Tether is set to launch a new stablecoin specifically for the US market, a move that follows recent regulatory support from former President Trump. This decision aims to cater to the growing demand for stable digital currencies while ensuring compliance with US regulations.

Tether is looking to raise between $15 billion and $20 billion through a private placement, aiming for a valuation of around $500 billion. The fundraising, confirmed by CEO Paolo Ardoino, will focus on expanding Tether's business lines, including stablecoins and artificial intelligence, while positioning the company alongside major players like OpenAI and SpaceX.
