Paolo Ardoino, Technical director of Tether recently tweeted:  “@Tether_to is working with an exchange to perform a swap from Omni to ERC20 of part of its USDT cold wallet.” The details of the USDT tokens currently available are published in the website.

Tether is also considered by one of the well-known Twitter crypto analyst to be one of the major reason behind the bull rally of Bitcoin from $4000 through $13,800. It has been seen that ever since June, $750 million worth of USDT have been mined and the issuance has been closely aligned with the meteoric rise of Bitcoin to $13,800. However, there are others who disagree with this view.

Will Harborne, Ethfinex founder stated, “When you see a large Tether print it means a handful of wealthy clients have essentially preordered batches of Tethers, days in advance, to then dump on the market–often before it’s begun to surge. Buying significant amounts of USDT also allows whales to make trades on deeply liquid crypto exchanges that do not transact in fiat currencies.”

Several people continue to opine that Tether has a peculiar method of injecting USDT in to the market, which is a kind of market manipulation. They call it a bit of pump and dump.
