A stablecoin, but the reserves are the actual fiat
The Tether folks are in the early innings of running a massive interest rate trade. How I read this audit is they think the Fed will cut rates which crushes their interest income. In response, they are buying gold and $BTC that should in theory moon as the price of money falls.
A roughly 30% decline in the gold + $BTC position would wipe out their equity, and then USDT would be in theory insolvent. I'm sure some large holders and exchanges will demand a real-time view of their B/S so they can assess the solvency risk of Tether. Get out your popcorn, I expect the MSM to run wild with this, especially all the editors with TDS who want to shit on Lutnick and Cantor for backing this stablecoin.
Ofc no one cares about that
Bc fiat is going to zero
So they all getting yield from treasuries & governments love stables for that
Stabling is not helping anyone else
Buy Bitcoin, as always
All trades should be denominated in BTC or sats
Will get there at some point hopefully
It’s important culture shifts toward this
Not the Saylor culture of hoarding BTC & spending fiat
That is the literal opposite of what Bitcoin was created for
