Tether je bez rizika likvidirao prekomjerno kolateralizirani Bitcoin zajam od Celzijusa

Tether, the company behind USDT, the largest stablecoin by market capitalization, revealed that it liquidated Celsius’s position without risk to its reserves.

• U press release on Friday (July 8, 2022), Tether stated that beleaguered lending platform Celsius took an overcollateralized loan from the company, denominated in bitcoin (BTC).
• The stablecoin issuer said it has since liquidated the loan based on the agreed-upon terms of the transaction. According to Tether:

“Ovaj proces je sproveden na način da se što je više moguće minimizira bilo kakav uticaj na tržišta i zapravo, kada je kredit bio pokriven, Tether je preostali dio vratio Celzijusu prema svom dogovoru. Celsiusova pozicija je likvidirana bez gubitaka za Tether.”

• The statement also mentioned that the firm had some investment in Celsius, and though it did not state an exact amount, Tether assured that it represented a “minimal part of its shareholder equity,” adding that it did not impact the company’s reserves or stability.
• Tether’s latest update comes as Celsius is experiencing liquidity issues. As earlier prijavljeno by Kripto krompir, the crypto lending platform repaid its final debt of $41.2 million in DAI to Maker, causing a release of 21,862 WBTC (worth approximately $450 million).
• Celsius’s former asset manager also tužio the firm on allegations of fraud and market manipulation.
