The analysis and opinions expressed are his own and do not necessarily reflect those of Decrypt. Tether Finally Got a Real Audit, and KPMG Signed Off Tether said Thursday that Big Four accounting firm KPMG issued an unqualified opinion (the best possible result) on its 2025 financial statements.
Tether (the company behind the leading stablecoin USDT) called it the largest inaugural financial audit in history, and said KPMG examined its assets, liabilities, income, cash flows, internal systems, records, counterparties, and supporting documentation, even physically counting and inspecting every individual gold bar Tether holds rather than trusting custodian reports. Tether has spent years fending off questions about whether USDT is truly backed. For most of its history, it published quarterly attestations (a lighter review), rather than submitting to a full audit, which critics treated as a red flag. And the skepticism wasnt unfounded: Tether paid an $18.5 million settlement to New York in 2021 over misrepresenting its reserves, and the CFTC fined it $41 million the same year for claiming USDT was fully backed by dollars when it wasnt at all times.
