According to Tether's CEO Paolo Ardoino, Tether Investments' commodity liquidity fund, designed to finance commodity transactions, is expected to reach between $3 to $5 billion by 2026. This fund will provide capital for commodity brokers and earn profits from short-term financing. Tether Investments has partnered with some of the largest commodity traders in the industry and completed a $45 million oil financing deal in October 2024 as a starting point. The use of USDT in these transactions is said to provide greater transparency and higher speed. This fund is financed by the profits from Tether's issuance of the USDT stablecoin.
