Digital Currency Market Stabilizes as Tether Regains, Real BTC Price at $6,549

"Tether's stablecoin dominance will only persist if they can settle community criticisms about their lack of transparency once and for all". However, at the moment of this writing, Tether (USDT) trades at $0.965, falling by about 2.5% over the last 24 hours.

Interestingly enough, there has been some speculation that the collapse of Tether would bring about a short-term bull market due to all the funds in USDT likely moving to BTC. But, taking into account the most sudden soar in the value of Bitcoin from $6,150 to $6,700 in just hours, a plunge was anticipated.

Critics have long argued that Tether is a scam - a claim bolstered by Tether's seeming refusal or inability to release an audit - that artificially inflates the price of bitcoin. Tether's market cap is on a steep fall over the last week, dropping from $2.7 billion to less than $2.2 billion at the press time. However, the price of another stablecoin - TrueUSD (TUSD) - increased by 8% to trade as high as $1.08 USD on Binance, suggesting that traders prefer regulated new stablecoins. Since then, Bitcoin went down again, now stabilizing in the $6,600 region.

As indicated by CryptoCompare.com: "USDT is a cryptocurrency asset issued on the Bitcoin blockchain via the Omni Layer Protocol".

It doesn't take a whole lot of sleuthing for investors to figure out what's behind some of the recent Tether losses - news of an "unofficial audit" that gave the coin a thumbs-up failed to convince everyone that Tether is actually backed one-to-one by the US dollar like it's supposed to be.

However, the Bitfinex decision to pause fiat deposits triggered some reactions in traders who turned to Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies, concerning the Tether (USDT) reserves. Tether has been closely scrutinized in the past whether it actually holds enough US dollars in reserve to back its stablecoin.
