Tether has come under fire for its opacity about the assets in its reserve, with its first reserve breakdown coming in May 2021. The specific resources wherein the organization puts are as yet indistinct in the public reports. Due to this mystery, as well as the recent short-lived de-pegging, some investors rushed to swap their Tether for USD Coin (USDC), a popular US dollar stablecoin that was audited and already completely backed by cash and US Treasury bonds.
In reaction to the stablecoin incident, Circle’s chief financial officer Jeremy Fox-Geen wrote a blog post on Friday reiterating that the 50.6 billion USDC in circulation was entirely backed by cash and US Treasury bonds.
