The Whale Alert Twitter bot announced that Tether has issued another substantial portion of its USDT stablecoin: 300,000,000 units.

The CTO of Tether and Bitfinex exchange, Paolo Ardoino, stepped in to comment on the purpose of issuing a new lump of USDT.

Critics comparing Tether’s printing press to the Fed

Despite the fact that Tether’s Paolo Ardoino explained the issuance of this 300 mln USDT as an inventory replenishment on the Tron network, users in the thread still began leaving comments full of doubt about both Tether and its stablecoin.

One Twitter user asked if Tether has enough collateral to back the newly minted coins. Another wrote directly: "Non-stop, bigger than FED now!" and mentioned "playing with unlimited money monopoly."
