The issuer of USDT has resolved to end support for Kusama, Bitcoin Cash SLP, and Omni Layer. This move follows an in-depth analysis of the functionality, safety, and stability of these particular blockchains. Notably, Omni Layer, Tether's first transport layer since its inception in 2014, was instrumental during its early days.

Renowned business analyst Adam Cochran recently shared insights concerning Huobi's financial state and its potential insolvency. Key takeaways from Adam's analysis: Investigation Underway: Both Huobi and Tron are facing scrutiny, with their staff being questioned by the police. Unusual Asset Distribution: After Justin Sun's introduction of wrapped USDT (stUSDT), a whopping 98% of user assets intended for Tether bond redemptions ended up in the wallets of Huobi and Justin Sun. Discrepancy with USDT Balance: Huobi's reported USDT balance is just $63 million, but their users hold a staggering $631 million worth of USDT. Something doesn't add up here. ETH Holdings in Question: It appears that Huobi is holding all of its users' ETH as stETH, raising eyebrows about their handling of customer assets. Binance Making Moves: Meanwhile, Binance is actively selling USDT and purchasing DAI, possibly indicating a shift in market dynamics. Outdated Reserves Page: It's been a whole month since Huobi last updated its reserve page, and discrepancies between the reported figures and wallet balances need clarification.
