Tether has funneled over $5 billion of its revenue back into the US economy: CEO

Tether, the USDT stablecoin issuer, has invested around $5 billion of its profits in US-based companies in the last two years, according to company CEO, Paolo Ardoino. The executive disclosed this on X to highlight how the firm is invested in the American economy. According to Ardoino , his firm has invested in some US-based companies, including the video-sharing platform Rumble and the startup Blackrock Neurotech. Tether invested $775 million in Rumble earlier this year, getting over 103 million of the company’s Class A Common Stock. The firm also invested $200 million in BlackRock Neurotech, a brain-to-interface company, in 2024 through its venture division, Tether Evo. The investment made it a majority shareholder. Meanwhile, Ardoino added that Tether has a stake in several Bitcoin mining firms in the US. It recently increased its stake in Bitdeer to 21% to become one of the major shareholders and is allocating the hash rate to the OCEAN mining pool. Beyond the investments in various US-based companies, Tether CEO added that the company also has over $120 billion exposure to US Treasuries, showing how deeply embedded it is in the US economy. With its stake in US Treasuries, which constitute most USDT reserves, Tether is the 19th-largest holder of US debt. It holds more US Treasury bills than several countries, including Germany and the United Arab Emirates, which have $111.4 billion and $104.4 billion, respectively. Tether positions itself as pro-US amid stablecoin regulation efforts Meanwhile, Ardoino’s post is similar to his recent statements, highlighting how Tether is good for America’s interests. With the US working on stablecoin regulations, there are concerns that foreign issuers such as Tether could face more regulatory scrutiny that could impede their growth. A few months ago, Ardoino alleged that competitors have been lobbying politicians to kill Tether. Although he did not name competitors, he noted that they are using lawfare instead of building better products to compete. However, he insisted that the company was working in the interest of the US. The CEO, who has been vocal in promoting Tether’s strengths, noted that the firm is crucial to spreading the hegemony of the US dollar with its USDT stablecoin, especially in developing economies. With over 400 million users and billions in profits, many agree that the company, which recently moved its headquarters to El Salvador, is pro-American. This includes crypto entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano, who praised Ardoino for his role. Pompliano wrote: “Tether has quickly become one of the most important pro-America companies in the world. Thank you for everything that you and the team have done.” Nevertheless, the company continues to face regulatory headwinds and concerns around transparency. There have also been criticisms about the use of USDT by criminals, although the firm claims it collaborates with law enforcement authorities to freeze illicit funds converted to USDT. Tether plans a new stablecoin to gain entry into the US Despite the criticisms against the company, Tether continues to dominate the stablecoin market with over $153 billion in circulating supply for USDT, enough to give it almost 62% dominance. The dominance of USDT is due to its widespread adoption in emerging economies. However, USDT does not have the same level of adoption in developed economies such as the US and Europe. Several exchanges in Europe recently delisted the stablecoin due to non-compliance with the Market in Crypto Assets ( MiCA ) regulation. The firm claimed it decided against getting the MiCA license to protect USDT users. Nevertheless, Tether plans to issue a separate dollar-backed stablecoin for the US market and has praised the proposed US stablecoin regulations as being more practical than MiCA rules. There is no information yet on when the new stablecoin will launch, but it will likely happen after the US stablecoin legislation has been passed. Ardoino stated that USDT would remain in use with a focus on emerging economies. Cryptopolitan Academy: Want to grow your money in 2025? Learn how to do it with DeFi in our upcoming webclass.

