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.

    Stablecoin Legislation Shouldn’t Force Issuers to Comply With Bank Secrecy Act: Rep. Tom Emmer

    In a potential sign of brewing tensions regarding key language in multiple stablecoin bills circulating in Congress, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) said this week he doesn’t believe stablecoin issuers like Tether should have to comply with the anti-money laundering Bank Secrecy Act—a major sticking point of both the Senate’s stablecoin-focused GENIUS Act, and the House’s parallel STABLE Act.  Including such a provision in the legislation could box out foreign issuers while favoring U.S. co...

    USDC Sets All-Time High Market Cap Above $60 Billion as Adoption Surges

    Circle USDC stablecoin market cap has hit a new all-time high, surpassing $60 billion for the first time. Artemis Analytics data shows USDC now has a 25.4% share of the stablecoin market, compared with 20.7% three months ago. But the digital dollar, which is issued by Circle, remains streets behind Tether. The total value of USDT currently stands at $144 billion—representing about 63% of this still-nascent sector. All of this comes against a backdrop of growing demand for stablecoins, not to men...

    PancakeSwap CAKE Jumps 37% Amid Meme Coin Resurgence and Binance Tether Delisting

    PancakeSwap, a decentralized exchange on Binance Smart Chain, has the largest trading volume over the past 24 hours—beating even Ethereum-based competitor Uniswap. And according to CoinGecko, all that volume has sent the price of its CAKE token surging as much as 40% in the past day. This comes after Binance delisted Tether from its centralized exchange, prompting an increase in Tether volume on PancakeSwap, and an unrelated surge of interest in meme coins on Binance Smart Chain. CAKE is up 37%...
