An important distinction between Terra (what is being described there) and Tether (what this thread is discussing), is that Tether claims to be backed by real assets.
- robocat 4y agoThere is no strong distinction in backing: USDT just has a slightly more believable story. Also the price of a stablecoin can shift from it's peg, even if it has 100% backing, when there is latency/congestion/spread/volume for the arbitrage trade. That said, there is a whole heap of plenty of evidence that USDT is not backed by dollars 1:1.
