Tether (USDT), the largest stablecoin in the cryptocurrency market, has seen a jump in its dominance inside the Curve 3pool liquidity pool as a result of massive sales by whales. Concerns regarding the stablecoin’s stability and fear about USDT’s depegging have been sparked by the unprecedented surge of USDT.

The current makeup of the Curve 3pool has been drastically altered by the recent dumping of USDT by whales. Over a thirteen percent share of the whole liquidity pool is presently held by USDT. Since the FTX crash in November 2022, this is the highest it has been.

Exact Reason Unknown

No one knows whether the recent rise in USDT inflows is the consequence of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD), or if it’s being driven by insider information. The de-peg of USDT after the Terra collapse is a major source of criticism.

Tether (USDT) had a major depegging event on June 6, 2022. When it began trading on ValleySwap at a rate of $0.18 per USD Coin (USDC). Today, it went all the way till $0.9958.
