While Tether’s profits continue to skyrocket with its increasing dominance in the stablecoin arena, critics are skeptical if high profits are sustainable in the long run with the expectations of rate cuts incoming as Tether’s profits are largely derived from interest generated from their clients’ USD deposits through US Treasuries.
