Tether has said that they would invest "up to 15%" of their profits in bitcoin. This means Tether must have earned $1 billion this quarter. How modest of them not to disclose it.

#Tether must have bought roughly $160-$180 million worth of bitcoin for the value of their BTC to stay almost at exactly par ($1.676 bn vs. $1.661 bn) given that the price of BTC went down 11% from June 30th to September 30th. Kinda weird they didn't disclose this purchase...

In case there is any confusion, this not a new finding by the SEC. They have been saying it for some time. It is one of the key reasons they have kept refusing to approve a bitcoin ETF.

Yes, with the exception of Celsius, Blockfi, Nexo, Voyager, and Terra, "staking" has worked out really well, especially for retail investors.

1/ We're hearing rumors that the SEC would like to get rid of crypto staking in the U.S. for retail customers. I hope that's not the case as I believe it would be a terrible path for the U.S. if that was allowed to happen.

In the past month, the combined supply of $USDC and $BUSD is down 4.2bn while $USDT supply is up about 2bn. Also $MSTR is probably our of cash until their next equity offering. (1/4)

In the past 24 hours, the BTC/FDUSD pair on Binance was the highest volume bitcoin pair listed on coinmarketcap with $1.5bn, more than the rest of the top 10 pairs combined. That is especially impressive considering $FDUSD's market cap is only $409mm.

Does anybody know why Tether's attestations are all time-stamped 11:59pm UTC, when we are told their assets are in the Bahamas? Or why Circle's attestations are all stamped 11:59pm PST (8 hours behind UTC) when their HQ and custodian are in NY?

Isn't it interesting that since Tether began providing quarterly attestations in 2021, the growth in Tether's reported holdings of US Treasury securities has very closely tracked the growth in $USDC's market cap?

@Bitfinexed @NicheDown The idea that Tether has somehow been "vindicated" because they still exist is ridiculous. Only an audit could vindicate them and they still haven't gotten one. Harry Markopolos was not "wrong" about Bernie Madoff in 2000 just because the ponzi didn't implode until 2008.

If you are long you'd better sell above 220 while you still can.

Halving happening on a Friday night is perfect because the Tether cartel should be able to astroturf a low-liquidity wash-trading weekend rally.

Astonishing how effectively a bitcoin pump inspires complacency among the crypto plebs. Like "bread and circuses" in ancient Rome. Anyone know how to say "exit liquidity" in Latin?
