Tether’s Banking Relationships, Commercial Paper Exposure Detailed in Newly Released Legal Documents

Stablecoin issuer Tether kept its funds in four banks, two investment management firms, two gold depositories, and a gold broker and on its own sister company Bitfinex in March 2021, according to documents obtained by CoinDesk. It also had funds in commercial paper issued by various entities. CoinDesk obtained the documents after a nearly two-year legal battle after Tether filed to block the NYAG from releasing them. In a statement, Tether said it “found it suspicious” that USDT depegged after millions of dollars’ worth were sold on decentralized finance pools “on the same day” that the New York government shared the documents with CoinDesk. "The Hash" panel weighs in on the documents.
