系绳首席执行官保罗·阿多利诺（Paolo Ardoino

当加密货币中最有影响力的公司的公众面孔Paolo Ardoino进入舞台时，与会者鼓掌并欢呼

Attendees at the Cantor Fitzgerald Global Technology Conference in New York on Wednesday clapped and cheered as Paolo Ardoino, the public face of perhaps the most influential company in crypto, entered the stage.

周三在纽约举行的Cantor Fitzgerald全球技术会议的与会者拍了拍并欢呼为Paolo Ardoino，这是加密货币中最有影响力的公司的公众面孔，进入了舞台。

Ardoino stood out from the crowd, not for his wealth but for his choice of attire. While others dressed to impress, he opted for a laid-back look — a light blue Ralph Lauren polo and gray khakis — despite likely having the deepest pockets in the room.

阿多诺（Ardoino）从人群中脱颖而出，不是为了他的财富，而是为了选择服装。当其他人打扮成印象深刻时，他选择了悠闲的外观 - 浅蓝色的拉尔夫·劳伦·波罗（Ralph Lauren Polo）和灰色的卡其色 - 尽管房间里有最深的口袋。

“This is my first trip to America,” he started off saying. “It’s beautiful. I feel very welcomed.”

“这是我第一次去美国之旅，”他开始说。 “很美丽。我感到非常受欢迎。”

Ardoino indeed avoided the country for a long time. The Italy-born computer scientist until recently mainly focused Tether’s operations on developing regions, with financial freedom as the stated goal.

Ardoino的确很长一段时间以来避免了该国。直到最近，这位意大利出生的计算机科学家主要集中于发展区域，并以财务自由为目标。

Another reason could be that Tether has been under scrutiny from industry leaders as well as U.S. authorities for some time, including the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Commodities and Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYFSD).

另一个原因可能是，林系受到行业领导人和美国当局的审查，包括司法部（DOJ），商品和期货贸易委员会（CFTC）和纽约州金融服务部（NYFSD）。

That’s changed. Ardoino has been on a tour of the U.S. over the past week, posting photos of himself on the U.S. Capitol Building steps in Washington D.C. on Thursday and participating in a fireside chat with Strike CEO Jack Mallers at a Tuesday event organized by the Bitcoin Policy Institute.

这发生了变化。在过去的一周中，Ardoino一直在美国巡回演出，周四在华盛顿特区的美国国会大厦建筑步骤中发布了自己的照片，并在比特币政策研究所组织的周二活动中与Strike CEO Jack Mallers进行了炉边聊天。

The company, which according to Ardoino is run by only 150 employees across 50 countries, settled charges with the CFTC and an NYDFS inquiry in 2021. There have been numerous reports of an ongoing Department of Justice investigation into the stablecoin issuer as well over the past few years.

根据Ardoino的说法，该公司仅由50个国家 /地区的150名员工经营，并在2021年对CFTC和NYDFS进行了调查。在过去的几年中，有许多司法部正在对Stablecoin发行人进行调查的报道。

“We’ve been through hell,” Ardoino told attendees at the conference. “People were saying that if I came to the U.S. I’d be arrested ... They will try to scare you off.”

“我们经历了地狱，” Ardoino在会议上告诉与会者。 “人们说，如果我来到美国，我会被捕……他们会试图吓you你。”

After a rundown of Tether’s previous success in the stablecoin business — the company reportedly made a $13 billion profit in 2024 and its stablecoin, USDT, holds over 60% of market share among stablecoins — Ardoino went on to present current projects that the company is working on, including its efforts in education, AI and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.

在Tether在Stablecoin业务上取得了成功之后，据报道，该公司在2024年获得了130亿美元的利润，其Stablecoin USDT在Stablecoins中占有60％以上的市场份额 - Ardoino继续进行当前的项目，该公司正在该公司正在从事教育，AI和Real-World Asset Asset（Rwaization）的努力，包括其在教育方面的努力。

“The outlook for this year is wonderful as well,” Ardoino said.

“今年的前景也很棒，”阿多利诺说。

Ardoino's U.S. journey came at a time when the U.S. legislature is moving forward to regulate the $200 billion and rapidly growing stablecoin market. Tether is dominating the asset class with its $143 billion USDT cryptocurrency, followed by U.S.-based competitor Circle with its $58 billion USDC token.

阿多利诺（Ardoino）的美国之旅是在美国立法机关前进以规范耗资2000亿美元且迅速增长的Stablecoin市场的时候。 Tether以其1,430亿美元的加密货币为主导资产类别，其次是总部位于美国的竞争对手圈子，其580亿美元USDC代币。

While Tether is an offshore company — it recently announced its intention to establish its headquarters in El Salvador — and has yet to show interest in formally entering the U.S. crypto market, its ties to the U.S. are multifaceted.

尽管Tether是一家离岸公司 - 最近宣布打算在El Salvador建立总部，并且尚未表现出对正式进入美国加密货币市场的兴趣，但其与美国的联系是多方面的。

The firm is one of the biggest buyers of U.S. debt, holding nearly $100 billion worth of U.S. Treasuries and government-backed securities as a reserve asset for its USDT token. If it were a country, it would be among the top 20 U.S. debt holders. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said during a White House digital asset summit on Friday that stablecoins are key to preserving the U.S. dollar as the dominant reserve currency in the world, a line of argument that Ardoino touted multiple occasions before.

该公司是美国债务最大的买家之一，持有价值近1000亿美元的美国国债和政府支持的证券作为其USDT代币的储备资产。如果是一个国家，它将是美国20大债务持有人之一。财政部长斯科特·贝森特（Scott Bessent）在周五的白宫数字资产峰会上说，稳定币是将美元作为世界上主要的储备货币保存的关键。

The company also gained a powerful ally in the Trump administration in Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, former CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, the Wall Street investment firm that manages Tether's U.S. Treasury holdings. The Wall Street Journal reported that Cantor is also invested in Tether's holding company, while Lutnick said during his confirmation hearing that Cantor holds Tether convertible bonds but has no equity stake.

该公司还获得了特朗普政府商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克（Howard Lutnick）的强大盟友。 《华尔街日报》报道说，康托尔还投资于特特的控股公司，而卢特尼克在确认听证会上说，坎托持有托特可转换债券，但没有股权。

Ardoino, in an interview with CoinDesk last year, said that the firm also onboarded U.S. agencies such as the FBI and Secret Service to its platform in an effort to combat illicit activities.

Ardoino在去年接受Coindesk的采访时说，该公司还加入了美国代理机构，例如FBI和特勤局的平台，以打击非法活动。

On the investment front, Tether became a major shareholder with a $775 million investment in U.S.-listed video sharing platform Rumble, popular among U.S. conservative and right-wing users. With Tether's backing, Rumble CEO Chris Pavloski laid out plans to introduce a crypto wallet and support payments with USDT, BTC and Tether's gold-backed token XAUT.

在投资方面，Tether成为主要股东，在美国保守派和右翼用户中流行的美国上市视频共享平台Rumble进行了7.75亿美元的投资。在Tether的支持下，Rumble首席执行官Chris Pavloski制定了计划，计划引入加密钱包并支持USDT，BTC和Tether的Gold Bask Bass Bass Bass Bass Bass Xaut。

Pavloski repeatedly called Ardoino while he was on stage Wednesday.

帕夫洛斯基（Pavloski）在周三上台时反复打电话给阿多利诺（Ardoino）。
