Tether burn – How does it work?
This works as follows: as soon As someone swaps USDT in Fiat, the Omni-Protocol, the corresponding number of tokens. The metadata also stores the log in a transaction on the Bitcoin Blockchain.

What does this mean?
In the end, that means, ultimately, is just 500 million dollars to someone (an individual, a company and/or multiple persons) has been paid. Since the Tether-course on the stock exchanges is under a Dollar, it means that someone (an individual, a company and/or several people) with the money now, Arbitrage the price difference so might take advantage of. Exactly how this works is here.
