Tether's Scribble
ABOUT
- Tether, the company behind the controversial stablecoin of the same name, published a letter purporting to be from Deltec Bank and Trust Limited today, confirming that it has about $1.8 billion in its account as of October 31. However, the letter - dated November 1 - does not have a name attached to it, and the signature is essentially a curve.
- Coinbase’s head of trading, Hunter Merghart, has resigned after just six months on the job, according to individuals familiar with the situation.
- Dapper Labs, the company behind the development of the ethereum-based Crypto Kitties, just raised another $15 million from Google Ventures, SamsungNEXT and Andreessen Horowitz, as well as some groups not usually associated with venture investing such as William Morris Endeavour and aXiomatic.
- The New York Department of Financial Services has just issued its 12th BitLicense, this time to a bitcoin ATM operator called CoinSource.
