CryptoWhale says that the failure of stablecoin is a matter of time.

The market capitalization of Tether just dropped by $800 million at 12.00 PM, Paris time as the stablecoin continues to lose its capitalization. This was reported by Cryptowhale in a tweet seen by Cryptoinfowatch.

“It’s not suspicious, it actually shows how robust USDT is. USDT has been able to go from over $80 billion market cap down to $69 billion without losing its peg. And they are still strong to redeem any amount on request. USDT is very liquid and highly redeemable.”

However, according to Cryptowhale, it is just a matter of time before USDT gives way. He said that folks who have their Bitcoins in exchanges will be …
