How does the GENIUS act apply to Tether, given they're not in the US and their product is not officially available in the US?


Tether will migrate to a US regulated structure


When that happens then it'll be relevant, but I don't see how it means everything is fine now.


A company actively navigating a huge regulatory change is not the same as a flagrant scam hiding in plain sight.

I don't know why I'm bothering to reply. Tether truthers are modern day financial luddites, willingly blind and ignorant of the sea change taking place in plain sight after the passing of GENIUS.


I don't have a dog in this fight. I don't much care about crypto and know pretty much nothing about Tether beyond the fact that they have a USD-linked coin, plus what I just read on Wikipedia. "They're on the up-and-up because they say they're going to be complying with US law in the future" just isn't a very convincing argument.

Well they must be regulated somewhere, right? Where are the reports from regulators that all is OK, or at the very least an audit.

And if you can't get one of the Big 4 to sign off on your finances, then you have big big problems. Even Wirecard and Enron managed that.
