Tether Will Reduce its Commercial Paper Holdings to Zero
The collateral portfolio of stablecoin Tether (USDT) does not contain securities issued by Chinese companies. Its issuer has promised to reduce the share of commercial paper from the current $3.7 billion no later than November.
Tether CTO Paolo Ardoino has said that a year ago, commercial paper in USDT reserves reportedly amounted to $30.8 billion. In a month, the position in them will be reduced to about $200 million.
However, he has not provided supporting documents for the current composition of the stablecoin collateral.
The initiative is a commitment to the community to build a diversified risk-limited portfolio across individual issuers or assets, according to the issuer’s website.
