Tether Holdings, the issuer of the world's largest stablecoin Tether (USDT), has announced plans to provide real-time updates of its reserve data.
Paolo Ardoino, Tether's chief technical officer and upcoming CEO, revealed that the company intends to start publishing reserve data in real time by 2024, according to a recent report by Bloomberg.
However, Tether later clarified that there is no set deadline for achieving this goal.
Currently, Tether publishes and updates its reserves data at least once per day, as stated on its transparency page.
The company also releases monthly reserve reports and conducts quarterly reserve reviews.
The move to real-time reporting aims to enhance transparency and address concerns regarding the backing of Tether's stablecoin.
Despite the broader cryptocurrency market experiencing some downturns in 2023, Tether has continued to gain momentum.
According to Tether's Q2 update, the company's assets increased by 5.7% to reach $86.5 billion.
Notably, Tether reported over $1 billion in operational profit, marking a significant 30% increase from the previous quarter.
