Tether Expands Operations
The recent partnership comes shortly after Tether announced an expansion of its operations. In March, the company introduced several new infrastructure solutions that cater to a more inclusive business. The new divisions introduced by the firm include Tether Edu, Tether Data, Tether Power, and Tether Finance.
Tether CEO explained that the firm has successfully achieved the disruption of the traditional ecosystem through its USDT stablecoin. Therefore, it is now focusing on further disruption of conventional systems to prompt fairness.
In a bold move, the company said it will soon complete its $500 million investment into Bitcoin mining. Meanwhile, Tether has built several mining operations in nations with renewable energy stations.
Furthermore, Tether has revealed its collaboration with blockchain analytics startup Chainalysis. The partnership was in response to growing criticism of Tether’s role in facilitating cross-border transactions, especially in countries subject to sanctions.
