Tether hired two senior gold traders from HSBC in early 2026. By March 31, both were dismissed weeks after Tether announced its first Big Four audit and paused a 20B USD fundraise. The company wanted to allocate 10-15% of its 20B USD portfolio to physical gold. USDT remains dominant with over 184B USD in circulation. https://cryptoslate.com/tether-built-a-gold-trading-desk-then-shut-it-down-weeks-before-auditors-arrive/ #Blockchain #Crypto #Tether #Stablecoin

current estimate $285 million possibly headed straight into the #DPRK or #IRGC nuclear weapons program, including $71.5 million from the "regulated" #stablecoin #USDC that could have stopped at least that much of this heist at any moment in the last 4 hours and just... chose not to do so.

remember that the goal of the #GeniusAct etc. is to make companies like Circle USDC *your* bank.

The announcement comes as the tokenized gold market approaches 5B USD, and as Tether Gold expands to the BNB Chain. https://www.theblock.co/post/395423/tether-taps-kpmg-for-first-financial-audit #Blockchain #Crypto #Regulation #Tether
