  4. Investors are increasingly worried about Tether, the world's largest stablecoin issuer, due to its persistent refusal to undergo an independent, third-party audit. With over $118 billion in circulation, concerns about Tether’s opaque operations are growing.

    Origin of Concerns

    In the context of over $118 billion in circulation, investors fear a potential liquidity crisis akin to the downfall of the FTX exchange. The lack of independent, third-party audits raises significant concerns, which could have serious repercussions for the entire crypto space.

    Cyber Capital Founder’s Opinion

    Justin Bons, the founder of Cyber Capital, has recently explained the risks of Tether. On September 14, in an X post, Bons described Tether as a 'major threat' to the crypto space. He pointed out that the company is asking the public to believe that it has $118 billion in reserves with no evidence. This lack of transparency is not new. In 2021, the U.S. CFTC charged Tether a $41 million penalty for making false statements about its reserves.

    Stablecoin Market and Investor Concerns

    Tether controls more than 75% of the stablecoin market, having grown its market share by 20% over the past two years. This dominance is causing even more concern. Investors fear Tether’s size and lack of transparency could lead to a collapse similar to FTX.

    Tether's persistent refusal to undergo an independent audit and its dominance in the stablecoin market remain key sources of concern for investors. Potential risks require careful monitoring and analysis.
