Tether to Launch U.S.-Dollar-Backed Stablecoin by 2025—Because the World Needs More ’Stable’ Crypto

Tether, the controversial kingpin of stablecoins, just dropped a bombshell: a new U.S.-backed stablecoin is coming by 2025. Because nothing says ’trust us’ like pegging yet another digital token to the dollar—while regulators scramble to keep up.

Why this matters: With crypto volatility still wilder than a meme-stock rally, Tether’s move could either anchor the market or become another ’stable’ asset that’s anything but. Spoiler: Wall Street will still charge you 2% for the privilege of holding the real thing.

Tether is set to launch a U.S.-based stablecoin by the end of this year, with CEO Paolo Ardoino strengthening relationships with Washington. This move comes as the political landscape shifts under Trump’s influence, paving the way for more crypto-friendly regulations. The launch of Tether’s stablecoin marks a significant step in expanding its offerings and solidifying its presence in the global crypto market.
