Embedded in this response is a consideration for how programming languages handle data. In Java, if you have a config file, does that file use Java syntax? No. What is that Java file written in? Likely XML. Can you write XML literals in Jav

Tether's attestation reports are a form of proof that show they indeed are 1-1 backed by the value of outstanding USDt tokens at par. [1]. Paxos publishes the same for BUSD on ETH. [2] Paxos has redeemed $10B of BUSD (> 50%) in an o

So buy USDC (with an amount you're comfortable with losing) until the price is above $0.97 and then sell.
