Tether Revolutionizes Trade Finance with $1.5 Billion in Commodity Loans
Tether is making waves beyond its stablecoin dominance, deploying $1.5 billion into commodity trade lending. This strategic pivot leverages USDT to offer rapid, high-yield loans—filling a void left by retreating traditional banks.
The company's Trade Finance unit, established in 2022, has already extended credit across oil, cotton, and agricultural markets. CEO Paolo Ardoino signals aggressive expansion, positioning Tether as a disruptive force in global commodity financing.
