As a seasoned analyst with years of experience in the cryptocurrency market, I find Tether’s recent moves towards diversification to be both strategic and visionary. Having closely observed the evolving landscape of digital finance, it is clear that Tether is positioning itself as a versatile player in the space.
Tether, the company behind stablecoins, has made its initial investment in venture capital for cryptocurrency, specifically in Arcanum Capital’s Arcanum Emerging Technologies Fund II – a fund that focuses on tokenized investments in cutting-edge decentralized Web3 projects – to the tune of $2 million.
As a researcher delving into the realm of financial technology, I personally focus on identifying and investing in blockchain solutions that significantly improve remittance systems, cross-border transactions, data privacy, and financial services for the underbanked population, as guided by my role at Arcanum Capital.
According to Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, the company, along with its fund, aims to emphasize two major goals: ensuring censorship-resistance and fostering open dialogue.
“A key concern today is the evolving relationship between financial systems and individual freedoms, particularly in the context of increasing restrictions on open communication. Geopolitical conflicts have exposed the vulnerabilities of centralized infrastructure.”
In a recent development, Tether has invested in a venture capital fund, marking another step in their strategy to expand beyond their core business as a stablecoin issuer.
Tether’s primary emphasis now lies in diversification, as stated by Ardoino to CryptoMoon. In the year 2025, they plan to further strengthen this approach.
2024: the year of diversification for Tether
In October, Tether put forward a proposal for a token backed by boron to the Turkish authorities. This mineral is commonly used in the production of household cleaning products, glass, and fertilizers. As per Eti Maden Isletmeleri Genel Mudurlugu, a state-owned company, Turkey holds approximately 70% of the global boron reserves.
In October, Tether successfully executed its initial energy financing deal, amounting to a $45 million oil transaction. This deal was funded using their USDT stablecoin and involved the transportation of approximately 670,000 barrels of crude oil from the Middle East.
As an analyst, I’d rephrase it like this: In the year 2025, I was part of a team that launched the Hadron tokenization platform. This innovative tool enables businesses, asset managers, and even countries to digitize real-world assets such as government securities and stocks, making them more accessible and tradable in the digital economy.
On Dec. 20, Ardoino announced Tether’s $775 million investment in the video platform Rumble.
On Rumble, a video-hosting site, they position themselves as an open forum where expressions aren’t moderated or restricted. This commitment to free speech significantly attracted Ardoino to invest in the platform.
