Tether gets first full audit from accounting firm KPMG
Tether announced that KPMG, a major accounting firm, will conduct its first comprehensive full audit of USDT. Tether is the largest stablecoin (a crypto designed to stay pegged to the US dollar) and is used extensively across crypto markets. The company has faced years of scrutiny over whether it truly holds enough dollars to back every USDT in circulation. A full audit from a reputable firm like KPMG is a significant step toward transparency. This announcement addresses one of the biggest concerns holding back institutional adoption of crypto.
