, a $6.78 billion surplus, and $10 billion in annual profits, indicating strong financial stability despite market risks. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

For decades the dollar was: - a store of value - the main currency of world debt - the main trading currency. Many speculate that the dollar will collapse because: - the American debt is enormous and to pay it the currency will have to be devalued - there is an ongoing trade war with China and a weak dollar helps exports - America is losing its central role, and at least two commercial "factions" are being created, one that gravitates around the USA, and one that gravitates around China. If the dollar were to collapse, go back to the needs I wrote at the beginning and you will see the solutions - Store of value: gold, silver, perhaps platinum. To a lesser extent also copper and other commodities, because other commodities depend a lot on the quantity of industrial production, and a dollar crisis would create a crisis in consumption and industrial production. So gold and silver appreciate, other commodities also depend on other factors. For example, China is reducing its dollar debt and buying gold in its place (a move which also serves to weaken the USA). Bitcoin? Bitcoin is a store of value, but it is a highly speculative asset that is very tied to the United States. Therefore, Eastern countries, if tensions were to amplify, could ban Bitcoin or limit it or propose other competing cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin would suffer there and then, although I think it would pay off big in the long run. - Main world debt currency: here the situation is clear: countries that align with China, and there are more and more of them, will buy Chinese bonds instead of US bonds as a store of value. Cryptocurrencies could be considered a valid alternative store of value, but only for small percentages (in proportion). Keep in mind that these are fast-growing economies and that China is initiating ten-year expansionary policies even in Africa. - Main trading currency: There will be many. Stablecoins replicate the value of the reference currency, so their diffusion depends on the diffusion of the reference currency. If the dollar is less popular, USDT and USDC will be less popular. Maybe there will be more Chinese stablecoins. While Bitcoin is not a very suitable currency for large commercial transactions: you cannot receive a payment of a very large sum in bitcoin knowing that its value could drop by 30% a couple of weeks later, keeping a balance sheet made up of transactions of this type would be very risky. - Stocks: if the dollar loses value (inflation), US company shares lose value there and then, but then recover quickly. See 2022. But if US trade slowly loses its primacy, US companies will lose customers and therefore long-term value. - Shares of companies involved in energy production: these usually cope with the decline in purchasing power of the currency.

It's not obvious at all. Everyone said that soon federal reserve will start buying Bitcoin, but it never happened. They just put confiscated Bitcoin's to their portfolio, but don't plan to buy any with tax payer money, as understandably it would cause outrage when your nation is in deep debts. CBDC's aren't dead at all, either. They're already becoming a thing in EU and Asia, EU plans to roll out their ''digital wallet'' in a couple years, and hopes for widespread usage by start of 2030. US will do so as well eventually no doubt. And there are no stablecoins. Unstable asset doesn't become stable, just because you say so. And everyone knows Tether doesn't actually have that 100+ billions in some reserve, just recently they made over billion USDT out of thin air and immediately bought Bitcoin when Bitcoin was crashing.

Gold backstops the value of crypto tokens like Tethers USDT and XAUT. Tether added 26 tonnes of Gold last quarter, total gold stockpile over 116 tons.

Stablecoin routing makes sense but implementation details matter more than the pitch. The core value is just token swapping with payment abstraction, which DEX aggregators already do. Question is whether enterprise packaging creates real differentiation. Privacy for B2B payments is actually useful. Companies don't want every payroll transaction or vendor payment publicly visible. Competitors can analyze transaction patterns and supplier relationships from on-chain data. ZK privacy solves a real problem for enterprise payments. Our clients doing cross-border stablecoin payments constantly hit token mismatches. Sender has USDC on Polygon, recipient wants USDT on Arbitrum. Current flow needs multiple swaps and bridges adding fees and failure points. Router abstraction fixes this. The middleware concern is valid though. Adding another layer creates new dependencies. If AnomaPay goes down or has liquidity issues, payments fail. Enterprises hate dependencies on unproven infrastructure for critical flows. Fee abstraction is table stakes for enterprise adoption. Non-crypto users don't understand gas tokens. Deducting everything from payment amount in stablecoin terms removes massive onboarding friction. Devnet status is concerning for serious evaluation. Until mainnet with real liquidity and proven reliability, it's vaporware. Lots of projects have great whitepapers and terrible execution. Practical barrier: most enterprises doing stablecoin payments are still figuring out basic treasury and compliance. Adding privacy layers complicates legal and accounting workflows. Market might be smaller than the pitch suggests. Honest take: routing concept is solid and privacy has enterprise value, but succeeding requires solving liquidity, reliability, and compliance challenges way harder than the technical implementation. Watch for mainnet usage and enterprise case studies, not devnet announcements.

