Colleagues, Bitcoin without doubt is the poster children for
cryptocurrencies. Despite its flaws and dramatic price decrease, since December
2017 it commands some 51% market share of the $209B global cryptocurrency value
based data from CoinMarketCap.
By all accounts Tether
is a third-tier Stablecoin pegged to the US dollar …
currently trading at 0.985 cents to the greenback. Tether does rank as the eighth
largest cryptocurrency by weighted market cap with a little over 2B tokens in
circulation. The central issue is whether Tether has been used to manipulate
the value of Bitcoin – a $2B fiat-back Stablecoin influencing the industry
leading BTC weighing in at $112B market cap. In a paper released by a
University of Texas professor entitled Is Bitcoin
Really Un-Tethered? The report makes a compelling case that “Less
than 1% of hours with such heavy Tether transactions are associated with 50% of
the meteoric rise in Bitcoin.” A bevy of articles by respected publications
including the New
York Times, CCN,
Coin
Telegraph, Coin
Desk and CryptoSlate
appear to validate the U of T statistical thesis of Dr. John Griffin. The
unanswered question concerns motive. We will explore this issue further and report
our conclusions. Post a comment today! Lawrence – Cryptocurrency Academy (https://cryptocurrencyacademy.blogspot.com/)
