Oh, and Tether is holding assets that wouldn’t meet those requirements? Sorry, wasn’t sure if you meant that as a difference.

- jcranmer 5y agoNo, Tether is not. The equity and capital buffer requirements are somewhat more complicated to explain simply, but the end result is that a bank needs at least ~8% of cash outright to meet those requirements. Tether has less than 1/10th the amount of cash it would be required to have were it a bank.
- FabHK 5y agoAgreed. At most 1/30 of what would be required.
