Stablecoins are dollar-pegged coins that let traders get in and out of their positions without having to convert back into fiat currency.
Tether has long faced scrutiny from regulators and investors, especially over the quality of the assets backing its dollar reserves. The digital token extended its lead over competitors after Circle Internet Financial’s USD Coin broke from its one-to-one peg to the dollar in mid-March.
The market cap of USD Coin was just under $29 billion on Thursday. The market value of Binance USD has fallen to $5.2 billion after New York regulators shut down the new issuance of the stablecoin.
