Tether's Strategic Move Towards a US-Only Stablecoin

In a groundbreaking interview with the Financial Times, Tether's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, revealed the company's contemplation of introducing a stablecoin exclusively for the United States market. This move comes amid ongoing discussions with the Trump administration, which recognizes the stablecoin ecosystem as a pivotal tool for the nation's financial infrastructure.

Ardoino emphasized that the decision to create a US-specific token hinges on the outcomes of these regulatory talks. With a staggering $144 billion worth of Tether tokens currently in circulation, the company notably does not cater to US customers, marking a potential shift in strategy.
