so this tweet happened directly after a eth tether were sent out. my guess would be someone is swapping out OMNI for ETH. .. cc @dividebyninehttps://twitter.com/whale_alert/status/1133757435292917761 …

Yep,
@bitfinex Omni to ETH swap. Other leg:https://www.omniexplorer.info/tx/830617c0e175dce45bbfc40fb0c038f49776742262b137eca8ac09de6c70097c …1 reply 0 retweets 7 likes -
thanks for the confirmation. Is there a move to leave omni or just managing technical debt ?

We are seeing an increase of issuance of Tether on ETH, especially since one week ago. Bitfinex is also used a lot as a swapping center for traders to send in Tether Omni and get Tether ERC20 and viceversa. So we need to balance our books on demand.

Can we expect to see a destroy event ?

It's quite a while (3 weeks) we did not get a redeem request. Currently we see only demand for new issuance and seems there is a really strong confidence in Tether. When the trend will reverse we'll definitely see destroy event.

one more question. how are swaps handled accounting wise? tether treasury on your balance sheet counts as total obligations. Isnt there a risk of "doubling up"?

.
@bitfinex uses `USE` to identify Tether-ERC20 tx layer and `USO` for Tether-Omni. When a user deposits/wd we just credit/debit `UST` (USDt) because USE/USO are just chain layers. Books balance up for `UST`, while USE/USO show surplus/deficit due to different market demand.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes
So basically there is no risk of doubling. We just end up with too many Tether-Omni and too few Tether-ERC20 based on the current withdrawal requests and we proceed with the swapping.
