Tether's latest move tells us something about crypto

Tether's latest move tells us something about crypto

Tether, the company that issues USDT, is about to discontinue USDT on five blockchains.


This is move was justified by Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino as a way to "focus on platforms that offer greater scalability, developer activity and community engangement."


USDT has a market cap of $134.9 billion, and these five blockchains provide a relatively low impact and contribution on that front.


The five networks in question are Omni Layer, Bitcoin Cash SLP, Kusama, EOS (which rebranded to Vaulta) and Algorand.


Omni Layer holds a net circulation of $82.9 million USDT, EOS has $4.2 million, Bitcoin Cash SLP has $986,500, Algorand follows with $240,000 and then Kusama with $240,000.


What do these five networks have in common? They're all being quickly forgotten.


That tells us something.
