Tether: esportare il dollaro al mondo

 

Il ruolo di Tether nel mantenimento della dominanza del dollaro

L'importanza del dollaro è innegabile. Ma cosa succede quando il tradizionale sistema finanziario americano incontra difficoltà a penetrare in certe aree del mondo? È qui che entra in gioco Tether. Esaminiamo insieme come questo stia trasformando i mercati globali.

La visione di Tether: esportare il dollaro oltre i confini

Immagina di avere un prodotto eccezionale che desideri condividere con il mondo. Per Paolo Ardoino, il CEO di Tether, questo prodotto è il dollaro americano. In quelle regioni del mondo dove l'infrastruttura americana è solo un sogno lontano, come in molte parti dell'Africa e dell'America Latina, Tether diventa lo strumento di esportazione del dollaro.

"Si tratta di portare il miglior prodotto mai creato negli Stati Uniti al resto del mondo." Queste sono le parole di Ardoino nell'intervista a CNBC.

Tether Owns Billions In Chinese Debt: Bloomberg Report by Vishal Chawla

 A Bloomberg report has claimed to have found that Tether holds billions of dollars worth of Chinese commercial paper.

Investigation Raises New Concerns

Today, Bloomberg BusinessWeek reported that stablecoin issuer Tether owns billions of dollars worth of commercial paper issued by large Chinese firms and that it may be using these assets to back up its stablecoin reserves.

According to documents received by Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Tether has extended billions of dollars in loans to large Chinese companies.

The report investigated the quality of assets backing USDT, and alleged the debt assets supporting Tether dollar reserves may of questionable nature.

NYAG in open war with crypto lenders — and it wants Tether for dessert

 In another blow to the crypto lending industry, the New York Attorney General (NYAG) has sent two platforms cease and desist (C&D) orders and three other lenders inquiry letters this week, according to a Monday press release.

Cryptocurrency lending businesses, which regulators have previously considered as allowing US citizens to leverage unregistered securities offerings, are now formally viewed similarly by the NYAG.

The NYAG appears concerned that New Yorkers can buy, sell, and loan crypto products illegally offered via various platforms. 

Two unnamed crypto lenders issued C&Ds will have a brief period of time — 10 to 14 days — to ensure that New Yorkers no longer have access to their products.

Statement on Tether’s Settlement with the CFTC

Following several years of investigation and access to extensive information about the companies and their operations, the CFTC has concluded its review. The CFTC’s Order found no issues relating to Tether’s current operations. In fact, the Order related to certain disclosures about the reserves from more than two and a half years ago. As the Order recognizes, these issues were fully resolved when the terms of service were updated in February 2019.

As to the Tether reserves, there is no finding that tether tokens were not fully backed at all times—simply that the reserves were not all in cash and all in a bank account titled in Tether’s name, at all times. As Tether represented in the Order, it has always maintained adequate reserves and has never failed to satisfy a redemption request.
