ROLLUP: Gold & Silver ATHs | Fidelity’s Stablecoin | Ethereum’s Quantum Pivot | Tether Buys Gold

And they're bullish Bitcoin.

They're also bullish ETH.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Gold & Silver ATHs | Fidelity’s Stablecoin | Ethereum’s Quantum Pivot | Tether Buys Gold

They put out a pretty good report last year that I read, which talked about ETH as a store of value.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Gold & Silver ATHs | Fidelity’s Stablecoin | Ethereum’s Quantum Pivot | Tether Buys Gold

I mean, they've got a good crypto outfit fit and a good head on their shoulders when it comes to applying some of this technology.

So I think Simon's right.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Gold & Silver ATHs | Fidelity’s Stablecoin | Ethereum’s Quantum Pivot | Tether Buys Gold

I think this is going to be a pretty big deal

Along with that, David, Tether released their official onshore, US shore, I should say, stablecoin.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Gold & Silver ATHs | Fidelity’s Stablecoin | Ethereum’s Quantum Pivot | Tether Buys Gold

Okay, this is USAT.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Gold & Silver ATHs | Fidelity’s Stablecoin | Ethereum’s Quantum Pivot | Tether Buys Gold

Can you refresh people?

Bankless
ROLLUP: Gold & Silver ATHs | Fidelity’s Stablecoin | Ethereum’s Quantum Pivot | Tether Buys Gold

What is USAT?

Bankless
ROLLUP: Gold & Silver ATHs | Fidelity’s Stablecoin | Ethereum’s Quantum Pivot | Tether Buys Gold

Why does Tether need a second stablecoin?

Bankless
ROLLUP: Gold & Silver ATHs | Fidelity’s Stablecoin | Ethereum’s Quantum Pivot | Tether Buys Gold

I kind of think

Bankless
ROLLUP: Gold & Silver ATHs | Fidelity’s Stablecoin | Ethereum’s Quantum Pivot | Tether Buys Gold

that's right and of course genius compliant means everything has to be backed by treasuries one to one so Tether can't do the cool thing that they really love doing which is like fill Swiss nuclear bunkers full of gold yeah you're not allowed to do that with a genius compliant stablecoin no you're not allowed to do that and that's I think the fun stuff for Tether of course
