In the context of an increasingly competitive stablecoin market, Tether – the company behind the USDT worth $148 billion – is preparing to launch a brand new stablecoin aimed at the U.S. market. CEO Paolo Ardoino revealed that the product could be launched as early as the end of this year or early 2026, depending on the progress of completing the legal framework for stablecoins in the U.S.
New stablecoin – Not a copy of USDT
According to Ardoino, #USDT was originally designed for emerging markets where people have difficulty accessing USD. Meanwhile, the new stablecoin will be a specialized payment product for the U.S. market, targeting:
Large financial institutions
Customers are using applications like PayPal and CashApp
Systems need stable, fast, and regulatory-compliant payment methods
"In the U.S., you need to create a payment product that can be used at the institutional level – a real competitor to CashApp," Ardoino emphasized.
Tether accelerates in the U.S. – Thanks to Trump reducing pressure on crypto
#Tether is expanding its influence in the U.S. as Donald Trump returns to the White House, making the legal environment for crypto somewhat more favorable. Evidence:
Ardoino continuously appears at financial conferences in the U.S. in 2025
Tether currently holds over $100 billion in assets in U.S. Treasury bonds, managed by investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald
Former CEO of Cantor, Howard Lutnick, currently serves as Secretary of Commerce in the Trump administration
This is a sign that Tether is no longer on the sidelines of the 'legal game' in the U.S., but is participating more deeply to prepare for global competition in the stablecoin sector.
The stablecoin race is heating up every day
Not only Tether, Circle – the issuer of USDC worth $62 billion – is also ramping up new plans, including building a cross-border payment network and international money transfers.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government is pushing forward with legislation regulating stablecoins – a key factor determining who will lead this market in the future.
According to forecasts from Citi, the stablecoin market could grow to a size of trillions of USD before the end of this decade.
Contacting the crypto market and Binance users
The emergence of a new stablecoin from Tether could change the landscape of payments and transactions on platforms like Binance, especially in the U.S. Users need to be aware:
The impact of the new stablecoin on transaction fees and liquidity
The ability to integrate directly into the Binance ecosystem if supported
The change in strategy of other stablecoins like $USDC , DAI, or $FDUSD
Risk warning: Although stablecoins are stable assets, they still depend on legal policies and fluctuations in the global financial market. Investing in or using stablecoins needs to be considered carefully. Crypto is always a high-risk market and not suitable for all investors.
