Tether’s statement regarding its exposure to EQIBank, whose assets worth $84 million were seized, is relatively credible. It is unlikely to cause USDT to depeg in the short term, and there is no direct impact on the short-term prices of crypto assets such as BTC and ETH. According to publicly reported information, U.S. prosecutors have accused EQIBank of allegedly instructing payment companies to illegally transfer hundreds of millions of dollars in funds. Tether holds only part of its assets in that bank, and it has already proactively disclosed that its exposure is limited, without affecting the security of users’ assets. Only if subsequent investigations confirm that Tether’s actual proportion of assets at that bank exceeds the amount it disclosed, or if unusually large USDT redemptions appear on-chain, could depegging risk be triggered. At present, there are no signs of such events. $BTC $ETH #加密监管 #Tether资产安全 #Crypto ETF