Is XRP Centralized? Ripple CTO Explains the Truth Behind the Controversy

The post Is XRP Centralized? Ripple CTO Explains the Truth Behind the Controversy appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Recently, the crypto community has been buzzing about whether XRP is centralized, especially after MMA star Conor McGregor tweeted about the US government potentially investing in XRP, SOL, and ADA. This sparked fresh debates: Is XRP truly decentralized like Bitcoin, or is it controlled by Ripple and its leaders? Unlike Bitcoin – which has no known leader since Satoshi Nakamoto disappeared – Ripple’s well-known CEO Brad Garlinghouse often draws suspicion. Does having public faces mean XRP is centralized? Ripple’s CTO, David Schwartz, stepped up to explain how XRP’s decentralization really works and why many assumptions miss the mark. Schwartz Explains XRP’s Design: No Issuer, No Control Schwartz quickly tackled the key question: XRP has no issuer. The entire supply of XRP was created at the launch of the XRP Ledger (XRPL), and no new XRP tokens have been issued since then. Most cryptocurrencies rely on mining or gradual token releases, but XRP was designed differently. Its full supply was available from day one, allowing anyone to claim XRP without competition or mining. This means Ripple doesn’t control how XRP is distributed. “The XRP Ledger has no mechanism for creating new XRP,” Schwartz stated , firmly dispelling notions of Ripple’s control over the asset. What Does Decentralization Really Mean? Schwartz encourages the crypto community to move beyond debating labels like “centralized” or “decentralized.” Instead, he suggests focusing on the purpose of decentralization: preventing censorship, avoiding control by a single party, and ensuring the network’s integrity. By shifting the conversation to these practical goals, it becomes easier to judge whether XRP’s system can be controlled or compromised. When viewed this way, XRP’s decentralization is more complex, and arguably stronger, than many think. Ripple’s Leadership vs. XRP Control: What’s the Difference? A major source of confusion comes from Ripple’s public leadership. CEO Brad Garlinghouse and other executives are often seen as the faces of XRP in industry and regulatory talks. But Schwartz makes it clear: just because Ripple has visible leaders doesn’t mean it controls XRP. The XRP Ledger operates independently of Ripple’s business. Having a well-known company behind the technology does not translate to centralized control over XRP or the network. Understanding XRP’s Decentralization Today David Schwartz’s explanation reaffirms XRP’s status as a decentralized asset – even if it doesn’t look like Bitcoin’s leaderless model. He reminds us that decentralization isn’t just about having no CEOs or issuing new tokens. It’s about whether the network can protect users from censorship and control. As debates continue in the crypto space, Schwartz’s view challenges us to focus on what truly matters: whether a blockchain is secure, fair, and resistant to central points of failure. In this light, XRP’s decentralization is clearer than ever.

Pakistan Appoints Special Assistant for Blockchain and Crypto in PM’s Cabinet

The post Pakistan Appoints Special Assistant for Blockchain and Crypto in PM’s Cabinet appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News The Pakistani government has appointed a special assistant to the prime minister on blockchain and cryptocurrency, a local news outlet reported on Monday. Bilal Bin Saqib to Lead Pakistan’s Crypto Push Bilal Bun Saqib has been given the new role. He is the chief advisor to the finance minister and the CEO of the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC). A London School of Economics grad, he also made it to Forbes’ 30 Under 30 and earned an MBE from King Charles III for his social impact work. PAKISTAN TAPS NEW BLOCKCHAIN AND CRYPTO CHIEF Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has added another member to his cabinet, naming a special assistant on blockchain and cryptocurrency. This comes as Pakistan prepares to use 2 thousand megawatts of electricity to power… pic.twitter.com/0cbA24O5jx — Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) May 26, 2025 Saqib will be responsible for drafting crypto rules that follow FATF standards, leading government Bitcoin mining, and bringing blockchain to areas like land records and finance. He’s been given the rank of a minister of state but will work without a salary or any official perks. Pakistan Backs Crypto This move follows a series of government initiatives in Pakistan’s digital space. Recently, the government endorsed the creation of the Pakistan Digital Assets Authority (PDAA), which will oversee crypto exchanges, wallets, stablecoins, DeFi apps, and more. It was also announced that it will dedicate 2,000 megawatts of extra electricity to bitcoin mining, to support both mining and AI data centers. This initiative is led by the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) to boost revenue, create tech jobs, and attract foreign investment. Former Binance CEO, Changpeng Zhao, joined the Council as an advisor in April, after he served a four-month U.S. prison sentence for breaking anti-money laundering laws. Pakistan’s Growing Ties With WLF Pakistan’s growing involvement with cryptocurrency has also raised concerns. One reason why Pakistan may be pushing crypto is due to the dip in its foreign investment, which has dropped 45% in February. In January, Pakistan had also hired a U.S. lobbyist in January to set up meetings in Washington. During a visit, the interior minister even asked for more U.S. investment, according to The Wall Street Journal. Shortly after that, the country started building ties with the Trump-linked crypto project World Liberty Financial. In April, Bin Saqib joined as an advisor following a visit by co-founder Zach Witkoff, who signed an agreement with Pakistan’s ministry to explore using World Liberty’s stablecoin for trade and remittances. The WSJ report claimed that Zhao was helping with World Liberty’s foreign connections, but Zhao denied, calling it “ another hit piece .” The PCC has signed a series of deals with WLF to boost crypto investment and innovation.

