Tether Expands Business to Include New Divisions beyond Stablecoins

by

Tether Limited, the organization managing the popular stablecoin USDT (United States Dollar Tether), has revealed plans for an expansion of their business scope. Going forward, they will explore ventures beyond stablecoins, unveiling fresh infrastructure projects and establishing new departments to accommodate a broader range of initiatives.

Based on a recent announcement from Tether’s official source, the company has unveiled four new divisions: Tether Data, Tether Finance, Tether Power, and Tether Edu. The organization intends to concentrate on eco-friendly approaches that can adjust to market fluctuations, aiming to establish a financially and technologically robust infrastructure for the future.

The New Tether Divisions

Tether’s Finance division, which was previously announced as one of four sectors, is not new in the sense that it handles Tether’s financial services. This includes managing the USDT stablecoin. With this division, Tether aims to construct financial infrastructure for mainstream cryptocurrency acceptance using blockchain technology. Moreover, they plan to introduce a digital asset tokenization platform under the Finance umbrella.

The Data department will excel in cutting-edge technologies, primarily concentrating on innovation and strategic implementation. Tether Data is set to pioneer advancements through peer-to-peer networks and artificial intelligence (AI), utilizing tools such as Holepunch, a P2P application builder introduced in 2022. Regarding the Power division, their main objective is to champion eco-friendly Bitcoin mining initiatives, thereby reinforcing the security of the Bitcoin network. The Energy sector will amplify Tether’s commitment to mining and renewable resources.

In the end, Tether will put resources into teaching digital skills and make it accessible worldwide via Tether Edu. This division will foster understanding, competence, and overall familiarity with digital technology by backing educational projects. Additionally, Tether Edu will facilitate the acceptance of P2P and blockchain technologies in communities both near and far.

Using Technology to Distrupt Conventions

In simpler terms, Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, claims that Tether’s stablecoin has already disrupted the standard financial system. Now, the company aims to bring about more disruptions to traditional systems in the name of fairness.

“Moving beyond our standard stablecoin solutions, we’re prepared to develop and facilitate the creation and application of advanced tech that breaks through current limitations. We are Tether. Our technology aims to strengthen the capability of individuals, communities, cities, and countries to achieve self-sufficiency, autonomy, and freedom.” – Ardoino expressed.

Tether is nearing the finish of investing a total of $500 million in Bitcoin mining. They have already built mining operations equipped with renewable energy sources in countries rich in renewable energy. These sites can be found in El Salvador, Paraguay, and Uruguay.

The CEO explained that the company selected these countries for reasons beyond their energy riches. To prevent the concentration of mining power in one place, Paolo Ardoino emphasized the need to keep it decentralized. He acknowledged the favorable attitudes of US states like Texas and Kentucky towards mining companies, with their attractive energy deals and tax incentives. Nevertheless, he stressed the significance of dispersing mining power to mitigate potential hazards associated with centralization.
