Tether, underpinning the $140 billion stablecoin USDT, is said to be prepping to launch its artificial intelligence (AI) platform, according to its CEO, Paolo Ardoino, in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter). The platform is anticipated to debut by the end of March 2025.
Tether CEO Ardoino’s Tweet
Ardoino’s post stated, “Just got the draft of the site for Tether’s AI platform. Coming soon, targeting end Q1 2025.”
Under Ardoino’s leadership, it has progressed from being solely known for the USDT stablecoin: the largest in the world.
Thus Tether diversified its investments this year up to direct energy, payment, telecom, and artificial intelligence; it began stimulating trade in commodities; and it restructured to fit its new objectives.
Last year, Tether acquired a stake in Northern Data, a company that works on AI and cloud computing. This is another proof that Tether is beginning to show interest in artificial intelligence. It did not provide much information about the revelatory AI platform, but Arduino emphasized its importance. CoinDesk quoted him as saying:
“That’s just the beginning of Tether’s journey into AI. We’re planning big investments in this space. Our goal remains the same: building technology that supports freedom, independence, and resilience.”
It truly marks the connection of crypto and AI at this point. From making all such sounds, Tether’s incursion into AI might change the nature of its role within the tech world.
