More details on the situation. After the collapse of FTX, rumors surfaced online that Alameda Research, affiliated with the exchange’s head Sam Bankman-Fried, decided to crash the market by shorting USDT.
A Twitter user found transactions that he believes indicate that Alameda was involved in the loss of USDT’s peg to the dollar. Amid the rumors, the TRON DAO Reserve announced its intention to buy 300 million USDT from the market to maintain the stability of the asset.
According to one of Tether’s executives, the company began receiving requests from law enforcement agencies to temporarily freeze assets while they investigate.
