The $127 Billion Secret: How a Crypto Company Became America's 18th-Largest Government Debt Holder

The $127 Billion Secret: How a Crypto Company Became America's 18th-Largest Government Debt Holder

What if the biggest threat to traditional banking isn’t Bitcoin or CBDCs, but a stablecoin company that’s become America’s 18th-largest government debt holder? Tether Holdings just proved that private digital money can actually strengthen rather than weaken dollar dominance (and Wall Street’s elite are betting $500 billion they’re right about the future of global finance).Seven years ago, Tether was on the brink of collapse. In October 2018, the stablecoin that promised to maintain a $1.00 peg briefly crashed to $0.88, sparking panic across cryptocurrency markets as traders questioned whether the company actually held sufficient dollar reserves to back its tokens. Federal prosecutors had launched a criminal investigation into whether Tether was being used to manipulate Bitcoin prices, while the Commodity Futures Trading Commission later found that Tether held adequate reserves for only 27.6% of days during a 26-month period from 2016 through 2018. The company’s relationship with its auditors had dissolved, leaving transparency claims in tatters, and academic researchers published papers alleging systematic market manipulation.Today, that same company is negotiating to raise $20 billion at a $500 billion valuation.Tether Holdings, the company behind the world’s largest stablecoin USDT, is in discussions for private funding that would place it among the most valuable private companies globally, rivaling OpenAI’s similar target, according to Bloomberg and Financial Times reports. The dramatic transformation from potential failure to unprecedented valuation represents one of the most remarkable corporate turnarounds in financial history.The funding round represents a dramatic shift for Tether, which generated $13.7 billion in net profit in 2024, primarily from interest earned on its massive Treasury holdings that back the stablecoin.Treasury Holdings Rival Nation StatesTether’s financial position has grown to rival sovereign governments. The company holds $127 billion in U.S. Treasury securities, making it the 18th-largest holder globally ahead of countries including South Korea and Germany. In the second quarter of 2025 alone, Tether purchased ...Full story available on Benzinga.com

Tech giants wobble as Tesla drives market gains amidst mixed sector performances

Sector OverviewThe US stock market is showcasing a tapestry of contrasting trends today. Tech giants like Oracle faced a noteworthy dip, sliding down 2.41%, whereas Microsoft managed a modest climb of 0.14%. The semiconductor realm is relatively stagnant, with Nvidia barely moving at -0.01%.The consumer cyclical sector is buoyed by an impressive performance from Tesla, which surged by 3.33%, offsetting the downturn from Amazon, up only 0.13%. Meanwhile, the financial sector showed mixed signals, with gains from JPMorgan Chase (up 0.96%) contrasting with stagnant movements of Visa (-0.09%).Market Mood and TrendsThe market sentiment feels cautiously optimistic yet polarized. The eagerness around auto manufacturers like Tesla portrays a more positive inclination among investors despite tech's hiccups, evidenced by Oracle's downturn. Communication services seem tepid as Google slid by 0.86%, pointing towards careful repositioning or profit-taking endeavors.Strategic RecommendationsInvestors should consider enhancing their exposure to sectors demonstrating resilience such as consumer cyclical, especially focusing on electric vehicles and home improvement retailers despite Home Depot's mild dip (-0.40%).Monitor the technology sector's unfolding dynamics before increasing exposure; current dips might represent buying opportunities, offering a potential rebound upon stability restoration. The financial sector's diverse performance suggests careful calibration, keeping an eye on potential rebounds or defensive stocks as safe harbors.For continued market insights and a deeper analysis into stock trends, feel free to explore InvestingLive.com for comprehensive stories and real-time updates.

DHS removes clip featuring comedian Theo Von after he balks at being used in ‘banger' deportation video

Podcaster and comedian Theo Von urged and apparently succeeded in getting the Department of Homeland Security to take down a viral video clip of him saying, “Heard you got deported, dude, bye!” Von, 45, whose “This Past Weekend” podcast is influential within the “manosphere” and popular with young men, shared the DHS video to his more than 1.6 million X followers on Tuesday. The bizarre video includes what appears to be footage of immigration authorities making an arrest, portions of President Donald Trump’s address to the United Nations this week, erroneous deportation statistics and the face-to-camera clip of Von.Von slammed DHS’s use of his snippet on X, writing: “Yooo DHS i didnt approve to be used in this.”“I know you know my address so send a check,” Von added. “And please take this down and please keep me out of your ‘banger’ deportation videos,” he said. “When it comes to immigration my thoughts and heart are a lot more nuanced than this video allows. Bye!”US & WorldUnited NationsSep 23Trump criticizes U.N. for failing to end wars and address immigration concernsTrump AdministrationSep 22What to know about Trump's H-1B visa shake-upCaliforniaSep 20California bans most law enforcement officers from wearing masks during operationsDHS did not immediately return a request for comment. Shortly after an original form of this story was published, DHS took down the video.Von’s rebuke of DHS was seen as a surprise given his friendly history with leading figures in the Trump administration, including the president.Trump appeared on Von’s podcast during the height of the presidential campaign in August 2024, which Trump said was at the encouragement of his youngest son, Barron.In May, the White House brought Von on the president’s first official foreign trip to speak at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, prior to Trump addressing the troops. And in June, Vice President JD Vance appeared on Von’s podcast for nearly an hour and a half.Although immigration is one of a handful credited for Trump’s election, support for the president’s handling of the issue has declined in recent months. The Trump administration has also been criticized for sharing similar bizarre videos, including one generated by AI showing an outlandish vision of Gaza that featured a shirtless Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sunbathing. On Monday, the Department of Homeland security posted a video on X showing immigration raids dubbed with the Pokémon television series’ theme song “Gotta Catch ‘Em All.”The Pokémon Company International said in a statement they were aware of the “video posted by the Department of Homeland Security that includes imagery and language associated with our brand.”“Our company was not involved in the creation or distribution of this content, and permission was not granted for the use of our intellectual property,” the company said. When asked if they be taking legal action regarding the video, the company said: “We don’t have anything to share at this time.”Sarah Dean and Austin Mullen contributed.

Aerospacelab has closed an extended Series B funding round, raising €94 million euros ($110 million) to advance its "ambitious industrial roadmap" to scale up production of off-the-shelf satellite constellations.

Molecular discovery reveals how chromosomes are passed from one generation to the next

When a woman becomes pregnant, the outcome of that pregnancy depends on many things—including a crucial event that happened while she was still growing inside her own mother's womb. It depends on the quality of the egg cells that were already forming inside her fetal ovaries. The DNA-containing chromosomes in those cells must be cut, spliced and sorted perfectly. In males, the same process produces sperm in the testes but occurs only after puberty.

Electron microscopy reveals new method to make exotic metal alloys

Humans have been making metal alloys for thousands of years, and most of us can conjure a rough mental image of the process—it involves red-hot molten metals being mixed, poured, and shaped in a sweltering workshop or factory. This approach still works perfectly well for the traditional metals we see every day, like steel. But advanced metals with special chemical and mechanical properties, ones that scientists are investigating to use in energy technologies like long-lasting batteries and extreme-temperature engines for aerospace vehicles, need a more refined approach.
