Tether continues to be the most popular stable coin despite criticism
Tether is the biggest stable coin in the market and is typically used by users in areas where it is difficult to buy Bitcoin directly. The stable coin is very popular in China where traders use it to purchase Bitcoin due to the government restrictions.
Despite its popularity, USDT has also had its controversies with several critics claiming that it is used by Bitcoin whales to pump BTC. There is a sentiment that the 2018 rise of Bitcoin was influenced by the increasing printing of Tether.
Other critics have also expressed their dissatisfaction with the mechanism behind Tether as they claim that it is no different to the Bank of America. This is due to the amount of Tether being printed daily by its treasury which is sometimes not equal to the demand of the market.
Nevertheless, it is the stable coin of choice for a large majority and is currently ranked third on the coin rankings with a market cap of $9 billion.
