Talk:Tether

US Judge order
Stablecoin Issuer Tether Ordered by US Judge to Produce Documents Showing Backing of USDT. Things are getting spicy, should be added to the article once Tether releases stuff. Rabbitseatcarrots (talk) 15:23, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

USDT backed by gold
The Tether whitepaper says nothing about gold. They have a bunch of cryptocurrencies, when initially writing this article I really only focused on USDT because it is their most notable one and all the others work the same way anyway, though they do have a gold-backed crypto called Tether Gold (XAUT).

But anyway, thank you for expanding the sections on their CFO and CEO. Rabbitseatcarrots (talk) 18:06, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. See page 3 of the White Paper. I have added the citation for that statement. Bongolian (talk) 18:14, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I mean, it does mention gold, but it is unrelated to USDT's backing. It's mentioned referring to people selling crypto to gold and fiat to avoid volatility. Rabbitseatcarrots (talk) 18:31, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I just remembered, gold is part of USDT's backing. It's grouped together with corporate bonds and funds, together being supposedly 5.25% of the reserves as of June 2022, according to Tether's super useful attestations. Rabbitseatcarrots (talk) 18:38, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Well, gold together with other precious metals, not only gold. Rabbitseatcarrots (talk) 18:41, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
