Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino argues that USDT is a key force in maintaining the US dollar’s global dominance.
He claims that Tether has built an extensive network over the past decade, integrating its stablecoin into financial systems worldwide, from digital remittances to payment infrastructures and on-the-ground adoption efforts in developing nations.
Ardoino highlights USDT’s rapid growth, with over 400 million users and millions of new wallets created each quarter, particularly in regions with limited banking access.
He suggests that this widespread adoption directly benefits the US economy by reinforcing trust in the dollar.
Despite this success, Ardoino says Tether faces relentless opposition from competitors, who he claims are focused on dismantling USDT rather than improving their own products.
He portrays these attacks as a broader challenge to US dollar supremacy, emphasizing Tether’s significant holdings in US treasuries as evidence of its financial influence.
