Tether definitely has some strong supporters somewhere on the top of the hill. All this everlasting noisy around this coin and all these attacks and doubts are just a political show. Tether has some "license" for doing what they do now.

Hindenburg has doubts about the legitimacy of Tether’s backing due to the company’s sparse disclosures.

Tether has been referred to as a “stablecoin” in the crypto space due to the company’s historical claims that it was equivalent to $1 USD and was backed 1-to-1 by “traditional currency” reserves.

Since those claims that garnered it “stablecoin” status were made years ago, Tether subsequently revealed that its coin was backed only by a small percentage of traditional currency, and that much of its backing consists of holdings in commercial paper issued by unnamed counterparties.



I believe that today nobody imagines that Tether is really 1:1 USD. But I believe that this attempt is not just for someone who wants to drop the price, but rather to better understand the environment before entering. Exchanges that use Tether should have a Legal liability.
