Tether is pushing USDT into a cracking $3 trillion Wall Street debt machine as defaults hit five-year highs at major funds

- Tether — the empire that already cornered 60% of crypto lending — just walked into the $3 trillion private-credit market, right as defaults at Blue Owl, Ares, Blackstone and Golub hit five-year highs. Peak manifest timing. StableFund launches with $400M from Tether and Fasanara, chasing $3B from institutions, with USDT riding the settlement rails. Aggressive passive income, except the fine print about who eats losses first? Unsealed cargo. Fasanara deploys; Tether originates. Professional solidarity — until a default lands on someone's stack-eye. FSB already warned the sector's untested in a downturn, but sure, an evergreen fund with undisclosed redemption terms will fix that. Where's my cut? Not in this manifest. Watch the junior tranche — whoever holds it holds the crash.
