Tether CTO Hints at “Mind-Blowing” Upcoming Initiatives
According to Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, the company is “quite close” to adding “another extremely powerful piece of the puzzle” to its ecosystem.
Ardoino said a couple of these upcoming projects are designed to disrupt some well-known Web2 centralized services. While he did not specify which services, the CEO said all the projects will be “pure real-world ecosystem projects or things that people actually need.”
Expanding Beyond Just Stablecoin Issuance
Ardoino’s comments underscore Tether’s commitment to expanding beyond just stablecoin issuance.
In recent months, the company has delved into other digital asset areas. For example, Tether invested in sustainable Bitcoin mining operations in Uruguay.
The latest news comes after Tether published its Q3 attestation report showing $32 billion in excess reserves backing its stablecoins.
Conclusion
Tether is pushing forward with new initiatives like sustainable mining and P2P technology as it cements itself as a major player in the broader crypto ecosystem. The upcoming projects for 2024 will enable the company to disrupt mainstream Web2 services as it brings its offerings to a wider audience.
