What’s the Scoop?

Big Earnings Beat: Tether says it made $4.9 billion in net profit in Q2, bringing its total for the year to $5.7 billion so far.
Massive Treasury Holdings: The firm now holds about $127 billion in U.S. Treasury exposure, with $105.5 billion directly held.
Extra Cushion: Tether reported $5.4 billion in “excess reserves,” meaning capital held beyond what backs USDT in circulation.
