On-chain data shows $50 million at risk as Tether’s Alloy shutdown deadline boils down to 5 forgotten gold vaults

The remaining exposure is far smaller than the aUSDT contract’s headline supply. Alloy’s official vault data showed five open collateral-mint positions with 399,088.74 aUSDT of debt and 194.41497 XAUT of collateral at 00:04:52 UTC on Aug. 10.

Alloy’s open position debt fell 56% to 399,088.74 aUSDT by Aug. 10, with its platform recovery route closing Sept. 17.
