Tether’s CTO, Paolo Ardoino, reveals that the company bought more US Treasury bills than the United Arab Emirates, Australia, Japan, and Mexico.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Ardoino highlights that Tether’s current hold in the US Treasury bills is $72.5 billion.
In his tweet, the chief technology officer highlights the relevance of USDT in emerging markets since the stablecoin can provide communities with a “lifeline to protect themselves” against the rampant inflation in their national currencies.
The stablecoins have proven to hold significant weight in the market, with $125 billion in circulation in early September and large institutions like PayPal releasing their own stablecoins.
Therefore, Paolo Ardoino’s post about holding T-bills acts as a level of reassurance to the community since T-bills are short-term debt obligations backed by the US government and represent an equivalent asset to the stablecoin they represent.
