Former Citibank encryption research head: Arthur Hayes missed 3 key points about Tether's FUD.
Odaily News In response to Arthur Hayes' doubts about USDT operations, former Citibank encryption research head Joseph stated on the X platform that @CryptoHayes' analysis missed several key points: 1. Disclosure of assets ≠ all corporate assets. USDT adopts a "matching principle" for disclosing reserves, but its undisclosed balance sheet includes equity investment income, mining operations, corporate reserves, and potential Bitcoin holdings, with remaining profits distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends. 2. Extremely high profit margins and equity value. Tether holds $120 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds (annualized 4% yield), with a projected annual net profit of about $10 billion from 2023 (with only 150 employees), making it arguably the world's most efficient money printer; equity valuation may reach $50-100 billion.
