Tether, the stablecoin that issuing USDT in Stablecoin form, has reportedly been looking at returning to the US to launch a digital asset pegged to dollars.
CNBC reported that the largest stablecoin issuing company in the world, which has a chief executive who continues to shape national crypto policy, plans to launch by year’s end a crypto asset pegged at the US dollar.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino confirmed the news of stablecoins in an interview given to CNBC. Ardoino said that Tether, which has its headquarters in El Salvador, is trying to change their image to be more cooperative with the law enforcement. They were previously known for being a “go to” cryptocurrency when it came to criminal activities.
Reports claim that Ardoino helped to shape important legislation such as the GENIUS Act, a bill which aims to provide clear guidelines for stablecoins. It also added provisions to Tether that would help with law enforcement.
According to CNBC and Ardoino.
There is no other company, even within the conventional financial system that works with law enforcement in such an extensive way. “We are constantly trying to improve and do more to stop criminal activity… We have better tools than traditional financial systems and we prove that every single day.”
Tether’s reserves are also addressed by the CEO. This was an issue for Tether in the past. It had to pay New York $18.5 million in 2021 because it was claimed that the company had lied about their reserve.
We are close to having 120 billion dollars in U.S. Treasury in our reserve. The company has $7 billion of excess equity. This is a truly unprecedented situation. I hope that traditional financial institutions would try to emulate us and provide their customers with better products .”
Tether now publishes regular attestation statements. It holds approximately $120 billion of U.S. Treasury bonds managed by financial giant Cantor Fitzgerald.
