Tether — the biggest stablecoin issuer — is planning a new US-based dollar stablecoin by late 2025 or early 2026, aimed at full compliance with American laws.

This signals a major shift in strategy, as Tether looks to boost regulatory alignment after years of scrutiny.

✅ Key Highlights:

1. A New Stablecoin Just for the US

• The new token will comply with US laws, separate from global USDT

• Launch depends on upcoming legislation outcomes in Washington

• CEO Paolo Ardoino confirmed the plan at Token2049 in Dubai

2. Lobbying Efforts in Washington Intensify

• Ardoino is meeting lawmakers and lobbying for the GENIUS Act

• He says Tether has the strongest law enforcement ties in the industry

• The goal: prove compliance and rebuild trust in the US market

3. Reserves Hit Nearly $120B — with Wall Street Backing

• Tether holds $120B in US Treasuries managed by Cantor Fitzgerald

• Q1 report shows $5.6B in excess reserves, slightly down from Dec

• Some controversy: Cantor is led by sons of the US Commerce Secretary

• Ardoino denies conflicts, says strong firewalls are in place

⚠️ Past Issues, New Strategy:

• In 2021, Tether paid $18.5M in fines for reserve misreporting

• Now it publishes routine reports, claiming it's better capitalized than banks

• Says it can survive major market shocks

🏛️ US Stablecoin Race Is Heating Up:

• Trump-backed World Liberty Financial is also launching a token

• Tether is racing to be first and fully compliant

• The outcome may depend more on Washington politics than crypto tech

➕ Why This Matters for Crypto:

Tether isn’t just building another stablecoin — it’s trying to redefine itself in the eyes of US regulators.

If successful, it could reshape the entire stablecoin landscape going into 2026.
