Haha, after a decade of FUD, turns out USDT were more cautious and diligent with their funds, than the "regulated and transparent" USDC. Still risky, of course. No substitute to holding proper BTC.

This refers to facts not in evidence.
The potential collapse of USDC is not a reflection on the Tether fraud in any way. Outcomes in one are not evidence for or against anything in the other and it is a mistake to conflate them.
Note that this is not because of mismanagement at Circle. This is because these banks bought 10yr bonds and MBSes and now that there is a bank run they have to take huge losses if they have to liquidate. Circle in fact managed this really well IMHO with 75% backing in 36 day t-bills that can be liquidated fast.
Circle/USDC apparently was the one that told SEC to go after Paxos/BUSD. USDC depegs and then Coinbase halts USDC/USD trapping people to either sell for a loss or wait for a miracle everything works out. The irony of it all.
