Tether plans to launch a US-focused stablecoin by late 2025, pending regulatory developments in Congress. The company is expanding into real-world assets through acquisitions, gold-backed tokens, and infrastructure investments. Tether seems unsatisfied even though USDT has dominated the global stablecoin market. The company confirmed that they are preparing to launch a new stablecoin that will be focused specifically on the United States market, according to CNBC. The target? At the earliest, late 2025 or early 2026, if the discussion of the stablecoin law by the US Congress has not been completed. Interestingly, this new product is not another version of USDT, but a stablecoin that is designed to comply with American legal and financial regulatory standards. While USDT has so far been more widely circulated abroad, especially in emerging markets, this new stablecoin could be Tether’s entry ticket into the US domestic financial scene. It’s not just about regulatory compliance, but also about image—Tether seems to want to prove that they are not just a global player, but also capable of playing on their home turf. More Than Just a Stablecoin: Tether’s Investment Tracks in the Real World However, this stablecoin project is not the only big thing that Tether is working on. On April 30, 2025, the company just completed the acquisition of 70% of Adecoagro—a Latin American-based agriculture and renewable energy company. Following the acquisition, five members of Adecoagro’s board of directors were immediately replaced. The reason? To align with Tether’s long-term strategy, which is now starting to talk more about physical infrastructure and tokenizing real-world assets through the Hadron platform. Just imagine if agriculture and energy could be accessed in the form of tokens in a digital wallet, this could be the beginning of a big change. Furthermore, earlier this month, Tether also released its quarterly financial report showing an operating profit of more than $1 billion. It is indeed down from the previous quarter which had touched $6 billion, but it still shows solid performance. Their ownership of US government bonds has also increased, approaching $120 billion—a position that makes Tether one of the largest Treasury holders in the world. Add to that, the number of active user wallets also increased by 13 percent. This means that the adoption of their products is still growing, not stuck there. On the other hand, CNF previously reported that Tether Gold (XAU₮) continues to grow, with physical backing of more than 7.7 tons of gold stored in Switzerland. Each XAU₮ token represents one troy ounce of gold, suitable for those who want to hedge without having to keep physical gold under their pillow. This approach is starting to attract attention because it combines traditional assets with crypto technology. And it’s not over yet. At the end of April, Tether partnered with Bitfinex and Japanese giant SoftBank to establish a new investment company called 21 Capital. Its initial value reached $3.6 billion, with initial ownership of 42,000 BTC. If you calculate it, they will immediately enter the ranks of the largest BTC owners in the world.
