Tether Plans to Explore Lending Opportunities in the Commodities Trading Sector
Oct 15, 2024 at 04:01 pm
In a strategic move, stablecoin issuer Tether has revealed plans to explore lending opportunities in the commodities trading sector
Stablecoin issuer Tether is planning to venture into the commodities trading sector by offering lending services, according to people familiar with the matter.
The move comes as smaller commodity trading firms face difficulties in obtaining credit lines from traditional lenders, creating an opportunity for Tether to offer a less regulated and more flexible funding option, the people said.
Paolo Ardoino, Tether's CEO, confirmed the company's interest in the commodity space, which is still in the early stages of being explored by the firm, according to the report.
The company has hired a team to specifically develop trade finance opportunities and has been making its presence felt in the industry.
Tether executives attended two key industry events in September — a commodity finance industry gathering in Geneva and LME Week in London — showcasing the company's commitment to this new direction, the people said.
The move marks a departure from Tether's previous focus on the cryptocurrency market. The company has already gained a foothold in certain regions, such as Russia and Venezuela, where USDT is used to facilitate cross-border transactions amid US sanctions.
However, the company's massive profits, with billions in reserves, are presenting new opportunities for capital deployment.
The commodities market, with its vast array of assets and complex trading dynamics, offers a natural next step for Tether.
But the move also comes with risks, as the company has limited experience in the commodities sector and may face challenges in navigating the complexities of the market.
Despite these challenges, Tether's foray into commodities could potentially reshape the landscape of global trade finance.
If successful, the move could solidify the company's position as a major player in the financial world, extending beyond the cryptocurrency sphere.
