Tether, the largest stablecoin issuer in the cryptocurrency markets, is seeking opportunities to distribute its substantial earnings. According to a Bloomberg report, Tether is on the lookout for places to allocate billions of dollars in profits. This news comes amidst speculation that the company may leverage its reserves for lending, particularly to commodity trading companies.
Tether Will Provide Loans
Tether consistently announces enormous profits each quarter. The latest Bloomberg report indicates that the company is searching for ways to utilize its billions in reserves. Based on insider information, these reserves may be considered for lending to commodity trading companies.
Tether maintains U.S. Treasury bonds as its reserve assets for USDT. These easily liquidated assets will remain in place as reserves. However, it is likely that the company’s surplus reserves will be directed toward commodity traders in need of credit. This situation does not compromise the safety of the USDT peg.
Previously, the company had indicated plans to purchase Bitcoin $101,470 with some of its excess cash but has been cautious about making significant investments. Considering the current discussions about lending to commodity traders, we can conclude that Tether continues to perceive risk in Bitcoin. Recently, Bitcoin’s price surged to $66,299, accelerating after the U.S. market opened, with altcoins like SHIB, DOGE, and SOL following suit, gaining over 5%.
