On October 21, the Wall Street Journal reported that in early August, a large cargo plane parked at an airport in eastern Germany, which had been used to transport military aid to Ukraine, was attacked by drones carrying explosives. German officials stated that the drones were operated by Russian military intelligence personnel. According to official sources, one drone collided with the Antonov cargo plane but failed to detonate; another collided with another aircraft; and a third exploded in the vicinity of the airport. Investigators pointed out that if the attack had succeeded as planned, it could have caused serious disruption and casualties at one of Europes most important air cargo hubs. European officials familiar with the intelligence revealed that US intelligence agencies believe that this attempted attack at Leipzig-Halle Airport this summer was one of the "opening acts" in an escalating series of sabotage and covert operations directly ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin against NATO countries.Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama: The government is coordinating closely with the Bank of Japan, and there are no major disagreements on the inflation outlook and policies.Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama: Tax cuts will boost demand and push up prices.Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama: We will ensure the implementation of a proactive and responsible fiscal policy to enhance Japans supply capacity without accelerating inflation.October 21 – Japans exports continued their steady growth in September, with increases in chip and automobile shipments.

Stablecoin Tether hires BDO Italia for monthly proof-of-reserve reports

he biggest stablecoin in the world, Tether, said on Thursday that it has hired the accounting company BDO Italia to attest for its asset reserves. By the end of the year, it plans to publish its reports monthly rather than quarterly.


A stablecoin is a form of cryptocurrency with a fixed value, such as a 1:1 peg to the dollar. They are often used to transfer money into conventional currency or between other cryptocurrencies.


According to Tether, the currency maintains its value by maintaining dollar-denominated reserves that are equal to or greater than the value of Tether coins currently in circulation. These reserves have long been the focus of investigation, which intensified in May when the collapse of the stablecoin TerraUSD caused a sell-off in the cryptocurrency markets.


The British Virgin Islands-based corporation Tether has recently issued papers in which accounting firms vouch for the extent of its cash holdings. As of March 31, the reserves were at $82.4 billion, of which $39 billion was held in US Treasury bonds and $20 billion in commercial paper.


The latter two studies were produced by MHA Cayman, a company from the Cayman Islands.


According to its website, Tether has previously worked with Moore Cayman, a different Cayman Islands company.


BDO Italia is an independent member firm of BDO International Limited and an Italian-based audit and assurance business. At least two of Tether's executives are from Italy. According to Chief Technology Officer Paolo Ardoino, the majority of the team's personnel are headquartered in Europe and the Bahamas, where the majority of the reserves are held.


The partnership between Tether and BDO Italia, the business stated in a statement, is "the next stage in the firm's route towards a thorough audit."


According to Ardoino, "Our community has requested over time to enhance the auditing company that we are utilizing because they thought they needed something greater."


According to Ardoino, Tether would reduce its holdings of commercial paper from $8.4 billion on July 1 to $200 million by the end of August. He omitted to say which assets these monies had been invested in.
