CEO Paolo Ardoino says Tether may launch a new stablecoin instead of adapting USDT to U.S. regulations.
This new stablecoin would be built from the ground up to be “compliant by design.”
Tether Shifts: USDT for Emerging Markets, New Coin for U.S.
That’s a major shift for the crypto giant. USDT has long dominated global crypto trading, especially in emerging markets. But in the U.S., regulators are tightening the screws. Rather than trying to retrofit USDT to play by those rules, Tether is thinking about starting with a clean slate. “The idea isn’t to take USDT and force it to fit,” Ardoino explained. “It’s about building something new that meets U.S. standards from day one.”
Tether sees the writing on the wall. USDT, while still king in places like Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia, isn’t expected to make big waves in the U.S. or Europe going forward. Ardoino made it clear: USDT will keep doing what it does best—serving countries with shaky banking systems and limited access to the dollar.
The SEC just hit Tether’s hopes of remaining available in the US.
The SEC announced guidelines of when a stablecoin is not a security. This is critical as a security is regulated by the SEC and must be registered via a prospectus to be legally offered in the US.

Meanwhile, the new U.S.-focused stablecoin could be tailor-made for a market that demands transparency, strong oversight, and full regulatory compliance. While details are still under wraps, the goal is clear: win over regulators and build trust with U.S. institutions and users.
More About USDT
Last year, Tether reported a staggering $20 billion in profits, and its future looks even brighter with the arrival of a pro-crypto U.S. president, who appointed a key Tether ally as his commerce secretary. There’s no denying Tether’s success, but the company has faced its share of controversy.

USDT’s use by South Asian criminal gangs led Tether and its executives to become the focal point of criticism in a recent anti-crypto book by a Bloomberg journalist. However, CEO Paolo Ardoino argues that these concerns are outdated, highlighting Tether’s close collaboration with U.S. law enforcement to ensure compliance and transparency.
