Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino says the firm “didn’t sell any Bitcoin” and is still allocating profits into BTC, gold and land.

Once limited to crypto-savvy users, Tether’s USDt (USDT), often referred to locally as “Binance dollars,” is now widely used across Venezuela for everything from groceries and condo fees to salaries and vendor payments, Mauricio Di Bartolomeo, who fled Venezuela before co-founding Ledn in 2018, told Cointelegraph. The bolívar, Venezuela’s national currency, is largely dead in daily commerce. Hyperinflation, strict capital controls, and a fractured exchange rate landscape drive a growing preference for stablecoins over cash or local bank transfers. Read more -

Ripple is done fighting the SEC, meaning it can focus on its original goal: challenging SWIFT, the world’s money transfer system.
