Tether latest reserve attestation shows slash in commercial paper

2022-2-24 21:00

Tether, the number one Stablecoin issuer, has released its attestation for the last quarter of 2021 yesterday, and there were lots of interesting figures. 

Tether slashes commercial paper holdings

The USDT issuer has reduced its reserves allocation to commercial paper by over 20%. This means that its commercial paper holding dropped to $24.16 billion from $30.5 billion between September and December.

This is a good development following earlier criticisms around commercial papers dominating Tethers reserves. As of May 2021, 65.39% of Tether reserves were backed by commercial papers. 

Commercial papers are debt instruments issued by companies to finance short-term liabilities or payroll. While it’s quite common, the fact that it’s not backed by collateral makes it quite risky.

The Evergrande crisis last year led to concerns around the security of commercial papers. Many also wondered whether the company was one of those that issued Tether commercial paper, a suggestion that the firm vigorously denied.

Since then, the USDT issuer has worked to rebalance its reserves portfolio. Compared to its last report released in September, bank deposits and cash dropped by 42% and are now at $4.187 billion. 

However, its treasury bills and money market allocation increased significantly by 77.6% and 200%, respectively. It now has $34.52 billion in treasury bills and $3 billion in money market funds.

Tether’s reserve exceeds its liabilities

The report reveals that the amount in Tether reserves slightly exceeds the liabilities of its stablecoin as of December 2021. Its liabilities were around $78.53 billion, while total assets in reserves were $78.67 billion. 

Per the attestation conducted by accountants at MHA Cayman, $13.93 billion of its commercial paper will mature between 0 – 90 days. $9.94 billion has a 91 – 180 days maturation period, and only $823 million has a maturation period from 181 days to a year. 

By law, any commercial paper with a maturation period exceeding 270 days must be registered with the SEC.

Regulatory woes forced new quarterly reports

The quarterly report of its reserves is part of the court settlement it reached with the Office of New York Attorney General in February 2021. 

The New York regulators accused the firm of misrepresenting the amount of fiat backing its stablecoin between 2017 and 2018. The case was finally resolved, with Tether having to pay an $18.5 million fine without admitting any wrongdoing.

In October 2021, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission fined the firm $41 million for misleading and untrue claims that USDT was fully backed by fiat currency between June 1, 2016, and Feb. 25, 2019.
