Virtually each cryptocurrency exchange supports USDT trading in some way. However, the composition of Tether’s reserves and its inner operations have not been obviously unveiled.

Earlier this yr, Prototypes reviews that Alameda Research and Cumberland Global are the two biggest entities that have brought about two-thirds of all USDT to industry. Both have acquired at least 60.three billion USDT so far.
