Will it be the biggest thunder in the currency circle?
USDT is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar and issued by Tether. Despite its important position in the crypto market, it has some worrying problems:
1️⃣ Reserve transparency issue: Tether has not disclosed the reserve of USDT publicly and transparently. We cannot be sure whether they really have enough US dollars to support the value of USDT. Once users lose trust, it may trigger panic selling. In 2018, the price of USDT once fell below $1, causing market volatility.
2️⃣ Legal and regulatory pressure: Tether was sued by New York prosecutors, accusing them of covering up a $850 million funding gap in 2018 and misleading investors. Although a settlement of $185 million was finally reached, it has brought adverse effects to USDT.
3️⃣ Advantages of competitor USDC: USDC, which is also a stablecoin, is more transparent and decentralized. Their assets are placed in custodial banks and provide audit information, which has been favored by more and more institutional and individual investors.
Diversify risks and choose safer stablecoins: In order to avoid this super black swan event, do not exchange too many assets for USDT. You can diversify your investments into some decentralized stablecoins, such as USDC, DAI, LUSD, etc., and also pay attention to whether their liquidity is good.
