🚨 BREAKING: The U.S. Senate sent a letter requesting immediate information from #Tether about their reserves, redemption process, issuance, and activities due to "several market integrity concerns" as stated by the PWG.

Tether has been given 10 days to respond. #Retweet

Question number 5. This is going to be so much fun! 🙈

Interesting Note: The letter is addressed to #Tether CEO Jean Louis van der Velde, who hasn't been seen/heard for quite time...

My guess is that #USDC probably received a similar letter. 🤔

Who is Senator Sherrod Brown? He is the Chair of the Senate Banking Committee.

Why is Senate Banking Committee important? It has jurisdiction over matters related to banks & banking, deposit insurance, federal monetary policy, issuance of redemption of notes, currency & coinage, etc.

This is the moment when #Tether is gonna lawyer up. Things are gonna get difficult for them. I don't expect them to respond on time. They will seek to postpone or not answer at all. This is a prelude to a potential Senate Hearing. They will not want stuff on paper...

🚨 CONFIRMED: Sen. Brown sent a similar letter to #Circle that operates stablecoin #USDC. Brown also sent letters to cryptocurrency exchanges #Coinbase, #Gemini and #Binance, as well as #Paxos which operates Pax dollar stablecoin; TrustToken, which operates the #TUSD stablecoin..

IMPORTANT FACT: In March this year, Senator Sherrod Brown sent a letter to Fed, encouraging Fed to take a lead on CBDCs, and dissing #Bitcoin and Facebook's #Libra. In other words, Sen. Browns actions are in sync with PWG and other regulators...

🚨 CONFIRMED LETTER: This is the letter sent to #USDC. It is the same letter as the one sent to #Tether.

For all the messages that I am receiving that claim this is fake and just FUD, here is the link to the letter from the Senate Committee: banking.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…

I expect a lot of ex-regulators who have started working for #crypto players as directors, consultants or lobbyists, to start resigning for "personal reasons".

▶️ El Salvador & Bitcoin Bond: Today, El Salvador is practically shut out of the traditional bond market. The only potential buyers of the new $1B "#Bitcoin bond" are small investors and #crypto enthusiasts. #Retweet 🧵1/4

The new bitcoin bond will have an annual coupon of 6.5% far below the prevailing interest rate on the country’s existing overseas bonds, which have seen yields spiral higher this year as investors baulk at the increasingly unorthodox direction of #Bukele’s economic policy. 2/4

The sell-off in Salvadoran debt continued on Monday, pushing the yield on a bond maturing in 2032 above 13%. The country has 10 international dollar bonds worth $US7.65 billion, roughly 30% of its GDP and about a third of its overall government debt. 3/4

@CFTC

🚨 #Tether is already violating the terms of its settlement with @CFTC. They are making public statement denying & misrepresenting the findings and conclusions of the CFTC Order. Please #Retweet. /1

They falsely claim that the CFTC order didn't find any "issues relating to Tether’s current operations." FALSE. CFTC scope of investigation included the time period from Jun 1, 2016 - Feb 25, 2019. Therefore, CFTC did not investigate any activities before & beyond this period. /2

#Tether falsely claims that "there is no finding that tether tokens were not fully backed at all times". This is not true. #CFTC has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Tether lied. Below is evidence from the Press Release, the actual Order, and the Statement by Commisioner. /3
