Why is the baseAsset of SOMIUSDT USDT?

The SOMI coin that was just added shows its baseAsset as USDT — shouldn’t it be SOMI?
Is this a simple mistake? Or is the baseAsset supposed to be USDT?

This is the result from https://fapi.binance.com/fapi/v1/exchangeInfo.

Only that coin behaves this way — the other coins don’t. It’s the first time a newly added coin has shown up as USDT. What should I do in this case? My trading program stopped because of that field. Should I fix the program by making an exception only for the SOMI coin? If this is indeed a bug, is there somewhere I can report it?
