Tether will stop issuing loans secured by USDT

In response to a recent media attack, Tether, the issuer of the USDT stablecoin, said it would reduce secured loans in USDT reserves to zero over the next year.

Tether explained that stablecoin-backed loans work similarly to loans from private banks that use collateral. However, unlike banks that operate with fractional reserves, Tether loans are more than 100% secured, the company claims.

“Tether is managed professionally and conservatively, and this will once again be demonstrated by the successful completion of the lending business without loss, as all loans are backed by liquid assets,” the company said.

SEC accuses Sam Bankman-Fried of FTX fraud

Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) has been charged by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with defrauding FTX investors and using funds from clients of the trading platform.

Despite claims by the former head of FTX that he was "not good with numbers," the SEC alleges that he controlled investment and operating activities, communicated frequently with Alameda employees, and had full access to internal records and data.

Arthur Hayes Says Bitcoin Has Hit the Bottom

According to the expert, the digital asset market expects a partial recovery in 2023 against the backdrop of another launch of the "printing press" of the US Federal Reserve.

Changpeng Zhao: "99% of cryptocurrency users will not be able to store assets on their own"

The CEO of the Binance exchange supports self-custody, but emphasizes that it must be “do the right thing.” During a recent conference, Zhao noted that often users do not pay enough attention to storing wallet keys, which leads to the loss of either keys or assets in addresses.

“For most people, I think 99%, asking to hold assets on their own will result in the loss of cryptocurrencies. Most do not backup and lose devices, others do not pay attention to protecting keys. For example, the user writes the key on a piece of paper, and someone outside gets access to it, and funds are lost,” Zhao said.

Kevin O'Leary: "Binance deliberately killed FTX"

Shark Tank host Kevin O'Leary told the US Congress that he believes FTX failed because Binance intentionally put a competitor out of business.

Former FTX CEO Bankman-Fried told O'Leary that Changpeng Zhao and Binance owned a 20% stake in the exchange. However, instead of development assistance, every time FTX applied for a license from regulators in different jurisdictions, Binance stated that “it will not comply with the requirements of regulators to provide data that will give FTX permission to obtain a license.”

As a result, Bankman-Fried was forced to initiate a deal to buy back FTX shares from the founder of Binance for about $3 billion, which negatively affected the liquidity level of the entire group of companies.

“Binance deliberately forced FTX out of business. Maybe there’s nothing wrong with that… but right now, Binance is a huge unregulated global monopoly,” concluded Kevin O’Leary.

Irkutsk power engineers reveal the facts of cryptocurrency mining in residential buildings in order to go to court and collect fines. This was stated by Deputy Energy Minister Pavel Snikkars.

According to him, miners are calculated by the amount of energy consumption and the change in the load on the network.

“When it is suspected that a tenant is not using electricity for domestic purposes, an inspector is sent to the apartment to check the power installations. After that, the owner of the mining equipment is either issued a new invoice for the price of electricity for the business, or they go to court, ”said Snikkars.

At least 10 cases of successful recovery from miners of the difference in the cost of electricity for the population and businesses are already known, lawyers said.

Therefore, users should burn the tokens circulating on Ethereum and return them to the original blockchain as soon as possible to protect themselves from potential risk:

“Because compatibility between Ren 1.0 and 2.0 cannot be guaranteed, Ren asset holders should revert to native tokens as soon as possible or risk losing them.”

Ren allows bitcoin holders to lock up their holdings and create a wrapped version that can be used on Ethereum.

PlanB: “Bitcoin prepares for a 5800% rally”

A popular cryptocurrency analyst under the pseudonym PlanB, the author of the “stock-to-flow” model, again emphasized his confidence in the massive growth of Bitcoin in 2023 or at least 2024.

The "stock-to-flow" model is built on the ratio of the amount of an available asset and its price. Considering that Bitcoin periodically undergoes halvings, the model speaks of a large-scale growth of the first cryptocurrency. The analyst emphasized that he was confident in this model. It can only fail if “Bitcoin just dies.”

“If we assume that the 2019 model is correct, then given the price of bitcoin after the halving around $55,000, we will see an increase at the next halving. I take a very wide range, although many do not like it, but bitcoin will cost from $100,000 to $1 million. I am sure of this, so the current prices for BTC are just very profitable,” PlanB said during an interview with analyst Scott Melker (Scott Melker ).
