It is unethical to reveal information about banks and counterparties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, MHA, an accounting firm provides quarterly attestations of reserves. Also, a top 12 accounting firm has been hired to conduct a complete audit of the reserves. However, according to some reports, the UK Financial Reporting Council is investigating the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tether (USDT) is mostly backed by fiat-denominated reserves, Paolo Ardoino claimed, with only a small proportion in digital assets. Tether has also reduced its commercial paper holdings. In fact, the company has never repaid its dividend, thus interest continues to accumulate in its reserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>\u201cTether redeemed 10% of its assets in 48 hours and, we could have done much more than that.
