Tether is a cryptocurrency with tokens issued by Tether Limited, which in turn is controlled by owners of Bitfinex. Tether is called a stablecoin because it was originally designed to always be worth $1.00 maintaining $1.00 cash in reserves for each tether issued. Market cap: $69.43 Billion.
Yesterday Bloomberg wrote: “Where’s the $69 Billion backing the Stablecoin Tether?”
A wild search for the US dollars supposedly backing the stablecoin at the center of the global cryptocurrency trade – and in the crosshairs of US regulators and prosecutors.
Today www.crystobriefing.com published:
Tether’s elusive CEO has vanished from Twitter. Jan Ludovicus van der Velder’s Twitter account has been deleted. The deletion occurred shortly after Bloomberg published an investigation into the company’s USDT reserves.
