The disclosed documents outlined Tether’s banking relationships, which included accounts at Deltec Bank & Trust, Ansbacher (Bahamas) Limited, Capital Union Bank, and Far Eastern International Bank. Tether also held reserve assets in funds at Bradbury Investment and Metis Global Partners. In addition to reserves in US dollars, Tether held Bitcoin on Bitfinex, an affiliated crypto exchange, and had over $2 billion worth of reserves stored in gold.

The disclosed documents unveiled Tether’s substantial lending program, where loans in USDT were issued to third parties. By March 31, 2021, the program had reached $5.1 billion, backed by collateral in the form of digital assets or securities.



The quality of assets backing USDT has been a matter of concern given its significant role in cryptocurrency markets. With a circulation of around $83.5 billion, USDT serves as a crucial source of liquidity and stability for traders.
