Tether News

Tether is a stablecoin, a cryptocurrency whose value is pegged to the US Dollar and backed by reserves held by its parent company (in 2019, Tether admitted in court documents that it was only 74% backed by cash and cash equivalents). Most cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile; Tether markets itself as a relief from crypto speculation. In terms of trading volume, Tether is the most widely used cryptocurrency in the world.

    Tether Stops Minting Euro-Backed Stablecoin, Citing Hostile Regulators

    Stablecoin giant Tether has announced it will stop minting euro-backed tokens, citing regulatory hurdles in Europe. The crypto company said Wednesday that it has stopped minting Euro Tether (EURT) and that those holding the token have until November 25, 2025 to redeem them.  EURT has very small trading volume: a little over $2 million worth of tokens traded hands in the past day, according to CoinGecko. Compare that to Tether’s dollar equivalent, USDT, which is the most traded cryptocurrency wit...

    Tether Is So Closely Linked to Cartels It Trades at a Discount in Mexico: Report

Drug traffickers have turned to crypto, and USDT in particular, “as a way to quickly move wealth across borders in recent years,” according to a recent Court Watch report. Court records from multiple cases allege that criminal organizations—including the Sinaloa Mexican drug cartel—use such assets for large-scale drug trafficking. The news follows a recent...

    Bitcoin, Tether Bull Howard Lutnick Is Trump's Pick for Commerce Chief—Not Treasury

    Donald Trump has selected Wall Street billionaire and Bitcoin bull Howard Lutnick to serve as his Commerce Secretary, reports the Wall Street Journal. By doing so, Trump has rejected the investor’s reported push to run the Treasury Department, a position with far greater sway over the U.S. economy. Running the Department of Commerce is certainly no small prize for Lutnick, who is currently co-chairing Trump’s transition team. As Commerce chief—if confirmed by the U.S. Senate—Lutnick would handle...

    The European Central Bank (ECB) has challenged the idea that stablecoins are a “safe haven” for investors in times of market turmoil, finding they are actually highly impacted by U.S. monetary policy. The working paper examined the link between U.S. monetary policy, money market funds (MMFs), and stablecoins. “Monetary policy, in particular for the U.S. dollar, is the linchpin that connects crypto and traditional financial markets,” the authors concluded. The paper argued that stablecoins—which...
