Mi az a Poppin?

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating whether Tether executives committed bank fraud, according to a jelentést from Bloomberg. The charges may focus on Tether’s early days, when they allegedly lied about being a crypto company when opening initial bank accounts.

Per Bloomberg, three unnamed sources “with direct knowledge of the matter” claim that federal prosecutors are examining “whether Tether concealed from banks that transactions were linked to cryptocurrency.”

As of now, no criminal charges have been filed against Tether concerning the concealment of cryptocurrency transactions. However, Bloomberg reports that federal prosecutors have sent letters to individuals at Tether, alerting them of an investigation. Such notices signal that senior DOJ officials could be making a decision soon on whether charges are warranted.

In response to the Bloomberg article, Tether közzétett a statement which did not entirely deny the report but certainly indicated it was wrong:

“This article follows a pattern of repackaging stale claims as “news.” The continued efforts to discredit Tether will not change our determination to remain leaders in the community. Tether routinely has open dialogue with law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Department of Justice, as part of our commitment to cooperation, transparency, and accountability.”

At this point, regulatory scrutiny and USDT go hand in hand. The stablecoin recently came under fire after releasing the composition of its reserves. After years of maintaining that USDT was backed 1:1 with US dollars, the company recently reported that készpénz only makes up 3.87% of its reserves.

Furthermore, Tether is just months removed from a település with the New York Attorney General’s office over an investigation into Tether’s relationship with Bitfinex and the alleged cover-up of losing $850M in customer funds. Tether settled for $18.5M, admitted no wrongdoing, and agreed to the aforementioned quarterly reports on the composition of Tether’s reserves.

USDT is currently the third-largest cryptocurrency. At a $60B+ market capitalization, USDT makes up 57% of all stablecoins in circulation, towering over second-place USDC ($27B) by more than two times.
