Tether USDT In Danger! US Senate calls for evidence from stablecoin providers



What do Tether, Circle, Paxos and Trust Token have in common? Right, they manage stablecoins - and now they have a letter from US Senator Brown.

The letter of November 23 reached Tether, Circle and Paxos as well as Coinbase,  Gemini,  TrustToken, Center and Binance. US received such a letter from the office of US Senator Sherrod Brown. Both the USDT (ether), the USDC (ircle) and the Pax (os) dollar and T (rust) USD are tied to one another in an almost unambiguous 1: 1 ratio. Almost as there can be slight tension as low as $ 0.01.


Are stablecoins a threat to the financial market?

Brown is now apparently compelled to voice his concerns about stablecoins based on a report from the president's financial markets working group. The letter to Circle (and interchangeably with the other companies) states:

Stablecoins pose risks to investor protection and various market integrity concerns. The increasing use of stablecoins by consumers and their importance in conducting digital asset transactions underscores the need for a better understanding of the basic workings and limitations of USDT. 

 

Brown's demands on the actors

That is why he calls on the company to make it a little easier to declare within ten days:


  • how the respective stablecoins can be acquired or exchanged and how they are created,
  • how many have been issued and redeemed since inception,
  • what restrictions there are when buying and selling,
  • what the market and operating conditions look like so that the players can deny the exchange of stablecoins in US dollars,
  • which trading platforms have “options, privileges or special agreements” with regard to the stablecoins
  • and what “internal reviews or studies” the actors have carried out with regard to the withdrawal of stablecoins and how this could affect the general financial market above a certain amount.

Brown appears particularly troubled by the $ 127 billion market cap in this space. The stablecoin growth, which was around 500 percent last year, worries him because of the “non-standardization” in this area, according to his own statement. Tether already announced on Twitter that they appreciate the interest of the legislators. In the further course it is said that the protection of the user has a high priority.

The currencies do not show any signs of these developments and, as their name suggests, remain stable even in these times .

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
