Tether increases amount of USDT in circulation amidst fears of USD backing reserves
Tether cryptocurrency whose token is USDT, tethers every USDT for one dollar of a reserve. And preferably in a 1:1 ratio of USDT to USD. Suspicion is growing because it has printed a total of $700 mln USD worth of USDT in January so far.
Some are claiming that with this high amount of money in circulation; it is possible that Tether does not have any backing of a dollar for every USDT as declared.
For instance, a prominent claim by Stock Emperor is that the amount releasing in circulation this month exceeds the total amount of money printed by US government which is around USD 540 million.
