CoinShares Research Director: Market's Concerns About Tether "Seem Unfounded," Current Data Does Not Show Systemic Vulnerabilities
**December 6 – Concerns over stablecoin issuer Tether’s financial health have resurfaced this week, sparked by a warning from BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes that the firm could face a severe crisis if its reserve asset values drop.**
**However, CoinShares Research Director James Butterfill has pushed back against these claims. In CoinShares’ Dec. 5 market update report, Butterfill stated concerns about Tether’s solvency “appear unfounded.”**
**He noted Tether’s latest audit shows the firm holds $181 billion in reserve assets, with liabilities of roughly $174.45 billion—leaving a surplus of nearly $6.8 billion. “While stablecoin risks shouldn’t be entirely dismissed, current data doesn’t point to any systemic vulnerabilities,” he added.**
**Tether remains one of the sector’s most profitable companies, raking in $10 billion in profits through the first three quarters of this year.**

CEX Whale Ratio Surges Dramatically, Inflow of BTC to Binance Nears Yearly Peak, Whales Engage in Safe-Haven and Profit-Taking Moves After Price Recovery
On December 6, Cointelegraph reported that the exchange whale ratio has recently surged, with the overall ratio across all exchanges now at 0.47—suggesting large Bitcoin holders are increasingly moving their holdings to exchanges.
This trend is especially pronounced on Binance, where the 14-day exponential moving average (EMA) has climbed to 0.427—its highest level since April.
Whale deposits typically signal a sell-off phase, as large institutions often leverage Binance’s liquidity to offload holdings en masse. With Bitcoin struggling to break above the $93,000 resistance level, this shift points to intensifying selling pressure. If the trend persists, the price will likely consolidate before attempting another breakout or retesting key support levels.
On-chain data shows that as of November 28, the 30-day simple moving average (SMA) of BTC inflows to Binance hit 8,915 coins—near the annual peak of 9,031 coins recorded on March 3. Historical data indicates similar inflow peak
