Arthur Hayes: Tether’s Strategy Depends on Fed Rate Cuts and Poses a Risk to USDT
- Arthur Hayes believes that Tether is focusing on the Fed’s rate cut.
- He warned that a 30% drop in the price of bitcoin and gold could leave Tether without capital.
- That is, it would theoretically make USDT insolvent, as the crypto expert stressed.
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of the BitMEX crypto exchange, said that the latest audit of Tether indicates that the company expects the Federal Reserve to cut its key rate, which could drastically reduce its interest income.
According to him, this is why the USDT issuer is increasing the share of gold and bitcoin in its reserves — as a hedge against the “falling price of money.”
Hayes stressed that such a strategy carries risks.
He also suggested that “some large holders and exchanges will demand a real-time view of their B/S so they can assess the solvency risk of Tether”.
In his opinion, the situation may attract significant attention from traditional media.
As a reminder, at the end of Q3, the company acquired $1 billion worth of bitcoins, and its net profit since the beginning of the year has reached $10 billion.
At the same time, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino confirmed in a commentary to Bloomberg that the company forecasts $15 billion in profit by 2025.
According to Jefferies, Tether has also become one of the world’s largest holders of gold outside the central bank sector. As of the end of September 2025, the company’s reserves amounted to 116 tonnes of gold, which is about the same amount as Hungary and South Korea. The company also relies on tokenised gold as part of its investment products.

Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise
The post Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, filed to raise $4 billion through an at-the-market equity offering to expand its SOL holdings. The company’s stock (FORD) fell 8.2% following the announcement, while the proceeds could more than double the $3.1 billion currently held in Solana treasuries. DeFi Development Corp. also registered a preferred stock offering with the SEC, following similar funding tactics used by Bitcoin treasury companies like MicroStrategy. Forward Industries, the newest and largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed to raise $4 billion through an at-the-market equity offering. For the sake of comparison, this $4 billion raise is nearly the same size as Bitcoin treasury Strategy’s Stride preferred stock raise in July. And it’s double the size of the Strife preferred stock offering the company did in May. The proceeds would be used for working capital; pursuit of its Solana token strategy, and “the purchase of income-generating assets to grow its business,” the company said in a press release. Forward Industries declined to comment to Decrypt on what other income-generating assets it’s considering adding to its balance sheet. As markets opened Wednesday morning, Forward saw its stock price take a dive. The shares, which trade under the FORD ticker on the Nasdaq, dipped to $31.29 before rebounding to $34.28 at the time of writing—marking a 8.2% fall for the session. If the company sells all the shares and spends the bulk of the proceeds on buying Solana, it could more than double the amount of SOL being held in treasuries. At the time of writing, there’s already $3.1 billion in Solana treasuries, according to crypto price aggregator CoinGecko. Users on Myriad, a prediction market owned by Decrypt parent company DASTAN, have been growing more confident that SOL will reach $250 sooner than…