Everything uses energy, gold mining uses an enormous amount of energy for example. But to answer your question, yes and no. Yes, mining new blocks which in turn validates transactions on the chain uses a lot of energy by design. I hold Btc, but if I’m transacting or transferring funds I often/mainly move the amount I’m spending to USDT and spend or transfer that. The swap is usually done on a central exchange and that uses very little energy in comparison.

Personally, I’m trading on BingX, which offers pretty solid copy-trading and futures-trading features. Their Earn products are also quite good if you’re holding USDT and want to earn passive income. Overall, I’ve had a pretty good experience with the platform. However, if you’re a U.S. citizen, you may be restricted from using it due to compliance issues. I know many people prefer Coinbase, but that exchange generally has higher fees compared to other platforms.

tldr; Tether, a major cryptocurrency firm, is under scrutiny for its role in enabling financial crimes. Investigations revealed that at least $1.4 billion in Tether's USDT tokens passed through wallets linked to scams, hacks, and human trafficking, including the Huione Group, a known money laundering entity. Critics argue Tether should take stronger action to freeze illicit funds, despite its claims of working with law enforcement. Victims of scams involving USDT have suffered significant financial and emotional harm, raising questions about Tether's responsibility in combating crypto-related crimes. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Turns out Saylor already solved it months ago and barely anyone noticed: Strategy has a dedicated $1.44 billion USD dividend reserve in plain old cash and cash equivalents. That’s almost two full years roughly 23 months of the entire preferred dividend obligation covered in fiat, zero Bitcoin required. It’s actually kind of hilarious how over-prepared they were; they raised extra on purpose, parked it in dollars, and just let the loudest bear case of the year die of natural causes. No wonder the stock barely flinches on red days anymore and the gamma feels unbreakable this cycle. The forced-seller risk that haunted 2021–2024 is legitimately gone until late 2027 at the earliest. Personal aside while I’m here same late night session I also opened one of those Bitget onchain Mystery Boxes I keep a small futures position open there for hedging. Literally $500–600 in volume this month and I still got 22 USDT plus a random token drop.

I’d go with USDT, it’s been the most stable and reliable for me so far. The returns are consistent, and you don’t have to worry about price swings affecting your earnings.

uncapchad

Not much difference, just the set of coins/tokens (BTC, USDC, USDT, and USDG) + what OP said about rewards. Opt-in is not available to US Customers The opt-in coins/tokens are not "staked" on-chain which is what traditional staking does - locking up coins to secure the blockchain network. Although I'm not sure that staking on exchanges is actual staking. Bit vague on that. Staking is subject to regional laws so some US customers can stake

IBelieveIkeCanFly

It is lost, as others have said, but you have a little bit of recourse. If you sent USDT you can petition Tether to block those particular coins, so at the very least, while you don't get it back, you can stop the scammers from using some of the money taken from you. Don't just ignore it and move on like others are saying, go out of your way to report this, have it flagged, get every website involved reported and documented so this can't happen to others again, and so there's a growing chance that LE can find the people responsible.

