外媒：Tether賣空者數量正在增加:7月4日消息，盡管Tether一直保證其儲備金得到充分支持，但隨著投資者拋售流動性越來越多，Tether賣空者數量正在增加。根據Arca首席投資官JeffDorman透露，一段時間以來，機構一直在賣空Tether或購買Tether的看跌期權。

其他數據顯示，在2022年5月27日至2022年6月27日期間，通過加密經紀商Genesis Global TradingInc.做空Tether的對沖基金數量也有所增加，該機構交易主管LeonMarshall在接受《華爾街日報》采訪時稱，做空Tether的交易價值在數億美元范圍內，而亞洲的加密公司一直是歐美對沖基金發起賣空交易的對手方。（Beincrypto）[2022/7/4 1:48:54]

聲音 | Adamant Capital創始合伙人：Tether增發往往恰逢新美元進入交易所:據ambcrypto報道，7月1日，隨著比特幣和大多數加密貨幣的價格大幅下跌，Tether Treasury增發了新的1億枚USDT。一些分析師和加密支持者推測，由于快速增發的Tether，比特幣的價格正在回升。同時，據CoinMarketCap數據， 前14大交易所中通過BTC / USDT交易對交易的BTC最多。此外，6月共增發了6億枚USDT，而比特幣的價格從8000美元上漲到超過了11000美元。對此，Adamant Capital創始合伙人Tuur Demeester發推文稱，他認為新增發的Tether只是反映了進入比特幣交易所生態系統的新資金。 99％的情況下，當Tether供應增加時，恰逢新的美元進入比特幣交易所。[2019/7/3]
