Tether discount creating artificial premium between USDT & USD

Tether's current trading value against USD has created a huge spread between USDT and USD traded pairs. A possible reason is tether's long-standing lack of transparency or the perceived safer stable coin competitors. aureliusbtc on Twitter noticed the gap on multiple spot exchanges using USDT vs. BitMEX long before I did, and linked this article about possible risk that USDT has on the cryptospace:

Here's a CCN article about regulated stablecoins vs. tether:

Trusting financial giants with your money is the antithesis of bitcoin but it looks like a necessity to bring new investors to lose their money to trading bots and FUD.
