The crypto market data tracker site has removed other companies in the past, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/bithumb\/\">Bithump<\/a>, Coinone, and Korbit, due to \u201cthe extreme divergence in prices from the rest of the world and limited arbitrage opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, one BTC is worth $6,056 on Bitfinex, while on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/coinbase\/\">Coinbase<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/bitstamp\/\">Bitstamp<\/a>, and \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/binance\/\">Binance<\/a> the coin is trading at around $5,735.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_103432\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-103432\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/tether-and-bitfinex-confirm-usdt-is-not-fully-backed-by-fiat-only-74-of-tethers-backed-with-cash\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-103432\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/tether-analysis-social-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"Tether and Bitfinex confirm USDT is not fully backed by fiat, only 74% of tethers backed with cash\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/tether-analysis-social-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/tether-analysis-social-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/tether-analysis-social-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/tether-analysis-social.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-103432\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Related:\u00a0<a title=\"Tether and Bitfinex confirm USDT is not fully backed by fiat, only 74% of tethers backed with cash\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/tether-and-bitfinex-confirm-usdt-is-not-fully-backed-by-fiat-only-74-of-tethers-backed-with-cash\/\">Tether and Bitfinex confirm USDT is not fully backed by fiat, only 74% of tethers backed with cash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Bitfinex has experienced a massive exodus of traders since the New York Attorney office <a href=\"https:\/\/ag.ny.gov\/press-release\/attorney-general-james-announces-court-order-against-crypto-currency-company-under\">announced<\/a> that it had obtained a <a href=\"https:\/\/ag.ny.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2019.04.24_signed_order.pdf\">court order<\/a> against its parent company. The investigation determined that the exchange engaged in a cover-up to hide the apparent loss of $850 million. Now the firm has been required to cease further dissipation of US dollar assets which back Tether tokens while the investigation continues.<\/p>\n<p>It seems like Tether holders have been exchanging their tokens for other cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/ethereum\/\">Ether<\/a>, and other <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/cryptos\/stablecoin\/\">stablecoins<\/a>, to move them out of the exchange.
