Meanwhile, reverse repurchase agreements involving these bills held an additional $8.8 billion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were $8.2 billion in $1 per note-valued <a href=\"https:\/\/coinscreed.com\/staging\/alchemy-pay-receives-money-transmitter-license-in-us.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">U.S. Money Market funds<\/a> and $292 million in cash and bank deposits. The company holds an additional $65 million in foreign treasury notes. The total cash and cash equivalents is approximately $74 billion, representing 85.73 percent of Tether's total reserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report also indicates that Tether has decreased its reliance on secured loans as a revenue source. Secured loans now account for only $ 5.1 billion in USDT reserves, approximately $336 million less than the previous report indicated. In September, Tether was criticized for continuing to make secured loans despite having previously stated that it would cease doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an accompanying blog post, Tether predicted a further loan decrease by October 31's end of the day. By this date, an additional $1.1 billion in loans will have been repaid, leaving only $900 million in loans as part of the reserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdo.global\/en-gb\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">BDO <span class=\"wpil-link-icon\" title=\"Link goes to external site.\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 5px;\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"height:16px; width:16px; fill:#000000; stroke:#000000; display:inline-block;\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:svg=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><g id=\"wpil-svg-outbound-7-icon-path\" fill=\"none\" clip-path=\"url(#clip0_31_188)\">\r\n                            <path d=\"M9.16724 14.8891L20.1672 3.88908\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/>\r\n                            <path d=\"M13.4497 3.53554L20.5208 3.53554L20.5208 10.6066\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\r\n                            <path d=\"M17.5 13.5L17.5 16.26C17.5 17.4179 17.5 17.9968 17.2675 18.4359C17.0799 18.7902 16.7902 19.0799 16.4359 19.2675C15.9968 19.5 15.4179 19.5 14.26 19.5L7.74 19.5C6.58213 19.5 6.0032 19.5 5.56414 19.2675C5.20983 19.0799 4.92007 18.7902 4.73247 18.4359C4.5 17.9968 4.5 17.4179 4.5 16.26L4.5 9.74C4.5 8.58213 4.5 8.0032 4.73247 7.56414C4.92007 7.20983 5.20982 6.92007 5.56414 6.73247C6.0032 6.5 6.58213 6.5 7.74 6.5L11 6.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/>\r\n                        <\/g>\r\n                        <defs>\r\n                            <clipPath id=\"clip0_31_188\">\r\n                                <rect fill=\"white\" height=\"24\" width=\"24\"\/>\r\n                            <\/clipPath>\r\n                        <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>publishes quarterly attestations of Tether's reserves, with a one-month lapse between the end of the quarter and the report's release.
