As Tether again stopped a scam in its tracks by blacklisting a hacker’s account, users are reminded about the powers they hand to centralized money issuers.

Telegram’s Wallet bot, which is powered by the TON blockchain, has just launched the functionality for merchants to accept retail payments in tether, bitcoin and TON tokens, directly within the app.

Last week Tether's USDT stablecoin suffered a brief depeg to 99 cents. The issue was potentially significant due to the surrounding circumstances.

Tether has announced its new investment strategy. To strengthen and diversify reserves, the company plans to regularly buy bitcoin with realized profits.

Tether and Strike money app have merged their user bases by adding USDT to the bitcoin-only platform.

Tether and KriptonMarket announced a collaboration which will give small businesses access to stablecoins at the Central Market of Buenos Aires.

The issuer of the largest stablecoin, Tether continues its path to transparency. In the recent quarterly reserve report, the company showed a breakdown for a previously consolidated reserve category that revealed its investments in gold and bitcoin.

Tether continues to expand the list of exchanges where users can access gold-referenced XAUT and Euro-referenced EURT. BitMart and MEXC Global exchanges have announced the listing of stablecoins.
