Tether's Stability in Question as New Details Emerge Following Depegging and Release of Documents

June 16 (Cointime) - The digital currency world was shaken up after Tether (USDT), the largest stablecoin in the industry, was depegged and dropped to $0.9991 due to a loan issue on the DeFi platform Curve.

Tether Holdings Ltd has since issued a statement revealing new information about the situation, including the release of documents to Coindesk that show the company's reserves and asset management practices.

Tether has requested that Coindesk not reveal any information about its customers, and the industry is now waiting to see if the released documents will cause controversy and lead to further fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) surrounding Tether.

Coindesk has previously played a significant role in uncovering financial impropriety in the crypto industry, such as with Alameda Research, which led to the collapse of FTX.

  • FASB's fair value accounting standard for Bitcoin officially takes effect today

    On December 16th, according to The Bitcoin Historian, an editor at Bitcoin Magazine, the fair value accounting standards for Bitcoin by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) officially took effect. Previously, companies could only measure their held Bitcoin assets by historical cost and could not reflect their market value growth. The new standard allows companies to use fair value measurement methods to more accurately reflect the actual value of their Bitcoin assets, which will reduce accounting barriers for companies to include Bitcoin on their balance sheets. MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor previously stated that FASB has officially passed fair value accounting rules for Bitcoin, which will apply to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. This improvement will encourage companies to adopt Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
