We are proud to welcome Tether, the largest company in the digital asset industry, as a Diamond Sponsor of GM Vietnam 2025. As the backbone of global crypto liquidity and a pioneer in the stablecoin movement, Tether’s presence brings unmatched financial depth and credibility to Southeast Asia’s premier Web3 gathering.
At a time when digital finance demands stability, transparency, and trust, Tether has continued to deliver, powering a $156B USD₮ ecosystem, investing across multiple real-world sectors, and reaffirming its commitment to decentralized economies.
USD₮: A Legacy of Stability and Scale
Since launching in 2014, Tether’s USD₮ has evolved into the largest and most widely adopted stablecoin in the world. Designed to maintain a 1:1 peg with the U.S. dollar, USD₮ serves as the primary source of liquidity for the global crypto economy. Today, it is issued on a wide range of leading blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON, Solana, and more.
With nearly 156 billion USD₮ in circulation (as of June 2025), Tether holds over 62% of the global stablecoin market share. It ranks as the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, after Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Its consistent utility in trading, remittances, on/off-ramps, and DeFi has made it the de facto liquidity standard across the industry.
Strengthening the Foundation: Transparency, Reserves, and Global Strategy
Under the leadership of CEO Paolo Ardoino since 2023, Tether has taken a proactive stance on reserves, regulation, and real-world investment.
- Fully backed reserves: While no longer 100% USD-only, Tether’s reserves now include U.S. Treasuries, cash equivalents, Bitcoin, gold, and secured loans.
- High liquidity: Over $120B in U.S. government bonds and $10B+ in BTC held to ensure 1:1 redemption.
- Quarterly attestations: Regular transparency reports ensure confidence in Tether’s collateral and capital.
Tether Investments, its dedicated venture arm, is also pushing boundaries:
- Acquired ~33.7% of Elemental Altus Royalties, a public gold royalties company.
- Holds nearly 80 tonnes of physical gold.
- Invests across AI (Blackrock Neurotech), crypto mining (Bitdeer), media (Rumble), Web3 (Orionx), and even sports (Juventus FC).
These moves underscore Tether’s evolution from a stablecoin provider into a full-fledged fintech conglomerate.
The Role of USD₮ in Emerging Markets and Web3 Adoption
USD₮ is more than a stablecoin; it’s a financial lifeline in volatile economies. In regions like Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, USD₮ facilitates access to stable currency, protects savings, and connects users to the global digital economy.
Tether’s commitment to these markets includes:
- Deploying stablecoins pegged to multiple fiat currencies and gold.
- Supporting local exchanges and onramps to drive grassroots crypto adoption.
- Enabling DeFi participation through multi-chain presence and high-speed transfers.
With Paolo Ardoino actively advocating for financial freedom, Tether continues to break down entry barriers for real users and real economies.
