Tether Leaning on Bahamas-Based Britannia as US Banks Cut Crypto Ties
• Britannia Bank & Trust processes dollar transfers for Tether • Stablecoin issuer faces long-standing questions on reserves
Stablecoin issuer Tether has added Britannia Bank & Trust, a privately-held bank operating in the Bahamas, to process dollar transfers, according to people familiar with the matter.
