Some social media users expressed the view that it is generally good for the ecosystem of cryptocurrencies:
Tether just redeemed/burned another $500,000,000.
This is good for the ecosystem. Having 1 stablecoin with so much gray area surrounding it be so dominant among UAD pegged-tokens is unhealthy.
The Slow decline of USDT + competition without the FUD is healthy. https://t.co/ZPpF6ilbVI
