Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin, is undergoing a reorganization to reflect its expansion into various aspects of the digital asset space. The company has formed four divisions – Data, Finance, Power, and Edu(cation) – to signify its broadening focus beyond stablecoins.
According to Tether, these divisions represent its diversified mission, with each division serving a distinct purpose. The Data division will handle strategic investments in technology, including artificial intelligence (AI). Finance will oversee the USDT stablecoin, which boasts a market cap exceeding $100 billion and holds a significant role in crypto markets. Power will encompass investments in bitcoin (BTC) mining, while Edu will focus on educational initiatives.
The establishment of these divisions marks a paradigm shift in Tether’s approach, signaling its commitment to financial empowerment and sustainable solutions. Tether aims to adapt to the evolving needs of individuals, communities, and economies by investing in responsible Bitcoin mining, AI infrastructure, and decentralized communication platforms.
While Tether has already been active in these areas, the formation of distinct divisions underscores its growing emphasis on interests beyond its flagship stablecoin. In the past year, the company has made investments in BTC mining operations in Uruguay, a payment processor in Georgia, and AI initiatives through partnerships with data cloud provider Northern Data Group.
Despite its expansion efforts, Tether continues to face scrutiny over the transparency of the reserves backing USDT. The company’s commitment to transparency and accountability remains a subject of ongoing discussion within the crypto community.
