According to the whispers in the Fortune teacup ☕, this deal is as noteworthy as a giant peach rolling into town.

While the traders wring their hands and mutter dark prophecies, Tether, the issuer of the ever-controversial USDT, has been on a shopping spree. Like a cat burglar in a jewelry store, they’ve snatched up over 960 BTC, a cool $98 million, adding to their already formidable stash.
