The reason why it grew soooo much was the pandemic. During the early days of pandemic people wanted to get out of crypto and they still didn't wanted to take all their cash out to their bank accounts, that wasn't something ideal for them, so what they ended up doing was move their money from crypto to usdt which made it a bit more difficult because there wasn't enough usdt, there was only 4.6 billion and honestly crypto market is so much bigger, they were a bit late but not too late and increased it to 11 billion dollars, which people just bought it all because most still wanted out.

Obviously this is not sustainable and usdt will eventually go down and people will sell their usdt for usd and the number will go down one day but until that moment this really works for people.

if people get out of btc - why price ob btc began grow from March 2020, just after drop of price?

at binance -
1)
from September 1st, to September 17th
was sold about 60 000 more btc than bought btc

60 000 btc now cost about 600 mln usd

at the same time - from September 1st, to September 17th
was issued about 1, 700 mln of usdt


i dont check difference of (sold - bought) btc  at other exchanges,


2) from September 5th, to September 17th
was sold about 30 000 more btc than bought btc
and at this period price of btc go up

so at this period people sold more than buy, but price go up (i think by limit orders - keeping price while market orders move price up)

Most people use it to convert their alts during bleeding season. They don't have all that money on hand to be provided and most people already realize that. Use it as a back up to save yourself from crash but don't hold in for too long. that would be my suggestion. By now, there are many other alternatives to tether if one chooses to use. Risk is similar.

usdt is used for trading at cryptoexchanges. Amount of trading in usdt corresponds to amount of trading in btc and eth.

https://coinmarketcap.com/ - cryptocurrencies tab
compare Volume (24 hour) for ( btc + eth ) and usdt

From August, 1st up to today -
at binance => diffrence between total purchased volume and total sold volume of btc = about minus 27 000 btc
more was sold than bought

issued usdt from August, 1st up to today => 800 millions usdt

price of btc today is same as at August 1st

They already said that their USDT is not backed 1:1 by fiat (wording aside, we know what it implies): https://www.coindesk.com/tether-says-its-usdt-stablecoin-may-not-be-backed-by-fiat-alone.

So I guess this pump machine is still continuing. Their banking issues are also popping up every now and then. In short, never store your money in USDT for too long.

Starting from March 2020, every time there was a issue of tether, there was rally of btc

first rally was from middle of March, when btc dropped to 3600, and after this begin restore

At binance - starting from middle of March, 2020, difference between total volume of purchased btc and sold btc are negative, but btc are moving up

so problem as for me is - that btc grows up - while the difference between buy and sell volumes is negative
and total volume of this difference corresponds to volume of issued tether (volume of difference is smaller than cost of issued tether)

I didnt checked difference between total volume of purchased btc and sold btc at other exchanges, will be curious make this check for coinbase and other real spot exchanges with real trading, like OKEX and LMAX Digital

when tether is issued - after issuance usdt is moved to wallets at bitfinex, huobi, binance - as i saw

usdt tether market cap grows from 4,6 billions to 10,800 billions from March 2020

For last week - when btc jumped from 9 000 to 11 000 - tether issued 800 millions usdt

Do you think tether really has fiat for backing this usdt?  Wink

There are several reasons that I could think of:
1. They don't want BTC to drop for whatever reason, maybe die-hard fans.
2. They want to liquidate the short on the margin market so they got profits as the majority are trying to short.
3. They don't really think about TA and stuff like that and just need to buy a lot of bitcoin.

Your who question is impossible to answer unless you ask Binance.


as i see from actions of these buys :
- these actions take all btc that is sold
- and important - these actions are keeping price at some level

so, as i understand, they want mostly to keep price, but for this they should also get all additional  btc that is sold

what group of people is interested in this?
i roughly understand what they do, but i dont understand - who are they as group of people.


there is chart at link with sample how price is moved up after dropping down by sold volume
https://ibb.co/Kh22CY2

1 bar - 1 minute
time is - gmt + 3
to move price from 6770 to 6880 - was bought about 300 btc, that costs about $2 000 000

so some group for 30 minutes moved price up by $100 - by firing 2 mln usd for this.
Why they were fired - because when all are selling - they bought and move price up,
If they want just buy btc - they can buy btc that is sold - and dont move price up
so as i see  - main goal of them - keep price.

what group of people want to keep price and have 600 mln usd per month for this?

of course, could be more groups of people
- first group move price up when all sold
- second group bought all btc that is sold

than question - what group have so $$$  that they can move price up and fire so $$ for this?

You should rather focus on another question. Who supplied them with so many bitcoins? Are long term holders selling at these low prices?
Who could afford to sell this much for 6000 dollars when the price was at 10 thousand since January? Are so many investors selling at a loss?

as i see from charts - yes, many investors are selling

but if i  am smart rich guy and want to buy btc - i can buy btc at 4000 and buy it there by small amount by limit orders without moving price up
they are placing limit orders, not market.

but they are placing limit orders to keep price, and market orders to move price up

i see picture - delta is negative, but market move up and keep price
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: at binance from March, 12 up to now someone spent 600 mln usd to buy btc on: April 11, 2020, 10:22:31 PM
there are charts at link:





1st chart - pricing, 1 bar - 1 hour

2nd chart:
- green - total btc that was bought from start of period of chart
- red - total btc that was sold from start of period of chart

3rd chart:
delta = total bought - total sold -  from start of period of chart

up to now amount that is sold is bigger than amount that is bought

but some groups are taking these btc and just keep price, they move price up
from March 13 and are keeping long ago, from March, 20

if they are smart rich guys - why they bought btc when price is just keeping at place from at 6600 from March, 20 for example?

they just place limit orders and take all that is sold





14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: at binance from March, 12 up to now someone spent 600 mln usd to buy btc on: April 11, 2020, 09:45:22 PM
source - data gathered from binance public API. they give info about trades, amounts.

just get this data and make simple calculations
delta = (amount of btc that was sold on exchange) -  (amount of btc that was bought on exchange)
this delta for this period = about 100 000 btc

but price at this time period was moved from 7300 down to 3900 and later up to 6800
so result price move is only about $500 per btc

so some groups of people take these btc and payed about 600 mln usd for them, and at result keep prices
I am very curious - what groups  could make this and why
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / at binance from March, 12 up to now someone spent 600 mln usd to buy btc on: April 11, 2020, 09:26:57 PM
at binance from March, 12 up to now (April, 11) someone bought bitcoin and spent 600 mln usd to keep bitcoin at price from 7,200  up to current 6,800

all people there sell bitcoin, and someone bought all this btc, total cost of purchases are about 600 mln usd 
Delta  between btc that was sold  and was bought - about 100 000 btc

any ideas - who, why?
