S&P Global, the financial services and credit rating company, today downgraded Tether’s stability rating to its weakest level. The move targets Tether’s stablecoin, USDT, which is the largest in the cryptocurrency market, with more than $184 billion in circulation.
The rating agency cited concerns over Tether’s increased exposure to volatile assets like Bitcoin and gold in its reserves, which creates potential depegging risks for the stablecoin. S&P Global also pointed to gaps in disclosures and governance as factors in the downgrade.

Tether has survived every single collapse / bankrun in the crypto industry including during pandemic, FTX, TerraUSD collapse....during the later something like 25% of USDT were forced redeemed.
Could any bank survive a 25% redemption demand without needing a gov bailout?

No kidding. One of the reasons I've been so interested in them is their fabulous ability to survive.
