The corporate interests taking over Bitcoin development

Disagreement over a seemingly minor change to OP_RETURN unearthed hidden corporate interests influencing Bitcoin development.

Cash is 0.04% of Tether’s assets

Tether’s most recent attestation claims approximately $120 billion in exposure to US Treasuries, but a paltry $64 million in cash.

Bitcoin Core moderators are using GitHub repository controls to mute and ban contributors to a viral debate about OP_RETURN data storage.

Crypto exchanges report around $55M in RLUSD volume over the last 24 hours — 99.4% less than Circle’s $9.8B for its much larger USDC.

Bitcoin developers are arguing furiously about setting standards for the use of OP_Return for non-financial data storage.
