Tether: So far, it has invested 1.5 billion dollars to expand commodity trade financing and explore a new model of stablecoins + physical assets

According to Cointelegraph, Tether Holdings SA announced that it has deployed approximately $1.5 billion in credit lines to the commodity trade finance sector and plans to "significantly expand" this business.

The company stated that it will utilize its nearly $200 billion asset reserve to provide loans in the form of US dollars and its stablecoin USDT, covering commodity trades such as oil, cotton, and wheat. This move is seen as Tether's strategic transformation from a single stablecoin issuer to a comprehensive platform of "digital assets + trade finance," which may promote further integration of stablecoins with traditional physical assets.
