Tether已任命Simon McWilliams为新的首席财务官（CFO）为领先的Stablecoin发行人迈向完成全财务审计。

Tether, the leading stablecoin issuer, has appointed Simon McWilliams as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Chairman of the Group.

领先的Stablecoin发行人Tether任命Simon McWilliams为新的首席财务官（CFO）和该集团董事长。

McWilliams, a finance executive with over 20 years of experience, is set to lead Tether’s transparency and regulatory engagement efforts as the company moves toward completing a full financial audit. The appointment, according to the company’s announcement, represents a “firm commitment to completing a full audit, a crucial step in raising industry standards and strengthening regulatory engagement.”

拥有20多年经验的财务主管McWilliams将领导Tether的透明度和监管参与工作，因为该公司朝着完成全面的财务审计迈进。根据该公司的宣布，该任命代表了“完成全面审计的坚定承诺，这是提高行业标准和加强监管参与的关键一步。”

The company currently publishes quarterly attestations of its reserves verified by accounting firm BDO, but it hasn’t yet undergone a full independent audit. The company has for years faced criticism surrounding its reserves, with various critics suggesting the firm didn’t have enough reserves to fully back the USDT in circulation.

该公司目前发布了通过会计师事务所BDO验证其储备的季度证明，但尚未进行完整的独立审计。该公司多年来一直面临围绕其储备的批评，各种批评者表明该公司没有足够的储备来完全支持USDT流通。

The New York Attorney General’s office in 2021 settled with Bitfinex over a 22-month inquiry into whether the exchange covered up a loss of $850 million in customer and corporate funds. That inquiry found that “Tether’s claims that its virtual currency was fully backed by U.S. dollars at all times was a lie.”

纽约总检察长办公室于2021年与Bitfinex定居22个月的询问，以了解该交易所是否覆盖了8.5亿美元的客户和公司资金损失。该调查发现，“束缚的声称其虚拟货币始终得到美元的完全支持，这是一个谎言。”

A full audit could provide more detailed insight into Tether’s reserves. Three and a half years ago, the firm’s General Counsel Stuart Hoegner said in an interview with TokenInsight that an audit was just “months, not years” away.

完整的审核可以为Tether的储备提供更详细的见解。三年半前，该公司的总法律顾问斯图尔特·霍格纳（Stuart Hoegner）在接受TokenInsight采访时说，审计只是“几个月，而不是几年”。

The stablecoin giant holds over $113 billion in U.S. Treasury bills, making it one of the largest holders of U.S. government debt, and reported a $13 billion profit for 2024. The company said these holdings contribute to global liquidity and support access to the U.S. dollar, particularly in emerging markets.

Stablecoin巨头持有超过1,130亿美元的美国国库账单，使其成为美国政府债务最大的持有人之一，并报告了2024年的130亿美元利润。该公司表示，这些持股有助于全球流动性，并支持对美元的流动性，尤其是在新兴市场中。

“Tether is once in a century company. And we’re laser focused on transparency, doubling down our efforts for a full audit,” Tether’s CEO Paolo Ardoino said on social media. “Simon’s hire is massive, truly a force of nature in the financial world.”

“系绳曾经是一家世纪的公司。而且，我们的激光专注于透明度，使我们进行全面审计的努力加倍。” Tether的首席执行官Paolo Ardoino在社交媒体上说。 “西蒙的雇用是巨大的，在金融界确实是自然的力量。”

As part of the leadership shift, Giancarlo Devasini, Tether’s longtime CFO, will transition to Chairman of the Group.

作为领导转变的一部分，系绳的长期首席财务官Giancarlo Devasini将过渡到该组织主席。
