Stablecoin Giant Tether Rekindles Plans to Break Into US Market: Report

Stablecoin Giant Tether Rekindles Plans to Break Into US Market: Report

Tether is laying the groundwork for a fresh push into the US, spurred by a major shift in the country’s regulatory climate. CEO Paolo Ardoino told Bloomberg in an interview Wednesday that the company is moving ahead with its domestic strategy, following last week’s signing of landmark stablecoin legislation by US President Donald Trump. The so-called GENIUS Act is expected to expand the role of stablecoins in global finance, potentially allowing banks, card networks and tech firms to issue their own digital tokens. “We are well in progress of establishing our US domestic strategy,” Ardoino told Bloomberg. “It’s going to be focused on the US institutional markets, providing an efficient stablecoin for payments but also for interbank settlements and trading.” The passage of landmark US crypto legislation signed into law last week by President Donald Trump is prompting the world’s largest issuer of stablecoins to make plans to do business in the US again https://t.co/9xig1dihLB — Bloomberg (@business) July 23, 2025 Tether Shakes Off Past Scrutiny as USDT Circulation Surges His announcement signals a notable reversal for Tether, which has kept its operations largely offshore since 2021, when it paid nearly $60m to settle allegations with US regulators . The company was barred from operating in New York after the attorney general’s office accused it of making false claims about its reserves. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission also fined Tether for misleading the public about how well its stablecoin was backed. Despite the regulatory setbacks, Tether’s USDT token has remained dominant globally, with more than $162b in circulation. That figure is up 18% since the start of the year. Its closest rival, USDC issued by Circle Internet Group, has a circulating supply of around $64.7b. Tether Rejects IPO Route Even as Circle’s Stock Soars Tether’s renewed focus on the US comes as competition heats up. Circle, which went public in June , has seen its stock surge over 500% since its debut. Tether, however, has no plans to follow suit. “In general we are not interested in becoming a public company,” Ardoino said. The new legislation appears to be opening doors that were previously shut. Ardoino, along with other crypto executives, attended the White House bill signing. The law could, for the first time, help normalize stablecoin usage, both in crypto trading and across mainstream financial infrastructure. Tether has long been under fire for a lack of transparency, particularly regarding its reserves. Audits, promised for years, have yet to materialize. But Ardoino said the company has been in contact with auditing firms in recent weeks. As it re-engages with the US, Tether looks committed to its primary strategy of leading in emerging markets. Ardoino said that these regions are a key priority, where the company believes it maintains a strong advantage over competitors. “This is something that Tether has done incredibly well for the past 10 years,” he said. “We have a better technology, we have a much better understanding of this market than anyone else.”

Senate Shakes Up Crypto With Major New Market Structure Draft

Senate Shakes Up Crypto With Major New Market Structure Draft

The U.S. Senate Banking Committee has introduced a long-awaited draft bill to reshape how digital assets are classified and regulated in the United States. Titled the Responsible Financial Innovation Act of 2025 , the draft introduced by Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott (R-SC), alongside Senators Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), and Bernie Moreno (R-OH), seeks to create a comprehensive legal framework for digital assets, addressing long-standing regulatory uncertainty in the crypto space. New Senate Crypto Bill Proposes Clear Framework for Token Classification and Oversight The legislation, released just days after the GENIUS Act was signed into law, builds on momentum from the House-passed CLARITY Act and incorporates key elements from the bipartisan Lummis-Gillibrand initiative. Source: Responsible Financial Innovation Act of 2025 One of the bill’s most consequential provisions is the explicit recognition that digital assets, referred to as “ancillary assets,” are not inherently securities. It clarifies that secondary market transactions involving these tokens should not automatically fall under securities laws. However, exceptions apply: if a token’s value is closely tied to promises of profit through managerial efforts, securities laws could still be triggered. In addition, the draft legislation attempts to resolve the persistent jurisdictional tension between the SEC and CFTC. Under the proposed framework, most digital assets would be regulated as commodities, falling primarily under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), while the SEC would retain oversight of investment contracts and investor protection matters. The bill instructs the SEC to modernize disclosure rules and adapt its record-keeping systems to account for blockchain-based financial activity, ensuring compatibility with Web3 ecosystems. Beyond token classification, the legislation spans more than 35 areas of focus. It includes requests for public feedback on topics such as stablecoin regulation, custody frameworks, DeFi exemptions, and illicit finance concerns, including tactics like “ pig butchering” scams . The draft also proposes a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements, shielding developers from premature enforcement actions, provided their projects meet certain transparency and decentralization standards. Additionally, developers who do not custody user funds could be exempt from some registration requirements, an important provision for open-source innovators. Senator Tim Scott emphasized the bill’s collaborative approach, saying, “This bill gives Congress the opportunity to hear from industry and regulators alike before finalizing a legal framework that protects consumers and encourages responsible innovation.” Stakeholder input is now being solicited, particularly on areas where the SEC and CFTC’s jurisdiction may overlap, with Senate Banking Committee hearings expected in the coming weeks as lawmakers move toward introducing a finalized version. Senate Push for Market Structure Reform Gains Momentum After GENIUS Act Signing Momentum for U.S. crypto legislation continued to build this week with the new draft legislation after President Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act into law , marking a landmark moment in federal regulation. 🏛️U.S. President Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act into law on Friday afternoon in a landmark bill signing at the White House. https://t.co/WWqbXyzetr — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) July 18, 2025 The GENIUS Act, passed with broad bipartisan support, provides the first federal framework for stablecoin issuers and will take effect 18 months after signing or 120 days after federal regulators, including the Treasury and the Federal Reserve, issue final rules. Alongside the GENIUS Act, two other major proposals, the CLARITY Act and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, are advancing in Congress. The CLARITY Act was recently approved by the House Agriculture Committee. Meanwhile, the Anti-CBDC Act seeks to block any retail digital dollar issued by the Federal Reserve. 🇺🇸 GENIUS Act, Anti-CBDC Act, and CLARITY Act pass crucial procedural vote 215-211 in Congress after Trump's decisive Oval Office intervention rescues stalled crypto agenda. #GeniusAct #Trump https://t.co/Lm2tCBbimp — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) July 16, 2025 Industry executives are watching closely. Ian De Bode of Ondo Finance described the new legislation as “the beginning of a new regulatory era,” pointing to bipartisan cooperation and the role of key figures like Patrick McHenry. Senator Tim Scott said lawmakers are planning to finalize crypto market structure legislation by September 30 . With the GENIUS Act now law and several other bills in motion, the U.S. digital asset space is edging closer to a defined regulatory framework, one that could reshape the crypto sector heading into 2026.
