As reported by Bitcoin.com, Tether has publicly challenged S&P Global Ratings after the agency downgraded USDT’s stability score to its lowest tier. S&P cited increased exposure to higher-risk assets and insufficient disclosures, while Tether argued the rating model is outdated and fails to reflect the stablecoin’s decade-long peg maintenance and growing reserves. Tether emphasized its compliance with global regulations and highlighted its role in cross-border commerce and DeFi. The company also pointed to its $135 billion in U.S. Treasury holdings and over $13 billion in 2024 net profits as evidence of financial strength.
