I think the other thing that also pumped the price a little was the announcement that Tether can prove that every Tether are
fully backed by USD reserves. Source//:

investors nerves and this might spark a new round of investments in all Crypto currencies, including Bitcoin. The BitLicense
impact will take some time, before it is reflected in the price.

.. just friggen show a bank statement with balance
P.S just like circle is doing.. and like paypal done.. whenever offering a custodial service to hold funds as a balance measured 1:1 as dollar. you need a friggen bankers licence not a a money service business licence.
in short tether is still schemy and scammy but goes all out to throw hundreds of different documents at a law firm to look innocent but not show 1 single piece of paper with a bank balance into the open transparent public arena called the internet
No kidding huh? Hard to believe a crypto with that much dominance and presence in the field, can't submit an audit. It seems highly shady to me and because of that I haven't used them as a reserve currency despite the fact they are "stable". If you are so stable, show your hand please.
