Direct answer
The historic library files a Tether paper whose index line is fiat currencies on the Bitcoin blockchain.
This page does not audit reserves, attestations, or solvency, and it does not republish the text. Authors and year were not re-verified from the file.
Why it is in the corpus
- It is in the library, so it gets a record. A record is not an endorsement and not a rating.
Where to read
- Official source — Publisher site. Not a claim that this URL is the historic PDF.
- Legacy library pathThe old URL stays. It is served from the Internet Archive copy of the previous site.
Legacy path remains. This page does not describe reserves.
Full text
Full text is not published on this page. Public availability is not a licence to republish a document. Blockchain Lab has not recorded a licence that permits an HTML transcription, a training set, or a retrieval corpus of the paper. Text on this page is Blockchain Lab's own wording, or a pointer to a study that is also Blockchain Lab's wording.
Claims and assumptions
Blockchain Lab's reading of what the document is doing. Not a quotation and not the source text.
- The library's own index line says the paper is about fiat currencies represented on a Bitcoin-era chain.
Assumptions
- Any promise to redeem is a claim about an issuer and its assets. The PDF is not evidence this page has checked.
What changed
The live token's chain, terms, and disclosures moved on. None of that is established here.
Relationships
- ConceptStablecoin
- Different designDai, which names collateral instead of a fiat issuer
