Tether Fails to Calm Jittery Nerves With Short Sellers Circling
Repeated assurances by the backers of Tether, the biggest stablecoin, that the token is backed by ample reserves and working smoothly haven’t been enough to reassure markets.
A so-called liquidity pool that allows traders to swap between the three biggest stablecoins still shows an elevated supply of Tether, with the token accounting for 65% of the total as of Friday. That’s an indication that investors remain cautious about holding Tether, said Edul Patel, chief executive of crypto investment platform Mudrex.
