>The other part is that it is not easy to directly trade USDT for USD. Kraken is the only place you can do so directly, it is the only place the peg is directly tested.

I get the funds directly on my bank account in 5 minutes or so, and I imagine the same happens on Kraken, coinbase pro, gemini/blockfi.
