According to PANews, Paolo Ardoino, the CEO of Tether Holdings Ltd., has revealed that the company's investment division anticipates investing over $1 billion in trading in the next 12 months. Ardoino stated in an interview that Tether Investments has a growing team, currently consisting of 15 employees, who evaluate hundreds of projects each month, with the majority coming directly from start-ups. The company focuses on alternative financial infrastructure in emerging markets, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology. Over the past two years, the company has invested approximately $2 billion in these areas.
Despite Tether's plan to continue maintaining 100% reserves and extracting an additional 6% buffer from profits to ensure smooth redemption of USDT, Ardoino expects a portion of the remaining profits to be invested in trading. To help expand its distribution network, the company is investing in infrastructure in emerging markets. The company has also invested over $1 billion in the field of artificial intelligence, such as supporting data center operators like Northern Data Group.
