They normally fluctuate a bit above/below $1. Show me a one month period when they’ve been this consistently below $1. They may have had one longer period, when they lost their bank account access….other than that this is the record. It is novel

Okay, but that doesn't means that it has depegged. The deposit / withdrawl fees try and bound the value to be within 0.1% of USD.

  Much of the actual “redemptions” happen on Bitfinex. Tether and Bitfinex have the same owners and they buy Tether in open market operations. You can see the accumulations in Bitfinex USDT wallets before they move to the Tether Treasury The 0.1% is entirely theoretical. There has never been a documented Tether redemption so we have no idea what the actual terms are. We already know in many cases Tethers are created with no dollars changing hands: Celsius admitted to giving Tether Bitcoin for USDT as a loan So without actual proof of redemption it’s naive to merely believe the stated terms of known liars. The exchange prices are the real prices, and they haven’t been this low this long. Accompanied by outflows that is significant.

    >There has never been a documented Tether redemption Are you sure about that? There are several people on this site who have claimed their company has successfully redeemed Tether.

      Emphasis on documented. We’re dealing with liars here. Their customers, who are small in number, are insiders with incentive to keep the music playing. And I’ve seen some of these claims. Upon pressing they got their money via Bitfinex, not Tether redemption

    Are you sure? I withdrew $xxx,xxx in late May and it landed in my bank account in days.

      Withdrew from Bitfinex or redeemed at Tether? My point is people make these claims but no one has documented actually redeeming via Tether