Successful_Science35

Tether has and that’s why you can’t redeem USDT for fiat…

VicoxLegal

I completely agree with you, and it is a strategy that many investors who have been in the market for several years follow. Having a significant part in USDC/USDT (or regulated stablecoins such as EURC, USDP, etc.) gives a lot of peace of mind, especially when you have already lived through several cycles. I myself recommend to clients that, once they have managed to multiply their initial capital, they transfer 40-70% to stables and only leave “play money” in altcoins or Bitcoin. Regarding what to do with these stables today, the most common and safest options in 2025 are: CeFi with decent interest and low risk → Kraken → 5-6% on USDC/USDT → Nexo → up to 12% (with insurance and possibility of withdrawing whenever you want) → Coinbase → ~5% and very liquid DeFi “low-risk” (no strong impermanent loss) → USDC/USDT Pools on Curve + crvUSD stake → 4-8% realistic → Aave / Compound → 4-7% lending stables → Pendle or Yearn with conservative strategies → 6-10% without touching memecoins Tokenized RWA (Real World Assets) → Centrifuge, Maple → 8-14% lending to real companies with real estate collateral or invoices (the quiet “new boom” of 2025) Simply leave it in cold wallet or Coinbase/Kraken without touching it → 0% performance but 100% control and zero fear of exploits In the end the trick is: the bigger the bag of stables, the more you want it to yield something... but without getting into the roller coaster again.

Bitcoin slid as much as 8% to $83,824 in New York, bringing its decline since early October to almost 30%. Ether dropped as much as 10% to as low as $2,719, and is down 36% over the past seven weeks. The market downturn has been even tougher on smaller, less liquid tokens that traders often gravitate toward because of their higher volatility and typical outperformance during rallies. A MarketVector index tracking the bottom half of the largest 100 digital assets is down almost 70% this year. The crypto market is on shaky ground after a weeks-long selloff that began when some $19 billion in levered bets were wiped out in early October as President Donald Trump whipsawed markets with threats of higher tariffs, data compiled by tracker Coinglass show. That was just days after Bitcoin set an all-time high of $126,251. The automated closing of leveraged positions in crypto, such as the major event on Oct. 10, is sometimes referred to as a liquidation cascade. Traders use liquidation data to assess leverage in the system, spot risk appetite, and gauge whether a market wipeout has truly cleansed excess speculation. But the numbers they rely on may be incomplete. Industry insiders have said exchanges restrict the full liquidation data they share, making it hard for traders to know how much leverage is truly in the system. “It’s a risk off start to December,” said Sean McNulty, APAC derivatives trading lead at FalconX. “The biggest concern is the meager inflows into Bitcoin exchange traded funds and absence of dip buyers. We expect the structural headwinds to continue this month. We are watching $80,000 on Bitcoin as the next key support level.” Digital assets also felt the broader macro shifts rippling through global markets, as equity traders in the US start the week on the backfoot. Japanese stocks fell and the yen rose as Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda sent the clearest hint yet of a rate hike this month. “As December kicks off, investors are focused on the path forward for global monetary policy,” said Karim Dandashy, an over-the-counter trader at crypto trading firm Flowdesk. “With the Fed now expected to be cutting again after a brief panic last week that saw December odds drop to 30%, and now the BOJ looking more likely to be raising rates to counter the moves we’ve seen in JGBs.” On Monday, Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc. said it had created a $1.4 billion reserve to fund future dividend and interest payments, in a bid to temper fears that the Bitcoin accumulator may be forced to sell some of its roughly $56 billion cryptocurrency haul if token prices continue to fall. The company’s mNAV — a key valuation metric comparing the firm’s enterprise value to the value of its Bitcoin holdings — sat at about 1.11 on Monday, according to its website, spurring investor fears it may soon turn negative. If that were to happen, its CEO Phong Le had suggested last week that the firm could sell some of its Bitcoin. Shares of Strategy tumbled more than 10% on Monday, and are now down around 66% since reaching an all-time high in November 2024. Strategy raised the yield on its variable rate Series A perpetual “Stretch” preferred stock to 10.75%. The dividend is payable monthly. Meanwhile, US spot Bitcoin ETFs took in a modest $70 million last week, after roughly $4.6 billion in outflows over the past month, Bloomberg data show. Most of the pressure has come from the iShares Bitcoin Trust, where investors have pulled money for five straight weeks, the longest withdrawal streak since the fund launched in January 2024. The week ahead is set to offer a crucial snapshot of US economic momentum as policymakers weigh the trajectory of interest rates heading into 2026. Data is likely to shape expectations for whether the Federal Reserve continues its rate-cutting cycle. US President Donald Trump on Sunday said he had decided on his pick for the next Fed chair, after making clear he expects his nominee to deliver interest-rate cuts. Meanwhile, S&P Global Ratings last week downgraded an assessment of the stability of USDT, the world’s largest stablecoin, to its lowest rating, warning that a drop in Bitcoin’s value could leave the token undercollateralized. Further uncertainty came from the People’s Bank of China, which on Saturday issued a warning about the risks of virtual currencies including stablecoins, adding that government agencies should deepen coordination to crack down on illegal activities. However, Flowdesk’s Dandashy added that there seems to be “a light at the end of the tunnel” as the market enters the end of the year. “Whether economic data can get in the way of those expectations right now seems to be most important for a year end risk rally,“ he said. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Oh, boy, if USDT and his "scheme" collapses, we could see BTC $25K

