<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex claimed Friday that it had paid back another $100 million to Tether after reportedly taking out $700 million from Tether’s reserves last year. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The loan was meant to make up for Bitfinex’s estimated $850 million financial loss after its payment processor, Crypto Capital, saw its funds seized by authorities, according to a previous </span><a href="https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2019/attorney-general-james-announces-court-order-against-crypto-currency-company"><span style="font-weight: 400;">announcement</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> by the New York Attorney General’s office.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The exchange previously said that it had </span><a href="https://www.bitfinex.com/posts/394"><span style="font-weight: 400;">repaid</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> $100 million to Tether under the loan facility in July 2019.
