Tether would be silly to include in the index, but not sure how its existence affects crypto indices otherwise.

- hddherman 6y agoThere have been theories and allegations that Tether is being used to prop up the price of various cryptocurrencies. When I last kept an eye on the wild world of cryptocurrencies, Tether was at around 4 billion USD in total, and now it has grown to 19 billion, while at the same time Bitcoin is at an all time high. As long as Tether continues to exist, any cryptocurrency USD prices should be taken with a spoonful of salt.

The only question is: "has the market priced this in, so the current price is a floor and we're waiting for USDT to fall away", or "has the market not priced this in and a major shock will happen when that shoe drops?"