Stablecoin is backed by what? .. This has been obvious since USDT became so prominent in their ultra sketchy “attestations”.

New toy for daily price watching degens: [https://www.coinex.com/en/dual-investment](https://www.coinex.com/en/dual-investment) It's a sort of "bet on the future price" that looks mostly like a limit-buy or limit-sell for BTC/USDT or ETH/USDT, but it also has a fixed-income component, a sort of interest that you earn no matter if your price prediction comes true or not. No leverage, no risk of total ruin, just "limit orders with benefits". If the prediction comes true over the chosen period, you get the benefit of buying at that lower price or selling at that higher price, with zero fees, (but also risk paying the opportunity cost of missing an even more extreme price movement that might happen in reality over that same interval, since the funds are locked, so it's like a limit order you can't cancel), and aside from that you get a fixed interest component on your bet amount no matter what. It's not going to get you the perfect profit you could possibly make over every future interval, but then again who can claim they're usually making perfect trades when they have a free hand and the funds aren't locked into this kind of "bet"? It could be a way to slow your price checking cycle, set a few days aside where you're not looking at it anymore because your bets are placed, your funds are locked, and what's gonna happen is gonna happen, at least you know you're getting that fixed interest component, and those are some quite attractive APY values on there, some of them even triple-digit (but of course those only show up for shorter terms of less than a week, and very small target price moves where you don't stand to make any significant profit if the crypto trade side of it triggers).

Ripple Labs (RLUSD) and Circle (USDC) are going to feast on USDT’s corpse. Folks should get it in on those stablecoins’ native chains. The volume is going to create some nice organic flywheel utility for their native tokens operating as gas, etc.

