Tether Reaches 500 Million Users, Marking a Milestone in Global Financial Inclusion
Tether has surpassed 500 million users worldwide, in what CEO Paolo Ardoino called “the biggest financial inclusion achievement in history.” The stablecoin’s growth underscores how digital dollars like USDT are transforming access to finance, especially in countries with high inflation or limited banking infrastructure.
To celebrate the milestone, Tether released a documentary highlighting adoption in Kenya — where citizens and small businesses rely on USDT not for speculation, but for survival. With a market cap of $182 billion and 58% of the global stablecoin market, Tether’s reach continues to expand as it reshapes how the world transacts and saves.
