Corrections

With money, even a small error can mislead someone. We publish the things we've changed after checking them here — so you can check our work, and so it keeps us honest. Reader corrections we act on go here too.

July 2026 · How FDUSD's issuer was described

An early draft of "What is FDUSD" described the issuer loosely as "a Hong Kong company." Corrected to First Digital Labs (First Digital), with a note that reserves and compliance are whatever its official disclosures say.

July 2026 · The fee in the "buying-USDT cost estimator"

The first version of the tool used a single fixed fee figure, which could read like a precise live rate. Changed to a fee range clearly marked "an estimate, actual per Binance's page," to avoid false precision.

July 2026 · How USDC's price in the SVB episode was written

"What is a stablecoin depeg" originally quoted an exact low for USDC at the time. To avoid giving a false "I watched it tick by tick" impression, it now reads "fell to around $0.87 and re-pegged a few days later" — a vaguer, checkable statement.