FTX’s Sam Bankman-Fried May Shave 4 years Off His Prison Sentence for Good Behaviour

An imprisoned crypto fraudster, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) , may shave 4 years off his 25-year prison sentence for good behaviour. The American prison system has a process for reducing a sentence if an inmate displays good behaviour. A jury convicted SBF of 7 counts of fraud and conspiracy related to the collapse of crypto exchange FTX. Prosecutors successfully argued that SBF and his colleagues funneled customers’ funds from the FTX exchange to Alameda Research, a hedge fund owned by SBF. However, the convicted fraudster may be able to spend considerably less time behind bars if he continues to display good behaviour. The funneling scheme, which was responsible for his conviction, was worth $11 billion of customers’ funds. When searched on their website, the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) reveals a reduced sentence for SBF. The database was most likely updated to reflect SBF’s good behaviour. American prisoners can receive up to 54 days a year in credit for good behaviour. These credits can reduce the prison sentence for inmates serving over 1 year. It seems that the prison may have given SBF the maximum amount of reward points. This comes not long after SBF was reprimanded for breaking prison rules by participating in a Tucker Carlson interview. In November 2023, a jury convicted SBF of 7 counts of fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering for using customers’ funds to build his hedge fund company. The court found that SBF used $11 billion of customers’ funds to make money on his hedge fund. In March 2024, the court sentenced SBF to 25 years in prison and ordered him to forfeit $11 billion in funds. The courts also sentenced SBF’s colleague, Caroline Ellison, but gave her a lighter sentence for cooperating with authorities. On March 6, Tucker Carlson interviewed SBF at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn, New York. This unsanctioned interview probably convinced authorities to move SBF to the FCI Terminal Island prison in San Pedro, California. When held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre, SBF was a roommate with Sean Diddy Combs. Tucker Carlson interviewed SBF in this prison. However, SBF did not appear apologetic for misappropriating customers’ funds; instead, he spent considerable time aligning himself with the Trump campaign, most likely lobbying for a presidential pardon. SBF was then transported to a new prison in California, which holds 850 low-security male prisoners. SBF was most likely moved because he broke prison rules by participating in the Tucker Carlson interview. Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried, SBF’s parents, have been lobbying hard to get a pardon for their son. They have been talking with various lawyers and Trump officials to secure a presidential pardon. Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried believe they can help their son receive a presidential pardon if they contact the right people connected to the Trump campaign. They have contacted a lawyer named Kory Langhofer to help push their demands to people associated with Trump’s inner circle. Langhofer was a lawyer who worked for Trump’s campaign 2016 and 2020. Langhofer believes that SBF was unfairly tried and should receive a presidential pardon.

