8-6-2025 – Tether’s chief executive, Paolo Ardoino, declared that a public listing could propel the company to a staggering $515 billion market valuation, placing it among the global elite as the 19th largest corporation, eclipsing titans such as Costco and Coca-Cola. Ardoino tempered this bold projection with a note of caution, suggesting that Tether’s burgeoning reserves in Bitcoin and gold might render this estimate conservative.
Yet, with a commitment to humility, the company is poised to embark on its next chapter of growth. Tether is channelling its efforts into crafting a robust hedging instrument, designed to offer stability in an era of social unrest and a negative equity risk premium, underscoring its ambition to navigate turbulent economic waters with purpose and resilience.
