I thought you were going to say: JPMC, Black Rock, Goldman Sachs, etc. The vast bulk of it are crypto currency companies.

Instead it's basically $186 million from Square and $5 billion from a questionable Microstategery investment decision.

JPMC has trillions under management, seems like they would want to invest, right? Or are they worried that Tether is currently untethered to reality?

who knows what those biggies do, I'm sure they don't publish their moves out in the open like this nor do I think they hold actual coin. They're probably just holding option positions on CBOE and CME.

Fuck tether though.
