I'm curious of more-informed opinions as well first. This article is about potentially another hash war, which as another dynamic in this market, would be awful and be salt in our wounds? https://hacked.com/satoshi-nakamoto-is-mining-cryptocurrency-again-bitcoin-cash-attack-imminent/

Tether fiasco is a healthy thing for crypto market and its good it has began. I think it's interconnected with regulation and institutional engagement.

I'm not sure its been priced-in by crypto market, but i don't expect significant drop in prices if it hasn't yet.

I think it could be beneficial as well. Though I think a drop is more probable than not probable basis this potential scenario of it being completely taken out of the market having never happened before so we don't have an historical price and more importantly real volume-effect measurable. The market perception of this topic is fragile. The question I have is if a liquidity channel, a multi billion liquidity channel is potentially closed, what channel or channels stand to benefit and what is the lead time of the exodus?

Or then this might happen to potentially kick the can down the road? https://www.coindesk.com/bitfinex-is-planning-to-issue-an-exchange-token-shareholder-says

Also perplexed why Nasdaq's XRPLX includes it given the uncertainty at this time?

I tend to think it is mostly priced in. People know Tether is unbacked, and they don't seem to really care. The fact that we haven't seen a run on it already, I feel, is evidence that people find the need for its utility great enough to bear the risk of being the last ones standing when the music stops.

Do you think pricing re-evaluations across the board

creates a crash catalyst as well like we saw with Korean exchanges January 2018?
