- Tether is forming a new framework that signals a focus on AI, finance, mining, and education with an interest in becoming a financial powerhouse.
- The stablecoin issuer has launched different divisions to embark on a journey to become a leader in not just the crypto industry but the entire technology space.
Tether has announced plans to expand its business with an interest in AI, finance, mining, and the education industry. The company will look to expand its business through newly launched divisions including Tether Data, Tether Finance, Tether Power, and Tether Edu. These divisions will allow for the company to offer a variety of businesses.
The issuer of the USDT stablecoin which is backed by the U.S. dollar is looking to create more businesses that will facilitate financial inclusion regardless of location or background. At the core of this business is a need to support the adoption of digital assets. Through blockchain technology, the company aims to revolutionize the financial system.
Paolo Ardoino, Tether’s CEO, sees their new departments as the foundation for a financial and technological ecosystem that is open to everyone, minimizes environmental impact, and gives individuals and communities more power over their financial lives.
Speaking on the development, Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether stated:
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. We’re Tether. We use technology to empower individuals, communities, cities, and nations to become self-sustainable, independent, and free. Be unstoppable, together,
As CNF reported, the company ventured into the Bitcoin mining industry last year. The company announced that it is investing $500 million in Bitcoin mining to diversify its business and become a major player in the industry. The investment includes building mining facilities in South and Central America and acquiring stakes in existing mining companies.
Last week the company CEO revealed that the Bitcoin mining project is close to completion. This could prove to be crucial with the next Bitcoin halving now just days away. Historically, this event leads to a shake-up, driving smaller operations out of the market, and leaving bigger and more efficient operations.
Additionally, Tether has already entered the AI space. Tether recently addressed worries about limited access to AI development by entering the field themselves. Their focus lies on creating open-source models, aiming to democratize AI technology and establish new standards within the industry.
As CNF recently reported, The US Treasury undersecretary has highlighted Russia’s alleged use of Tether (USDT) to bypass international sanctions and finance its military activities. These allegations continue to raise concerns about the future of the project but the company has shown resilience in its commitment to become a financial powerhouse.
