Topic: Who runs Tether? (Read 551 times)
Yes, it is run by Bitfinex.
Look at all of you. Coming to a forum online asking questions and throwing suspicions when a 5 seconds search on google asking "what is Tether USDT" and you will get simple answers. Stop spreading nonsense, I get so mad clicking threads and seeing ZERO good information.
What is this Tether at all?
I think not just a tether.
Coin others there are also like the tether that does not provide coin information

So the token issuance is not decentralized? Quite risky in this case.
i don't know who is behind the tether because i am not trying to deposit or withdraw tether. i only know that tether can be used to buy altcoin in usdt trade and to buy and sell bitcoin too of course. i see there is a withdraw option in tether but i am not yet trying because the fee is too expensive. in poloniex, the fee is about $2 (if i am not wrong) and in bittrex the fee is about $5 (if i am not wrong).
for that fee, i'd rather to used usdt for buying altcoin and selling in the right price that i want.

If you think that's a red flag then back your bags and run for the hills. There are many backroom deals and partnerships that the public doesn't know about so if that were true, I wouldn't be surprised. 
I'm not even sure I understand it, but I'm now guessing that.
1) Tether is a blockchain (?)
2) Someone must be securing it....but how?
3) Any exchange that uses Tether is backing it on that exchange??

I am not sure if this is correct but I reckon Bitfinex is the backer of Tether. If you have tether-fiat then Bitfinex the exchange has the responsibility to convert them to real fiat if you choose to. Whether they really hold all the fiat to support all tether-fiat is wholly another topic.
So do you likewise think Poloniex is the backer of Tether traded on Poloniex?I don't use Bitfinex much. Is their USD/BTC market done via the Tether blockchain too?

Tether is listed on Poloniex, so I presume Poloniex would have done some due diligence, but when i look at the Tether website, there is no information about who runs it or where they bank.
Who are they?

They claim to be transparent but there is no transparency at all. None
