The official statement reads that Tether treasury remained approximately 466 million USDT, which will be used for future emissions. The company stressed that the process of destruction and production of new tokens is clearly spelled out in the whitepaper.
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