I hear you loud and clear—it's easy to stare at those bleeding charts and feel like the party's over, but zoom out, and the fundamentals are screaming "not even close." Crypto's always been a marathon of building through the noise, and these alts you're highlighting? They're not just surviving; they're laying tracks for the next leg up. Let's break it down quick, because yeah, the long game looks bullish as hell.Chainlink's basically the unsung hero gluing TradFi to blockchain. Their Sibos 2025 announcements with Swift, DTCC, Euroclear, UBS, and a whole squad of 24 heavyweights on corporate actions processing? That's not hype—it's solving a $58B annual headache with oracles, AI, and onchain data flows. Banks aren't dipping toes anymore; they're diving in, and LINK's the bridge. Charts might dip, but partnerships like that don't vanish in a bear market.Cosmos? IBC's evolution is pure fire for interoperability without the middleman BS. That EVM connection via IBC isn't some half-baked hack—it's live and scaling, with Cosmos EVM now packing parallel execution, mempool-level IBC compatibility, and hooks into Ethereum L2s like Base. Sovereign EVM Day in Cannes this year showed XRP, TON, and even Telegram apps bridging over native IBC—millions of users unlocking multichain without centralized gatekeepers. If alts need a "real bridge," this is it. ATOM's primed for that coordination-layer glow-up.Ondo Finance is straight-up tokenizing the boring-but-bankable stuff TradFi hoards. Their $250M Catalyst fund with Pantera Capital, dropping into RWA infra? That's fuel for bonds, stocks, and real estate going onchain, with BlackRock's BUIDL already backing OUSG for instant settlements (they shifted $95M+ there earlier this year). Larry Fink's calling tokenization "the next step," and Ondo's riding that wave with daily-yield rOUSG tokens. RWAs aren't a fad; they're the on-ramp for institutions tired of T+2 delays.Solana's the revenue beast proving L1s can actually make money without choking on fees. Q1 2025 alone? $369.5M—163% YoY jump, smoking Ethereum's $220.8M. Full-year run-rate hit $2.85B through September, with Jito tips and memecoin launchpads (shoutout Pump.fun's $475M haul) driving 55%+ of it. ETFs launched in October pulled $380M inflows in weeks— that's institutional validation for a chain handling real activity without the gas wars. SOL's not just fast; it's profitable.And Sphinx Protocol? Underdog alert—this one's tailor-made for plebs craving commodity plays without the exchange overlords. Built on its own permissioned L1, it's slinging 24/7 perps, futures, and options on oil, gas, electricity with atomic settlement, cross-margining (freeing 99% capital via BTC/stablecoin pairs), and fees slashed 90%. No more T+2 lockups or counterparty roulette; it's onchain efficiency for energy derivatives that could hedge real-world volatility. If RWAs explode, Sphinx is the DeFi gateway for normies dipping into gas/oil without a broker.You're spot on: these aren't centralized vaporware—they're decentralized machines built to outlast the hype cycles, just like BTC did. Sentiment on X echoes it too—folks calling out the Dec 1 bloodbath as rebalancing noise, with alts eyeing recovery once BTC dom stalls and USDT dom rejects higher. Blink, and we're in perma-uptrend mode again. HODL the vision, my friend—2026's gonna reward the builders.

As long as you don't hold tethers its fine. Just don't leave a lot of money sitting around as USDT. Smart financial people know this. Tether isn't btc and it definitely isn't dollars.

Go take a look at the USDT.D chart and see where it stalled out every time we made a new ATH. That is your answer.

> They are pegged to the dollar. They don’t need to beat inflation. Tether is a business endeavor of iFinex, they do need to make profits and if these profits do not beat inflation, it means they are not making profits. Their peg is only a feature of their product (USDT), that keep people using this service. If you want some kind of public service where profits are not required/abstracted, you want to involve a government, not a business... so is your answer, Tether should not be a business after all of this? > They need to run their business on tight margins and they’ll still get billions per year. interest on cash equivelents and fees are their moneymakers. Sure, try to convince their shareholders that they should be content with the minimum yield possible and the risk of not getting profits if inflation outpaces whatever they could get... that's just not how businesses work in liberal capitalism. > Saying they have 80% in cash and cash equivalents seems really bad to me. I think they’re claiming its higher. Not for 2025. That's likely one of the reasons their rating got decreased. They are taking more risks, they are betting on a recovery after the current downtrend, and they certainly are not alone on this. But I agree with you that they take more risk than they should, hence my avoidance of that asset as much as I can. But it's totally understandable that people can factor all of these risks and still use it (because it's most liquid, most convenient/prevalent on the market, has less oversight than other stables that are more ingrained US banking like USDC). > Having stablecoins backed by any amount of crypto also seems really bad to me. Any run on one, will coincide with a run on the other. > To prevent a collapse if users and arbitrage don’t cover the spread, then they need to buy it back immediately. If it dropped just a few points it would take a massive amount of money very fast to maintain confidence. This seems like a difficult thing to do amidst some sort of market panic event. This has been tested multiple times, events like FTX or COVID didn't really impact the peg as iFinex manages the supply based on this and preserves it. If they were just printing USDT "out of nowhere", such events would be noticeable on USDT's price history as liquidity is key in such cases.

diradder

Anything longer than 90 days (and arguably less these days, thanks to Trump) would be cash equivalent...but I doubt that's what you would suggest to be the new business model for Tether... you can't be serious? > They would need an outside independent audit to prove their holdings. Seems like the attestations they produce are enough for the majority of the market, almost like the assumed risk of a mostly unregulated market is taken into account. > Until they do that, they are just creating coins from nowhere. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. But again, I wouldn't put any serious amount in USDT, they do need a full audit, the attestations are nice, but not satisfactory for my own risk management (hence my avoidance)... I'm just annoyed at unsubstantiated claims, this subreddit loves its Tether FUD and it's just circle-jerky about this.

