Tether Breaks Ground with First Big Four Audit
The stablecoin industry reached a major transparency milestone as Tether (USDT) formally engaged a Big Four accounting firm for its first full independent financial audit. This move marks a shift from periodic attestations to rigorous, bank-grade scrutiny of its $184 billion in reserves.
Meanwhile, Circle (USDC) continues to lead in compliance, recently passing a Deloitte SOC 1 Type 2 audit as its supply hit $78 billion. Additionally, PayPal has expanded its regulated PYUSD stablecoin to 70 global markets, following the closure of an SEC investigation into the asset.
These developments align with the U.S. GENIUS Act and the EU's MiCA framework, which now mandate strict reserve verification for digital payment instruments.
