Alistair Milne, a bitcoin investor and a financial analyst, shared his thoughts on the recent move by Tether. He states that Tether has now become a major holder of US government debt.
Tether announced on October 3 that the company has slashed its commercial paper holding by $50 million. The firm was also anticipating bringing it to zero by the end of the year. However, the company announced in a blog post yesterday that its commercial paper is now zero.
The stablecoin giant stated that it has cut off $30 billion of short-term debt without facing any losses. In the announcement, Tether speaks about its professional reserve management that made this possible.
Tether (USDT), has recently been popping up in the news for a wide range of reasons. But not all of it was for the better. The company’s former auditor was given a complaint for “improper professional behavior.”
The SEC had charged the company with engaging in “improper professional conduct” and “severe breaches” of federal securities laws. The stablecoin issuer was asked to present papers to the court in a proceeding in the meantime.
However, Tether has been pushing hard on its move to bring its commercial paper to zero. Stablecoins have been facing scrutiny ever since the fall of Terra UST. However, Tether has been trying its best to prove the stability and strength of its reserves.