diradder

> Investing in government bonds and low risk vehicles. That's far from "cash or cash equivalents". > Not just creating USDT from nowhere and doing who knows what with the real assets. If you could actually substantiate these claims, the USD peg would fail pretty quickly... there's a reason why it hasn't in so many years, even when they were having huge banking issues few years ago. It's still not as transparent as it should, but these unsubstantiated claims, repeated over and over without actual evidence are getting just as annoying as the imperfect transparency at this point.

ColdOverYonder

Investing in government bonds and low risk vehicles. Not just creating USDT from nowhere and doing who knows what with the real assets.

Tech_recycle

It’s not about how much money is worth. It’s about how many coins you can actually accumulate by trading some of it. I never look at selling or buying opportunities I look at chances of converting some to USDT and waiting for good time to add more to it. once I achieve my goal I can set another one. Strategy I use is every time it hits ATH I sell .5 Once it crashes to my support levels I use those funds to add to my bag.

Hidden5G

Tether’s CEO is basically trying to shout down criticism, but none of that fixes the real issues they’ve created. A ratings agency saying the backing for USDT is getting riskier, not safer. They also said Tether still isn’t fully transparent about what really backs the coin and doesn’t clearly separate customer funds from its own. And here’s the simple truth…if Tether could pass a real, independent audit, it would’ve done it years ago. Fact. Period. The only reason they haven’t is because they can’t or won’t. So no matter how loud the CEO talks, the problem stays the same…you can’t replace real transparency with attitude. btw…USAT doesn’t change anything ..everyone sees/knows why it exists, and their ties to Tether will be judged all the same by the agencies. Let’s not forget…USDT still holds a D rating from Bluechip..and is restricted in parts of the world for a reason. No amount of word salad from the CEO fixes the fact that these limits exist because THEY chose not to comply.

shibe5

As I understand, only direct Tether customers can redeem tokens for underlying assets. But note that Bitcoin can't be officially redeemed for anything at all, and it still has value and can be used for payments. Let's put aside value and backing aspects. What I'm more interested in is whether Tether can prevent any particular entity/individual from receiving and making payments in USDT and its other tokens.

It’s really not that surprising once you understand how these ratings work. EURC scores higher mainly because it’s held to much stricter European rules, with clearer oversight, cleaner reserves, and better transparency. Unfortunately USDT on the other hand, has a long history of being opaque about what backs it and still doesn’t provide full independent audits. So even though USDT is way bigger and used everywhere, that doesn’t make it safer. EURC just follows tighter rules and shows its backing more clearly, and that’s exactly what these rating systems reward.

**Summary:** Two South Korean police officers were indicted for accepting bribes from operators of illegal crypto exchanges involved in a $186 million money-laundering operation linked to voice-phishing scams. * Police Superintendent "F" received $59,000 and Officer "G" accepted $7,500 in cash and luxury goods between July 2022 and February 2024 * In exchange, they provided investigative information, helped unfreeze criminal accounts, and facilitated connections with lawyers and other law enforcement * Both officers have been stripped of their positions following arrest The Criminal Network: * Operators ran illegal crypto-for-cash exchanges disguised as gift-certificate stores in high-traffic areas * Converted criminal proceeds from voice phishing scams into USDT stablecoin * Maintained a facade of legitimacy with "Beware of Voice Phishing" warning signs * Authorities froze approximately $1.1 million in illicit assets, including $600,000 in USDT The case is part of a broader pattern of crypto-related corruption involving law enforcement worldwide, with similar cases recently reported in India and Iran.

