Tether Deposits Over $1 Billion Amid Legal Battle
Tether, the largest stablecoin issuer, has made a deposit of more than $1 billion with a subsidiary of Britannia Financial Group, which is currently embroiled in a legal dispute with Arbitral International. This deposit comes at a time when Tether’s market capitalization experienced significant growth, increasing by $3 billion in just one week according to CoinGecko data.
Britannia Financial is facing allegations of failing to pay the full price for a brokerage it acquired from Arbitral, with the dispute centering around an additional payment based on the business’s revenue-generating assets.

Britannia has refuted these claims, stating that Tether’s deposit was made with its London-based subsidiary, Britannia Global Markets, and was facilitated by a professional introducer who has had a long-standing commercial relationship with Tether.
