Tether Moves to Acquire Juventus in Landmark Crypto-Sports Deal $USDT
Tether has submitted a binding, all-cash proposal to acquire 65.4% of Juventus Football Club from Exor, the club’s majority shareholder. If approved by regulators and accepted by Exor, Tether plans to launch a public tender offer for the remaining shares at the same price.$USDT
The company also committed to investing up to €1 billion to support and grow Juventus after the acquisition is completed, fully funded by Tether’s own capital.
According to CEO Paolo Ardoino, Juventus represents discipline, resilience, and long-term continuity—values he says align closely with how Tether has been built. The move signals a strategic shift for Tether, from being purely a stablecoin issuer to becoming a long-term capital investor in traditional institutions.
From a business perspective, full ownership would give Tether control over a globally recognized sports brand, expanding its reach beyond financial infrastructure into media, entertainment, and the global fan economy.
Unlike sponsorships or fan-token partnerships, ownership places Tether at the center of Juventus’ governance and long-term strategy.
The proposal follows a series of high-profile moves by Tether, including regulatory recognition of USDT in Abu Dhabi, exploration of tokenized equity structures, and investments in AI, robotics, and privacy-focused consumer technology.
While Juventus has previously engaged with crypto through fan tokens and sponsorships, this proposal goes far beyond past collaborations. If finalized, it would mark one of the first cases where a major digital asset company takes full operational control of a top-tier football club.$USDT
The transaction remains subject to Exor’s approval, legal agreements, and regulatory clearance.

How Russia Uses Crypto to Bypass Western Sanctions in 2025
Western sanctions were designed to financially isolate Russia, but by 2025, Russia has adapted using a resilient crypto-based payment system.
Investigations reveal that Russian-linked OTC desks accept rubles domestically, convert them into stablecoins or crypto, and settle cross-border trade payments without relying on banks or SWIFT. This system is widely used for imports, dual-use goods, and personal fund transfers.
Garantex played a central role as a liquidity hub for OTC desks, migrants, and trade payments. Even after sanctions, users continued moving funds through Garantex, often via proxies in the UAE.
When authorities seized Garantex’s infrastructure in March 2025, large crypto reserves were quickly consolidated. Over 3,200 ETH were routed through Tornado Cash, while dormant Bitcoin $BTC

wallets became active—signaling treasury management rather than panic selling.
Almost immediately, a successor platform called Grinex emerged, effectively rebranding Garantex’s operations. Users reported balances reappearing under the new name.
By mid-2025, over $25 million in BTC and ETH had already been distributed to former users.

payouts used complex obfuscation via mixers, DeFi protocols, and cross-chain bridges, while Bitcoin payouts were simpler and more centralized—revealing weaknesses in enforcement.
The core issue isn’t the absence of sanctions, but enforcement speed. Crypto infrastructure moves liquidity in hours, while regulatory actions take weeks or months.
As of October 2025, the system remains operational. This is not the collapse of an exchange—but the evolution of a parallel financial network built to survive sanction$BNB
