Tether’s Increasing Efforts To Diversify
In May 2023, Tether announced that it would start allocating as much as 15% of its profits into bitcoin and now holds over $7.6 billion in BTC. This move was aimed at diversifying the company’s holdings during a year when it began printing cash. Lately, Tether has made mindful efforts to diversify its holdings and invest its capital in emerging sectors like AI, bitcoin mining and decentralized communications.
Besides, Paolo Ardoino, Tether’s CEO, has expressed ambitions to venture into other technological sectors, including artificial intelligence and energy. As per a previous report, Tether could bring some of its artificial intelligence plans to fruition by early 2025.
Delisting Concerns
Tether faces growing concerns as there is a lot of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) in the market around USDT’s legality in Europe once the MiCA rules are enforced. With the full implementation of the Markets In Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation today, there are increasing concerns over the potential delisting of Tether.
Amidst growing concerns, USDT’s market cap fell from $140.5 billion to $138 billion over the past week, declining by $2 billion, which is the largest drop in a year of continuous growth. While the stablecoin will only exit the centralized exchanges in the EU, USDT will still be available on DEXs and P2P platforms.
