Tether has moved to changed the power dynamic on Solana.
Following the $285M North Korea-linked hack, Tether is stepping in to save Drift Protocol:
✅ $127.5M recovery injection
✅ Drift is dropping $USDC as its primary settlement layer
✅ Switching to $USDT for 24/7 liquidity and faster security response
When the chips were down, Tether moved while others waited for a court order.
