Tether Attestation Shows $1.3B Q2 Profit and $5.2B Excess Reserves

Tether reported $1.3 billion in Q2 net operating profit through its latest BDO attestation. Excess reserves stood at $5.2 billion above the full backing of outstanding USDT.

The profit stems from interest income on short-term U.S. Treasury holdings that back the stablecoin. The excess reserve figure provides a cushion above liabilities at the reporting date.
