According to data from the Treasury Department in March, Tether is the 19th largest holder of US Treasury bonds among sovereign nations, between South Korea and Germany. Former Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, called for regulation of stablecoins because Tether's holdings of US Treasury bonds support the digital fortress of the US dollar.
