Right that's what they say but how do I or anyone else redeem that? Otherwise there's no need for physical backing right?

Ah so in theory I should be able to ask the USDT foundation for a dollar and they should be able to give it to me?

Right but how... where does physical money come into play? How can I or anyone get 1 physical dollar from selling USDT? All I've ever done is exchange some coin => USDT and vice versa. So if no one is actually asking for a physical

But this is disingenuous (at best) marketing speak - the 25% IRR is blended over the entire fund. LPs enter at different times into Fund 1, 2, 3, up to Fund 15 now. As an LP, your specific fund that you entered primarily determines your ret
