Tether, a giant in the stablecoin space and the issuer of USD₮, has just announced a historic move: appointing Simon McWilliams as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), tasked with leading the company in conducting a comprehensive financial audit.

These moves not only help Tether solidify its operational foundation but also affirm its position as a critical bridge between the crypto market and the global financial system.
Tether is now also the 18th largest holder of U.S. government bonds, with an investment portfolio exceeding 113 billion USD. This means that Tether:
✔️ Surpassing many major economies such as Germany and the UAE in holding U.S. public debt.
✔️ Contributing to vital liquidity provision in the U.S. bond market, supporting the stability of the USD.
📌 What does this mean?
