Tether is incredibly wealthy:

The annual report reveals that their net profit exceeded $10 billion last year, holding $141 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds, currently valued at $17.4 billion in gold and $8.4 billion in Bitcoin;

1️⃣ Tether aims to achieve a net profit of over $10 billion in 2025, with a yearly increase of $50 billion in USDT circulation, total liabilities of approximately $186.5 billion, and $6.3 billion in excess reserves as a safety cushion.

2️⃣ Its core asset allocation is highly "quasi-sovereign," directly and indirectly holding a total of $141 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds, making it one of the largest holders of U.S. debt globally.

3️⃣ At the same time, Tether has significantly increased its holdings in non-sovereign assets, holding $17.4 billion in gold and $8.4 billion in Bitcoin within its hedging system, along with an independent investment portfolio of $20 billion.

However, I just had AI rate Tether's safety level, and it only gave Tether a score of 7.5.

In a similar situation, Circle (USDC) received an 8,

the reason being it is more compliant and transparent, but its profitability and "resilience against runs" are not as strong as Tether's;

Large compliant exchanges (like Coinbase) received a score of 7.8 (in terms of custodial assets);

The highest score was given to JPMorgan Chase (JPM) with a 9: subject to the strictest banking regulations, complete audits, and a clear central bank endorsement system, with a "systemic safety net" in extreme cases.
