USDT's Future Under Scrutiny Amid Regulatory Tensions

The status of USDT (Tether) remains ongoing. Its relevance persists largely in Asia and CIS countries, where it remains actively used. However, tensions are rising in the United States and Europe concerning its status. The primary concern is that USDT isn't under U.S. control. While reserves are seemingly available, there's no clear transparency. The question of licensing remains ambiguous—"We are Tether" doesn't clarify the regulatory standing. In regions like Asia, Latin America, and elsewhere, USDT continues to operate normally. Conversely, in the US and EU, focus is shifting toward more regulated stablecoins such as USDC, PYUSD, and soon USD1 from Coinbase. For those trading on Western exchanges, DeFi platforms, or conducting transfers, it’s advisable to keep USDC or PYUSD at hand. USDT can also be used, but caution is advised. There's personal interest in USD1, suggesting a closer watch on emerging stablecoins. A proposal is made to create a future post about secure ways to hold stablecoins in 2025, inviting reactions for further engagement.
