Tether's 1.48B profit equates to a 7.9%APY This is 67% higher than the risk-free rate. The 7.92% APY alone should already ring some bells! Most likely the extra return is associated to risk. Risk that is taken by the depositor.

USDM is now truly permissionless. If you are still paying the 5% stablecoin tax to USDC/USDT, you now swap for USDM, and keep it yourself. No additional trust assumptions. Not financial advice.

Stablecoins and Tesla both have the same market share. 1:150 cars is a Tesla. Everyone agrees Tesla and EVs are the future. 1:150 US dollars is a stablecoin (peaked at almost 1:100) Still so many people think crypto has no value. Why?

Using plain Basel III, Tether is undercapitalized by 24%, or ~$750M This is not as bad as it seems, since it will probably make that in Q2 just from the T-Bill portfolio, unless Bitcoin aggressively goes down in price.

This -40% performance is unlike any other major asset class in Q1, as seen below. This raises the question: Is this token speculation? Is this startup equity? What is "Other"? What we do know is that it is not a mainstream investment that would make it into most portfolios.

Now, if we adjust Basel III's aggressive cryptocurrency risk weight and assume Bitcoin matches Gold, the scenario is even better: Tether becomes overcapitalized by 36% (or ~$650M). This means Tether has better capital ratios than most (all) traditional banks.

What does this mean in practice? It depends: "What is really in the collateral in Tether?" In particular, what makes up the "Secured loan" and especially the "Other" categories. Transparency on reserves (CUSIPs) would be highly welcomed.

As seen in the first figure, USDT is trading at a premium The market is commanding 1.37% higher APY to take USDT risk. This means that non-USDT suppliers believe that USDT could go to zero BEFORE the next 51 years, all other things being equal.
