Fud news about usdt has happened a lot, even a long time ago.. but I think usdt will be a stablecoin that can be trusted.
too much FUD on USDT, but so far I'm still using it too. besides BUSD, I also still use USDT. to be honest, I even use USDT more often than BUSD. it's just that, because of so many FUDs as the OP reads, or many say, I never hold USDT long term. on the other hand, if I aim to keep the asset in the long term, I'd rather convert it to FIAT than hold it in the long term. however, I don't trust USDT 100%, but I still use it.
Same here, my binance is more than 60% usdt. Despite the recent news that
$150M was frozen by tether which also means USDT is a very centralized stablecoin and the team could just freeze your money whenever they want it.
Tether Faces Scrutiny Around Decentralization
Three Ethereum-based USDT addresses, holding north of $150M, were frozen this week, according to Tether officials, as the blockchain cited the move due to “a request from law enforcement.” The blockchain has now blacklisted over 560 addresses since November 2017. It was the first blacklisting maneuver from Tether in 2022.
I don't know if it's a fud still because it's all over the news and it's been said over and over every time.
