Tether

Tether is the largest stablecoin issuer in crypto, and USDT is the most traded asset in the entire market by daily volume. The company’s decisions ripple across exchanges, lending markets, and the broader liquidity picture in ways that few realize until something breaks. The coverage here tracks what matters: USDT supply changes as a leading indicator of capital flows, reserve attestations from BDO and the question of when a full audit finally arrives, Tether’s Bitcoin treasury now sitting above 97,000 BTC, the profit numbers that make Tether one of the most profitable financial firms per employee in the world, and the enforcement actions that increasingly involve Tether as a partner rather than a target. The company’s relationship with US authorities has shifted. Tether now executes the largest enforcement freezes in its history at the direction of the Department of Justice, including the recent $2 billion USDT freeze tied to Iran sanctions. Coingo covers the freezes, the reserve moves, the lawsuits, the executive statements from CEO Paolo Ardoino, the political angle as Tether positions itself closer to US policy goals, and the structural question that never goes away: what happens to the entire crypto market if Tether ever fails to honor a redemption.
