SUMMARY
  • Last week, there was a possible attempt to depeg Tether (USDT), the world's largest stablecoin.
  • The company has since claimed the destabilization was caused by manipulation ahead of a big documents release, which shed new light on the firm's banking relationships and commercial paper exposure.
  • While the facts remain blurry, the selling started a few days before USDT dipped to as low as $.995 on both centralized and decentralized exchanges, suggesting some holders may have had advanced warning of the release.
