Tether’s $7.95B Reserve Surplus Nearly Doubles as Q3 Profit Reaches $1.5B
Tether reported its Q3 financial results, showcasing a $1.5 billion profit and a near-doubling of its reserve surplus to $7.95 billion, reinforcing the overcollateralization profile of its USDT stablecoin.
An expanding reserve surplus strengthens structural confidence in USDT's peg stability during systemic crypto liquidations, mitigating counterparty and de-pegging fears for institutional market makers. However, the heavy concentration of unverified commercial paper and alternative assets in backing reserves continues to isolate institutional allocators who require bankruptcy-remote, fully audited U.S. Treasury structures.
