What that means is, when I want to use crypto to buy crypto on an exchange, I\u2019m much more likely to be doing that in tether,\u201d Moore said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.kaiko.com\/kaiko-research-march-market-report-c72eb7fb2c8\">According to research firm Kaiko<\/a>, 68 percent of bitcoin trading against the dollar takes place by means of tether, with only 32 percent taking place against traditional fiat currency (dollars held in bank accounts).<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cTether\u2019s rise heralds a new paradigm in the history of money and payments\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This means that institutional investor flows into and out of bitcoin are still smaller than the flows involving crypto-native investors, many of whom are based in Asia, suggests Kaiko.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ratio of BTC-USD to BTC-USDT (tether) trading volume can be considered an indicator of institutional inflows into crypto, assuming that institutional investors prefer using regulated fiat exchanges such as Coinbase, as opposed to exchanges that only offer stablecoin pairs, such as Binance,\u201d Kaiko said in an end-March report.<\/p>\n<p>Binance, the world&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency exchange, <a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2021\/04\/12\/largest-crypto-exchange-moves-into-us-equity-trading\/\">yesterday announced it was moving into the trading of US equities<\/a> using its own native US dollar token, BUSD.<\/p>\n<p>According to Paolo Ardoino, Tether\u2019s CTO, \u201cTether\u2019s rise heralds a new paradigm in the history of money and payments. The elegant utility of Tether will power an array of apps across different devices throughout this decade. Tether is truly a trailblazer in technological innovation. The market has once again spoken on the most liquid, stable and trusted stablecoin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ardoino pointed out that Tether\u2019s market cap gain since end-2020 is greater than the combined market capitalisation of all rival stablecoins combined.<\/p>\n<p>However, <a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2021\/03\/11\/tether-reserve-mystery-drags-on\/\">mystery still surrounds the reserve backing of tether tokens<\/a>. Although Tether recently <a href=\"https:\/\/tether.to\/assurance-opinion-mar-21\/\">published an attestation from a Cayman Islands accounting firm<\/a> that tethers were fully backed by reserves at the end of February 2021, it did not disclose the make-up of those reserves.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cTether has a lot of work left to do on transparency\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In 2019, Tether backtracked from an earlier commitment to back its tokens only by dollars held in bank accounts and said that henceforth the backing could consist of other assets, including intracompany loans.<\/p>\n<p>This disclosure came after <a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2019\/04\/26\/ny-prosecutor-alleges-fraud-by-bitfinex\/\">the stablecoin issuer was sued by the New York State Attorney General for fraud<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2021\/02\/23\/ny-attorney-general-says-tether-lied-outright-about-its-reserves\/\">23 February 2021 settlement agreement, the New York State Attorney General said Tether had in the past lied outright about its reserve backing.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>As part of the agreement, Tether committed within ninety days to provide documents substantiating its reserve accounts.<\/p>\n<p>The token issuer said it would also verify it is keeping clients\u2019 money separate from its own operational accounts and those of Tether\u2019s affiliate company, cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex.<\/p>\n<p>According to cryptocurrency analyst John Paul Koning, Tether still lags on transparency when compared to other stablecoin issuers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s good to see that Tether, the world&#8217;s largest stablecoin, has belatedly adopted the industry standard of providing attestations,\u201d Koning <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jp_koning\/status\/1377225332718206978\">said in response to Tether\u2019s release of an end-February attestation report<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut compared to its competitors, Tether has a lot of work left to do on transparency,\u201d Koning said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCompeting stablecoin Gemini Dollar provides attestations that show exactly how customer funds are invested. But Tether&#8217;s attestations don&#8217;t tell us anything about the composition of its investments. Does it hold beanie babies? Risky loans?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTether will provide attestations each quarter. But what about all the time in-between? Other stablecoins already offer real-time attestations, so customers have 24\/7 insight into how their funds are held,\u201d Koning said.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/du6eTr\">Sign up here<\/a> for the New Money Review newsletter<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/blubrry.com\/newmoneyreview\/\">Click here<\/a> for a full list of episodes of the New Money Review podcast: the future of money in 30 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Related content from <em>New Money Review<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2021\/02\/23\/ny-attorney-general-says-tether-lied-outright-about-its-reserves\/\">NY Attorney General says Tether lied outright about its reserves<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2019\/08\/07\/untangling-tether\/\">Untangling Tether<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2021\/02\/18\/tether-has-to-open-its-vaults\/\">Tether has to open its vaults<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2021\/01\/10\/tethers-backing-could-be-disclosed-later-this-year\/\">Tether&#8217;s backing could be disclosed later this year<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2021\/03\/04\/bitmex-trials-could-throw-light-on-tether\/\">BitMEX trials could throw light on tether<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The volume of tethers in issue has doubled since the end of 2020 to over $45bn, despite continuing uncertainty over the largest stablecoin\u2019s asset backing.
