Tether, the world's largest stablecoin issuer, announced yesterday that it would introduce a new stablecoin, USAT, that would comply with US regulations. This sparked controversy, as Tether's largest stablecoin, USDT, failed to comply with US regulations.
Bo Hines, formerly the White House cryptocurrency advisor, was appointed to manage the USAT token.
