KPMG has audited Tether’s accounts and confirmed a reserves surplus of 6.8 billion dollars
KPMG has just made a decision on Tether. The independent audit firm grants the highest rating of “no reserves” to the USDT issuer, confirming that its reserves exceed its obligations by $6.814 billion as of December 31, 2025. The world’s most widely used stablecoin has just passed a real test. Not a simple technical check.
KPMG certifies that Tether’s reserves exceed its obligations by $6.814 billion by the end of 2025.

The audited entity is only a subsidiary; the parent company of the Tether group has still not been audited as of today.
Stablecoin: what KPMG’s audit of Tether truly confirms
$6.814 billion. That is the surplus that Tether shows between its reserves and the related obligations for its tokens in circulation as of December 31, 2025. But the real change isn’t in the amount. It’s in the method. Until now, Tether published quarterly certificates—an instant photo at a specific point in time, taken by a third party over a perimeter defined by the company itself. A full audit is something else. KPMG reviewed:
Every gold bar owned by Tether, rather than limiting itself to the custodian’s records.
This difference changes everything for a stablecoin, because for years the question surrounding Tether (USDT) has remained the same: do the reserves really exist, in the proportions announced? For the first time, the answer no longer comes from Tether. It comes from a Big Four firm that stakes its own reputation on what it certifies. It’s this shift—from validated internal controls to binding external auditing—that justifies calling it a turning point here, rather than a simple communications update.
