Tether Holdings, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin, will need to produce balance sheets, income statements, cash-flow statements and profit-and-loss statements under the order. It also will have to provide documents to establish sufficient reserves for its stablecoin, tether, including account statements for all its banks.
