Good to know! But for who is out of USA, I don’t think it’s a real big deal. Perhaps the value of single trade is huge enough or the quantity (number) of trades are a lot to make them interested in a person. IMHO
owning USDT is a big deal, especially when it can be freeze by a third party at any moment without consideration about your location or jurisdiction because Tether own "your" USDT (erc20...)
This discussion have two sides. Two points of view. My point of view is from a buyer and by my point of view, I doubt own 1.000 USDT for a time frame of a couple of hours (just to make a transaction) could be bad or even it's an amount of FIAT I couldn't afford to loose. If the seller accepts USDT (Tether) I definitely go for it.
