USDt (USDT), Tether’s brainchild, is now the stablecoin equivalent of aTreasury shopping spree, outpurchasing entire nations like it’s going out of style. 🛍️

“Tether was the 7th largest buyer of US Treasurys in 2024, compared to Countries,” Ardoino casually dropped in a March 20 X post. NBD.

But hey, Luxembourg and the Cayman Islands are just show-offs, including “all the hedge funds buying into t-bills,” Ardoino pointed out. Tether’s figures? Just one entity ballin’ outta control. 💼🎉
