Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin USDT, has announced plans to launch a special stablecoin for the United States.
In an interview with the Financial Times, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that the company has been in discussions regarding U.S. stablecoin regulations, and depending on the developments in these talks, they may create a token specifically for the U.S.
Ardoino mentioned that the potential U.S. stablecoin would primarily function as a payment tool, and if new regulations make U.S. stablecoins more competitive, Tether would be interested in pursuing such a move.
Additionally, he highlighted that the Trump administration views stablecoins as “a critical tool for the U.S.” and is working on regulations that would require foreign stablecoin issuers to comply with U.S. laws.
