I used to use USD tether all the time and still using it for trading purposes and liquidity purpose but recently we have seen a FUD or may be truth that SEC may have issue against them although they clarified that they are running it under registered business etc etc. Is tether risky from that purpose? Even if SEC warrant something like XRP, what will happen to Tether?
What about another alternative stablecoin?
Literally dozens. But USDT has been the 1st stable coin, and as such, it's most (dis)trusted of them all.
DAI would be a good alternative, but it has been unpegged from $1 before, so there's that.
Personally, USDC is my fav