CFTC: The CFTC is collaborating with the SEC and Congress to clarify jurisdiction, especially over digital commodities and derivatives. FinCEN: AML and CFT requirements remain central, with crypto companies classified as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act, subject to strict compliance. FDIC/OCC: The FDIC has eased restrictions on banks’ crypto activities, while the OCC supports banks’ ability to custody digital assets US Crypto Tax 2025 Cryptocurrency in the US is taxed based on how long you hold the asset and your total taxable income. Short-term gains (assets held for one year or less) are taxed at ordinary income rates, while long-term gains (assets held for more than a year) are taxed at lower capital gains rates. Additionally, income from mining, staking, or receiving crypto as payment is taxed as ordinary income. Short-Term Crypto Tax Rates (Held ≤ 1 Year) Tax Rate Single Married Filing Jointly Married Filing Separately Head of Household 10% $0–$11,600 $0–$23,200 $0–$11,600 $0–$16,550 12% $11,601–$47,150 $23,201–$94,300 $11,601–$47,150 $16,551–$63,100 22% $47,151–$100,525 $94,301–$201,050 $47,151–$100,525 $63,101–$100,500 24% $100,526–$191,950 $201,051–$383,900 $100,526–$191,950 $100,501–$191,950 32% $191,951–$243,725 $383,901–$487,450 $191,951–$243,725 $191,951–$243,700 37% Over $609,351 Over $731,201 Over $365,601 Over $609,351 Long-Term Crypto Tax Rates (Held > 1 Year) Tax Rate Single Married Filing Jointly Married Filing Separately Head of Household 0% Up to $47,025 Up to $94,050 Up to $47,025 Up to $63,000 15% $47,026–$518,900 $94,051–$583,750 $47,026–$291,850 $63,001–$551,350 20% Over $518,900 Over $583,750 Over $291,850 Over $551,350 Additional Crypto Tax Rules Income from mining, staking, or payment: Taxed as ordinary income at the above rates. NFTs: Some may be taxed at a higher collectibles rate (up to 28%). Non-taxable events: Transfers between your own wallets and certain gifts are not taxable. Crypto companies: Subject to standard corporate income tax and must comply with reporting and AML/CFT rules. Example If you are single, earn $50,000 in total taxable income, and realize $5,000 short-term crypto gains and $10,000 long-term crypto gains: Short-term gains taxed at 22%: $1,100 Long-term gains taxed at 15%: $1,500 Total crypto tax owed: $2,600 These rates and rules ensure all crypto investors and companies are taxed in line with other property and investment assets in the US Crypto Adoption Rate In America In 2025, about 28% of American adults—around 65 million people—own cryptocurrency. Crypto ownership in the US has nearly doubled since 2021, rising from 15% to 28%. 14% of non-owners plan to buy crypto in 2025, and 67% of current owners plan to buy more this year. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin are the top three cryptocurrencies Americans plan to purchase in 2025. Crypto mining in the USA In 2025, the US leads the world in Bitcoin mining , accounting for over one-third of global mining power. On March 20, 2025, the SEC clarified that proof-of-work crypto mining is not subject to federal securities laws, removing registration requirements for miners. There is no federal ban on crypto mining; regulation is handled at the state level, with some states offering incentives and others imposing environmental restrictions. The Trump administration’s deregulatory approach in 2025 has encouraged domestic mining growth, but all miners must still comply with federal AML and CFT rules. Environmental concerns and energy usage debates continue, especially in states considering stricter oversight or moratoriums on mining operations. US Government’s Crypto Holdings As of April 2025, the US government holds approximately 198,012 Bitcoins, valued at about $18.3 billion. The US is the world’s largest state holder of Bitcoin, with these assets primarily acquired through law enforcement seizures and forfeitures. In March 2025, President Trump established the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a broader Digital Asset Stockpile, consolidating all federally held Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies (including Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and XRP) as permanent reserve assets. Conclusion US crypto regulation in 2025 marks a major turning point. The old approach of punishing innovation is being replaced with clear rules, legal support, and a national strategy for digital assets. While financial crimes are still a concern, the overall direction is bold, business-friendly, and built for long-term crypto adoption. .article_register_shortcode { padding: 18px 24px; border-radius: 8px; display: flex; align-items: center; margin: 6px 0 22px; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; background: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1) 0%, rgba(0, 82, 204, 0.1) 100%); } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { color: #000000; font-weight: 600; font-size: 20px; line-height: 22px; text-align:left; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 span { color: #0052CC; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; color: #171717B2; margin-top: 4px; text-align:left; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body{ padding-right: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: right; } .article_register_shortcode .primary-button img{ vertical-align: middle; width: 20px; margin: 0; display: inline-block; } @media (min-width: 581px) and (max-width: 991px) { .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { margin-bottom: 0; } } @media (max-width: 580px) { .article_register_shortcode { display: block; padding: 20px; } .article_register_shortcode img { max-width: 50px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { font-size: 16px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body { margin-left: 0px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: unset; } .article_register_shortcode .secondary-button { margin-bottom: 0; } } Never Miss a Beat in the Crypto World!

