The Stable Coin Tether, which is closely linked to the stock market crash, is suspected to influence the crypto-market. As it says in the study:
By using Algorithms to Blockchain-analyze data, we have found out that Tether purchases with declines in the markets fell together, and in the rise in the Bitcoin exchange rate resulted.
As you can read on the BTC ACADEMY in Detail, the promise of Stable Coins how to Tether especially, a fixed value map. A unit Tether (USDT) is therefore equivalent to one US Dollar – so the promise of the Tether Limited. This combines the advantages of Cryptocurrency with the stability of state currencies: stablecoins you can act quickly, without a loss of Value to fight.

Tether is printing dollars in a matter of seconds
The Problem: Tether may Tether, theoretically, in a matter of seconds to print. Although it provides according to ensure that for every digital printed Tether a US Dollar in one Form or another, is deposited. On the actual cover, and legality of the Stable Coins, however, there was always a doubt. Accordingly, it is said in the scientific Paper to create a Bitcoin-price-Manipulation by Tether:
The pattern [suggest] that it is not investor demand, but unsecured, digital money that is the crypto-inflates prices.

Our results indicate that instead of Thousands of investors, only a single influence the Bitcoin rate.
Further, all the way to the fact that the transactions would fall under the Radar of the stock exchanges. It is said in the new study, according to Bloomberg:
This pattern is only available in periods after the pressure of Tether available, powered by a single large account holders and under the Radar of other exchanges. Simulations show that these patterns are most likely coincidental. This is a great player, or this company was either a clairvoyant market timing, or had a extremely large influence on the Bitcoin price, which is not observed in the total of other smaller traders flock to.
