Tether may launch new stablecoin for U.S. market

If the U.S. government imposes restrictions on foreign stablecoin issuers, Tether is ready to launch a separate asset specifically for the American market.
 

This was stated by Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, who added that the company had already taken a similar approach in the European Union.
 

Adapting for the U.S. Market

«We believe that USDT is a perfect fit for emerging markets, but we can create a new asset with a different value proposition for the U.S.,» said Ardoino.
 

He emphasized that Tether remains focused on emerging economies and sees no major issues with the current regulatory environment. Even if the proposed laws pass, they do not prohibit USDT circulation on DeFi platforms.
 

Precedent Already Exists

Tether has already taken a similar step in the EU. Through its portfolio company Quantoz Payments, it launched stablecoins pegged to the dollar and euro that fully comply with the MiCA regulation.
