Tether CEO Reveals the "Four Stability" Vision and Massive Investment Landscape

Tether is quietly building its "infinite funding chasm" strategy. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino shared the company's on-chain layout ideas, its direction for billions in investments, a systematic strategy for AI and energy, and its long-term ambition to establish an open brain-computer interface system.

From Tech Geek to Stablecoin Captain

Paolo describes himself as a "tech fanatic" with 32 years of programming experience. He initially worked as a senior developer at a trading platform, later becoming CTO, until he became the CEO of Tether in 2023. His philosophy is to create a technological system that can endure even in the worst scenarios.

In the past few years, Tether has transformed from being heavily criticized to becoming one of the most profitable companies in the world, with a profit of 13 billion dollars last year alone. Paolo believes that the entire industry is still in its early stages, and the concept of "stablecoin" proposed by Tether when it was founded in 2014 has now garnered widespread attention.

The global influence of stablecoins is increasing day by day, especially prominent in developing countries. Paolo calls on U.S. regulators to provide appropriate safeguards for overseas issuers like USDT, as they are crucial for maintaining the global status of the dollar and purchasing U.S. Treasury bonds.

Borrow USDT to Improve the Livelihoods of People in High Inflation Countries

In high-inflation countries like Turkey and Argentina, USDT provides a hedge for the public. The widespread use of smartphones and a high proportion of young people are key factors driving the adoption of digital dollars. After young people learn to use cryptocurrencies, they pass on their knowledge to their parents, helping them safely hold digital dollars through smartphones.

Tether is building its own energy and financial infrastructure in Africa. They are creating solar-powered financial service kiosks to provide rechargeable batteries and digital wallet services to villages without electricity. It is expected to cover about 30 million African households by 2030.

In addition to USDT, Tether has also launched Tether Gold. Paolo believes that this is the best asset tokenization product they can offer outside of Bitcoin. With BRICS preparing gold-backed digital currencies, Tether hopes to provide alternatives for emerging markets in advance.

Adhere to ecological neutrality and provide users with the optimal on-chain path

Tether plans to develop an algorithm in its new wallet and products that allows users to automatically bridge part of their funds through USDT to the "lowest transaction fee" and "fastest confirmation speed" blockchain. Paolo emphasized that this algorithm will be completely open and transparent to maintain a neutral stance towards all chains.

Opening the Billion Dollar Investment Game

Of the more than $20 billion that Tether has earned in the past two or three years, less than 5% has been distributed to shareholders. Approximately $14 billion of the remaining amount is used for diversified investments:

1. Expand the global distribution network, invest in terminal nodes and payment infrastructure.
2. Invest in digital distribution platforms such as Rumble
3. Invest in the agricultural sector, such as Adecoagro, the largest single landowner in South America.
4. Bitcoin Mining and Energy Sector Investment
5. Investment in AI infrastructure, such as Northern Data
6. Investment in brain-machine interface technology, such as Blackrock Neurotech

Paolo emphasized that Tether's business model allows the company to remain privately held in the long term, without the need to go public or be accountable for quarterly financial reports, enabling it to engage in long-term investments and thinking.

Tether's "Four Stability" Philosophy

Paolo positions Tether as a "stable company", providing four types of "stability" for society:

1. Currency Stability: Through stablecoins and Bitcoin
2. Communication Stability: Ensuring Freedom of Speech
3. Intelligent Stability: Prevent AI from being Centrally Controlled
4. Energy Stability: Establish a Decentralized Energy System

Paolo believes that only the combination of these four elements can truly stabilize society. He predicts that in the future, every AI agent will have a self-custody wallet, and is likely to choose USDT as one of the main currencies.

Tether is committed to maintaining independence and avoiding becoming a negative force. Even if changes occur in the future, it is hoped that the technology created can exist independently, which is the core appeal of peer-to-peer technology.