Whale Accumulation Report: Cardano News Reveals Major Investors Pivoting to Bitcoin Solaris for 10X Returns

The post Whale Accumulation Report: Cardano News Reveals Major Investors Pivoting to Bitcoin Solaris for 10X Returns appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Recent Cardano network data shows increased on-chain consolidation among large ADA holders. While this may indicate confidence in long-term fundamentals, it also reflects a broader pattern: capital is rotating from mature assets into earlier-stage opportunities with greater return potential. With ADA’s growth trajectory tapering and staking yields flat, many institutional wallets are reallocating exposure toward projects with fixed supply, real user participation, and defined token scarcity. According to analyst reports, Bitcoin Solaris is emerging as one of the top destinations for that capital. The project’s architecture, mobile-first distribution model, and decentralized reward system are drawing both retail and whale-tier interest for the same reason: it mirrors the early economic blueprint that made Bitcoin and Ethereum wealth engines. Smartphones Become Crypto Mining Infrastructure At the core of Bitcoin Solaris is the Nova App, a mobile mining interface that turns any modern smartphone into a yield-generating asset. Users allocate 1–5 GB of storage and idle CPU to the app, which runs passively while the device charges. Mining rewards are distributed daily in BTC-S based on uptime. This direct protocol-level access stands in sharp contrast to Cardano, where delegation mechanics still favor large pools and require ecosystem fluency. Bitcoin Solaris removes these technical and financial barriers, giving early adopters consistent rewards for real network contribution. Designed for Decentralized Throughput at Global Scale Bitcoin Solaris achieves scalability through a dual-layer blockchain. The Base Layer secures the ledger using Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and Proof-of-Capacity (PoC), while the Solaris Layer executes smart contracts and mobile mining via Proof-of-History (PoH) and Proof-of-Time (PoT). This enables the network to process 10,000+ transactions per second with 2-second finality — a throughput that outpaces Cardano’s current benchmarks. This design supports real-time reward issuance across tens of thousands of nodes while keeping energy use minimal. For whales entering at scale, the network can support high-volume participation without bottlenecks or centralization risks. Security Audits Back Investor Confidence Bitcoin Solaris has completed comprehensive security and compliance checks. The Cyberscope audit validated smart contract logic and token mechanics. The Freshcoins audit tested mobile mining performance and scalability. The team also passed KYC verification , confirming transparent governance and traceability. This audit trail ensures that BTC-S enters the market as a verified asset, not a speculative token launch. Early Access Window Closes as Network Activation Nears Bitcoin Solaris is currently in Phase 5 of its presale, with BTC-S priced at 5 USDT. Of the fixed 21 million BTC-S supply, 4.2 million (20%) are allocated to the full presale. There will be no inflation or new token creation post-launch. Participants in the presale also secure early Nova App mining access before broader user growth drives up difficulty. As history has shown with Bitcoin and Ethereum, network positioning ahead of public saturation is often the defining factor in long-term returns. In a recent market briefing, Crypto Volt explained why large Cardano holders are shifting toward Bitcoin Solaris. His analysis focuses on token scarcity, mining-first distribution, and why early protocol access through smartphones is becoming the new strategy for crypto-native wealth growth. Cardano remains a leading Layer 1 — but for investors seeking transformative upside, its phase of exponential gains appears to have passed. Bitcoin Solaris presents a structurally different opportunity, one defined by scarcity, real-time rewards, and early-phase access. Now in Presale phase 5 at 5 USDT, BTC-S is drawing both institutional and retail attention as a credible next-generation wealth builder — before the door closes.
