“We’re Tether. We use technology to empower individuals, communities, cities, and nations to become self-sustainable, independent, and free. With this evolution beyond our traditional stablecoin offerings, we are ready to build and support the invention and implementation of cutting-edge technology that removes the limitations of what’s possible in this world.”
Tether’s Recent Strategic Partnerships and Technological Innovations
Tether has been actively expanding its ecosystem through strategic partnerships and technological innovations to keep up with the evolving world of tech and crypto while maintaining its leadership position and relevance.
With a total circulation of over 100 billion tokens, USDT exceeds several countries’ gross domestic product (GDP), including Panama, Venezuela, and Luxembourg. This makes it the largest stablecoin by market cap, and it currently has around 27 billion tokens in circulation.
Tether recently partnered with Fuze, a digital assets infrastructure provider, to enhance education and awareness surrounding digital assets in Turkey and the Middle East. Through this partnership, Tether aims to promote the adoption of digital assets such as Bitcoin and Stablecoins like USDT to facilitate cross-border payments. The initiative includes educational campaigns, workshops, and collaborations with local financial institutions to drive the region’s awareness and adoption of digital assets.
Tether has also expanded its reach by launching its stablecoin, USDT, on the Celo chain. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for both Tether and Celo, offering users access to a stablecoin on a mobile-friendly platform designed for financial inclusion.
Tether has also recently introduced a recovery tool to facilitate the seamless migration of its USDT stablecoin between blockchains. This tool aims to mitigate the risks associated with potential blockchain unresponsiveness, allowing users to securely migrate their USDT holdings between supported blockchains.
