We have identified the issue with a backend client used by our parsing engine that appears to have locked up/become non responsive. We have restarted all applicable processes and are monitoring them while they verify & resync. This process should take ~ 2-3 hours to complete.

This is a bad sign.
As tether runs in btc blockchain, this should not be happening.
Maybe something wrong is going on with omni or bitifnex?

I hope this get solved soon. Few people talking about it and almost no cryptocurrency website is covering this
