Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino and market analysts pushed back against S&P Global's downgraded rating of USDt's (USDT) ability to maintain its US dollar peg, saying that the ratings agency did not account for all of Tether's assets and revenues. The Tether Group's total assets at the end of Q3 2025 totaled about $215 billion, while its total stablecoin liabilities were about $184.5 billion, according to Ardoino, who referenced Tether's Q3 attestation report.

S&P Global downgraded USDt's dollar-peg rating to "weak" on Wednesday, the lowest score on its scale, prompting…...