tldr; Binance's Bitcoin reserves have dropped significantly, while stablecoin holdings, particularly Tether (USDT), have surged to record levels. Analysts interpret this as a bullish signal, suggesting investors are preparing for a strong market re-entry. The combination of reduced coin supply and increased stablecoin reserves indicates traders are waiting to deploy liquidity, potentially fueling a major market move. Despite current selling pressure, the buildup of stablecoins on exchanges points to optimism for future growth in the crypto market. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Tether buying record gold right after getting slapped with a ratings downgrade is peak crypto theater. It's like watching someone buy a fire extinguisher after the kitchen smoke alarm goes off, polymarket’s USDT depegs odds aren’t high yet, but moves like this are exactly how those charts start bending

DrSpeckles

And anyone who’s trading crypto. Pretty much everyone buys and sells by swapping with USDT. A better comparison would be USDT volume to total USD volume.

lexxwern

USDT has infinite supply, as it is backed by USD. BTC is fixed supply.

Fishherr

I've studied USDT.D, USDT, Bitfinex & IFinex for awhile now. But what really happened was, Bitfinex didn't wanna give out customer data & never received the tokens back. USG Still holds them. My personal belief is, Whales like "Spoofy" & others on Bitfinex, aren't actually customers (It is actually Bitfinex, Gian Carlo & Paolo doing these moves. If you don't believe me, overlay the Bitfinex long rate with BTC and see the inverse correlation.) Therefore, nothing to report or at-least a small percentage. There are some great court documents explaining this. \^ Bitfinex & Tether move the market a lot. Like a lotttt.. And if you don't understand, watch USDT.D while BTC rises & Drops. Tether prints USDT usually to Pump BTC in the bull, and burns it off after. This is why you see rapid peaks then rapid corrections.

Hidden5G

Tether has a stable coin rating of D from Bluechip, due to its continuous full audit avoidance. USDT is also restricted in parts of the world because regulators don’t consider it compliant or transparent enough. In the EU, new rules pushed major exchanges to remove or limit USDT trading, since it doesn’t meet stricter standards for reserve clarity and oversight. Some regions allow people to hold or withdraw it, but trading pairs are being phased out. regulators don’t fully trust how USDT handles its backing and reporting, so its use gets limited wherever laws tighten.

chartsguru

From an insider: USDT aims to reintroduce USD stablecoin for God knows what reasons.

eyesonmyface

Tether diversifying into gold is a strategic move amid dollar volatility. While they're marketing it as "pivoting away" from USD, it's likely more about risk management and asset backing diversification rather than abandoning the dollar peg entirely. This highlights an interesting evolution in stablecoins - from purely fiat-backed to more complex reserve structures. Worth watching how this affects USDT's stability and market perception, especially with regulators increasingly scrutinizing stablecoin reserves. Remember: despite the headline, USDT remains primarily dollar-backed. This is an adjustment to their reserves, not a fundamental change to the stablecoin's purpose or peg.

Historical-State2045

I do this to, but I was wondering say if you were to sell your btc. Is it recommended to convert it back to USDT ? Or would you just sell it and receive in USD? sorry im a beginner and not too farmiliar with this

Able-Upstairs-9875

I use P2P on Binance to buy USDT and then convert to BTC

RetiredAvocado

Why do you use USDT?

Disastrous_Week3046

Comparing USDT to Visa is irrelevant. They aren’t doing the same things. USDT is printed out of thin air and used primarily by criminals. No one’s using USDT to pay for shit, it’s for money laundering.

twixx09

Conversational Stablecoins have definitely shown impressive transaction volumes! But I wonder if comparing them directly to Visa is a bit apples-to-oranges? Visa processes billions of small daily transactions while stablecoin transfers tend to be larger and less frequent. Are you thinking about this from a total volume perspective or something else? Been watching USDC and USDT's growth myself and it's pretty wild.

L4ur3nsk1s

I know many still think of stablecoins as just holding assets between trades, but they've quietly developed into a payment powerhouse. Last quarter, USDT alone processed more transaction volume than Visa globally. The efficiency is undeniable - cross-border settlements in minutes instead of days, and fees that make traditional finance look ancient. Just be aware of the regulatory uncertainty hanging over stablecoins right now. The Treasury and SEC keep threatening new rules that could drastically change how they operate. Worth monitoring if you're using them for more than just trading.
