Any time you see the word "blockchain" replace it with "Slow Database" in your head and see if it still makes sense.

If many people are trying to BUY USDT (increasing demand for USDT) the price of USDT will increase. Tether tries to prevent this by printing more USDT (increasing supply). They are not "magicking" Dollars, they are magicking a commodity (USDT) pegged to Dollar.

I'm not saying that I'm a big Tether fan or anything. However to say that it "doesn't make sense" when they print more Tether during market crashes is false.

Tether demand INCREASES when the cryptomarkets crash because traders want to escape to non-volatile assets. If everyone converts their crypto to USDT at the same time (which is what happens during big crashes) they MUST print more Tether or the price will increase.

That stock would be priced at the market rate. If a company’s stock price tanks due to lack of demand, that is bad for the company. Similarly, companies with failing stock prices have problems attracting (and bleeding) talent.
