AnalysisThe Tether vs. Cash-Dollar Spread: A Signal That Matters More Than the Price Itself (Gap Near 39,000 Tomans, July 2026)

They read two spreads: Tether versus the free-market cash dollar, and the free dollar (around 190,000 tomans) versus the Exchange Center's "agreed" rate (near 150,900 tomans), a gap that reached about 39,000 tomans by Tuesday, 21 July 2026.
