John Kiff on 28 Jun 23Dollar-pegged stablecoin TrueUSD (TUSD) is trading at a discount relative to Tether (USDT), hitting a low of 80 cents on June 28, 2023. TUSD is the #5 stablecoin in terms of market capitalization ($3.1 billion versus Tether's $83.4 billion and USD Coin's (USDC's) $28.2 billion on June 28, according to CoinGecko.com). The spike is being attributed to questions around TUSD's reserves, some of which is purportedly being held and/or managed by troubled Prime Trust Bank, and rumors regarding holders' inability to redeem TUSD.
