Coinbase Unveils USDT Custody, Then Deletes Announcement

Coinbase Custody, an international institutional cryptocurrency holdings arm of well-known U.S. exchange Coinbase, announced compatibility for stablecoin Tether (USDT), only to delete traces of the announcement shortly thereafter. 

Coinbase Custody, as well as Tether CTO Paolo Ardoino, unveiled a USDT listing on the Coinbase platform in May 30 tweets, according to CoinDesk reporting on June 10. The tweets have since been deleted at some point between their posting and the June 10 report.
