Tether’s USDT is sold as “just a digital dollar” – but today it’s backed by massive piles of gold, Bitcoin and U.S. Treasuries. In this podcast, we break down what that actually means for you.We walk through how USDT works under the hood, how Tether makes billions in profit from interest, and why it has quietly become one of the largest private buyers of physical gold on the planet. We also talk about Tether Gold (XAUT), how much gold is sitting behind these tokens, and why rating agencies and regulators are suddenly pushing back.You’ll hear both sides: Tether’s story of diversification and “hard asset” backing, and the real risks around market crashes, liquidity, lack of full audits, S&P’s weak rating, and new U.S. stablecoin rules. In the end, we focus on what matters for normal users: how safe USDT really is, how to think about stablecoin risk, and why diversifying between different coins and platforms is smarter than trusting a single issuer.If you use USDT to trade, store value in dollars, or move money around the crypto ecosystem, this episode is your plain-English guide to what’s really backing your stablecoin.#tether #USDT #stablecoin #stablecoins #crypto #cryptocurrency #bitcoin #gold #tethergold #xaut #cryptopodcast #cryptonews #blockchain #defi #finance #investing— FOLLOW & LISTEN —🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2KZ2NUu1MjJolN2alJltnN🛰️ RSS (all apps): https://anchor.fm/s/10881159c/podcast/rss🍎 Apple Podcasts (EN): https://anchor.fm/s/10881159c/podcast/rss🍎 Apple Podcasts (PT-BR): https://anchor.fm/s/1087502fc/podcast/rss… and everywhere podcasts are available.— SUPPORT MY WORK —⭐ PATREON: https://patreon.com/ExplainItToMe_⭐ Buy me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/explainittome_— STAY CONNECTED —✅ Subscribe to the channel🔔 Turn on notifications💬 Drop your questions for the next episode
