Tether Lambasts Media Outlets For False Chinese Securities Tie-Up Claims

Tether, one of the largest stablecoin providers, has recently issued a comprehensive rebuttal to address growing concerns surrounding the inclusion of securities issued by Chinese companies in the reserves of USDT. 
In response to reports published by mainstream media outlets, including Bloomberg , the company has sought to clarify its stance on the matter.

Tether’s detailed response aims to shed light on the situation, offering a deeper understanding of the company’s practices and the rationale behind its reserve composition.
