According to reports, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino responded to comments made by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse in a recent interview about the stablecoin Tether (USDT) on social media.

Ardoino said that an uninformed CEO leading a company under SEC investigation launched a competitive stablecoin (cui prodest), spreading fear about USDT.
