In case someone is wondering about Tether, there has not been new coins for about a week now:

Thanks, saved me checking Bitfinexed for new news.

Interesting. What happens if, say, Bitfinex runs out?

Runs out of what? If you mean Tether. They can keep doing "grant token" as long as they want.

I will be publishing a blog on the market schemes of different token soon as there seem to be a lot of hype.

The difference between “new coin” and “grant token” is eluding me here.

"Grant token" is the command for generating new token/coin.

OK. Maybe i am assuming there have been no new Tether tokens because the “granter” decided not to grant anymore, but it has actually been a market response?

I am wondering... if they can grant new tokens, why havent they? Lack of demand?

Maybe market response, maybe due to increase focus from people on the "granter" account. It can be n-number of things.

I understand. Thanks. I was assuming things!
