We bought bitcoin for our clients at about $9,300, so that worked very well through 2020. And we expect it to work well in 2021 as the liquidity crisis continues to run hot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Data shows that Tether\u2019s USDT stablecoin has a circulating supply of 24.3 billion tokens. On top of that, Tether\u2019s transparency page shows 40 million EURT, 23 million CNHT, and 47,600 XAUT are also in circulation.<\/p>\n<p>Each stablecoin Tether issues is pegged to the value of a fiat currency. USDT is pegged to the value of the USD, and according to Tether its reserves include \u201ctraditional currency and cash equivalents,\u201d and from \u201ctime to time\u201d they may include \u201cother assets and receivables from loans made by Tether to third parties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Deltec\u2019s move, as Decrypt reports, has seen some question whether USDT is at least in part backed by BTC. Deltec, however, is believed to have various other clients in the cryptocurrency space, including popular derivatives, exchange FTX.<\/p>\n<p>Larry Cermak, director of research at The Block, has said that the \u201cvast majority of market makers, OTC desks and exchanges\u201d have bank accounts at Deltec, which could mean the firm has been buying BTC for other clients and not Tether itself.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex, which shares management with Tether, is rumored to own a large stake in Deltec.<\/p>\n<p>Featured image via Pixabay.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cryptoglobe.com\/latest\/2021\/01\/tethers-bank-discloses-large-position-in-bitcoin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deltec, the Bahamas-based bank that holds the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":108543,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
