近期有关USDT的市场传闻不断发酵，USDT持续下跌，稳定币不再“稳定”。
Recent market rumours about the USDT continued to ferment, the USDT continued to fall and the stabilizing currency ceased to be “stabilized”.
10月15日午后，市场上大量资金开始卖出USDT买入各种代币，比特币因此大涨。据链盛财经了解，比特币已一度突破7000美元大关。USDT则遭恐慌性抛售，一路下跌。
In the afternoon of October 15, large sums of money began to be sold on the market for various coins, resulting in a huge increase in bitcoins. According to the wealth of the chain, Bitcoin has once crossed the $7,000 mark.
有市分析认为，USDT传闻爆雷的直接原因是今天上午彭博发文称，如果政府当局要寻找任何Tether的不法行为的证据，或者用户对Tether以1美元赎回USDT的能力失去信心，那么USDT很快就会失去价值。
There is a market analysis that suggests that the direct cause of the rumours about the explosion was this morning's Bloomberg message that the USDT would soon lose its value if the authorities were to look for any evidence of Tether's wrongdoing or if the users were to lose confidence in Tether's ability to redeem it at $1.
关于每个USDT是否真有1美元的价值支持，这确实是加密币世界争论最激烈的问题之一：当Tether不断重申它的每个USDT都有一美元支持时，是否在撒谎？
Is there really one dollar worth support for each USDT? This is indeed one of the most controversial issues in the world about encryption: is there a lie when Teth constantly reaffirms that every USDT has a dollar support?
答案可能有很大的影响，因为Tether的USDT是交易最活跃的加密货币之一，被许多人视为全球加密市场上美元的替代品。
The answer could have a significant impact, as Tether's USDT is one of the most active encoded currencies traded and is seen by many as an alternative to the United States dollar on the global encryption market.
1.什么是Tether？
What's Tether?
它是一家加密货币的发行公司。与比特币不同，比特币的价格日波动很大，Tether的代币USDT是为稳定而设计的。
It's an encrypt currency issuer. Unlike Bitcoin, the price of bitcoin fluctuates widely, and Tether's token USDT is designed for stability.
USDT的价格历史上一直保持在1美元附近，因为Tether说每个USDT的银行账户都有1美元的支持。
The prices of USDT have historically remained close to US$ 1 since Tether stated that each bank account of US$ 1 was supported by US$ 1.
2.为什么USDT很受欢迎？
Why is USDT popular?
许多交易者使用它们来代替美元，USDT在加密货币交易所和其他在线平台之间更容易转移，因为它们不必通过银行系统。稳定的价格使得硬币便捷的工具可以投注其他加密货币的方向。
Many traders use them to replace the United States dollar, and USDT is easier to transfer between encrypted money exchanges and other online platforms because they do not have to go through the banking system. Stable prices make it easier for coins to be in the direction of other encrypted currencies.
3.为什么会有怀疑论者？
3. Why are there skeptics?
虽然Tether一再表示USDT完全由美元支持，但该公司尚未向公众提供其持有美元支持的确凿证据。还有一些关于Tether与Bitfinex关系的问题，Bitfinex是世界上最大的加密货币交易所之一。
Although Tether has repeatedly stated that USDT is fully supported by the United States dollar, it has yet to provide the public with conclusive evidence of its dollar support. There are also questions about Tether’s relationship with Bitfinex, one of the world’s largest encrypted currency exchanges.
一些市场观察人士称，Bitfinex交易所与Tether相同的首席执行官，Tether的USDT有助于支撑Bitfinex操纵比特币的价格。
According to some market observers, the same CEO of the Bitfinex Exchange as Tether, the USDT of Tether, helped to support Bitfinex's manipulation of Bitfinex's prices.
在10月8日的一篇报道中，Bitfinex驳回了有关它已经破产的指控，并表示仍在正常运作。它补充说：“在法定的交易领域，我们仍然存在困难，就像大多数与加密货币相关的组织一样。但是，我们会继续尽最大努力减少与法定存款和取款相关的等待时间。”
In a report dated 8 October, Bitfinex rejected the allegation that it was bankrupt and stated that it was still functioning. It added: “We still have difficulties in the area of legal transactions, like most organizations associated with encrypted currency. But we will continue to do our utmost to reduce the waiting time associated with legal deposits and withdrawals.”
4.美国监管机构在做什么？
What's the U.S. regulatory agency doing?
据知情人士称，美国商品期货交易委员会12月向Bitfinex和Tether 发送了传票。“我们经常接受执法机构和监管机构进行调查的法律程序，”Bitfinex和Tether在1月的电子邮件声明中说。“我们的政策是不对任何此类要求发表评论。”
According to sources, the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission sent summonses to Bitfinex and Tether in December. “We are often subject to legal procedures for investigations by law enforcement agencies and regulators.” Bitfinex and Tether said in an e-mail statement in January. “Our policy is not to comment on any such request.”
5.为什么Tether对加密货币投资者如此重要？
5. Why is Tether so important to encrypt money investors?
尽管总体市值约为27亿美元，但是Tether的硬币在加密货币交易中扮演着巨大的角色。根据CoinMarketCap.com编制的数据，截至10月14日，它们是继比特币之后所有数字货币中的第二大交易。虽然还有许多其他所谓的稳定币，但没有一个接近挑战美元的受欢迎程度。
According to CoinMarketCap.com, as at 14 October, they were the second largest of all digital currencies after Bitcoins. While there were many other so-called stable currencies, none was close to the challenge dollar’s popularity.
6.下一步是什么？
What's next?
如果当局在Tether身上找到任何不法行为的证据，或者如果市场参与者对该公司以1美元赎回USDT的能力失去信心，那么USDT很快就会失去价值。
If the authorities find any evidence of wrongdoing on Tether, or if market participants lose confidence in the company's ability to redeem USDT at $1, the USDT will soon lose its value.
但只有时间会证明USDT最近的价格下滑只是一个短暂现象还是一个重大事件的开端。。区块链投资和咨询公司Kenetic Capital的管理合伙人Jehan Chu表示，“如果Tether能够一劳永逸地解决社会对其缺乏透明度的批评，那么Tether的稳定价格优势将持续存在。”
But only time will prove that the recent decline in USDT’s prices was only a short-lived event or the beginning of a major event. Jehan Chu, management partner of the block chain investment and consulting firm Kenetic Capital, said, “If Tether can once and for all address social criticism of its lack of transparency, Teth’s stable price advantage will persist.”
Bitfinex股东之一的赵东今天也发朋友圈表示：“按照Bitfinex自己的说法USDT是没问题的，但我无法对Bitfinex进行担保，我只倾向于相信Bitfinex。”
Jo Dong, one of the shareholders in Bitfinex, also said today, “It's okay for us to use the USDT as Bitfinex, but I can't guarantee Bitfinex, and I tend to believe only in Bitfinex.”
