The investment companies focused on the SoftBank and Ark Invest technology are among companies in initial stage conversations to invest in Tether, the USDT Stablcoin (USDT) emitter (USDT) in the world, Bloomberg reported Friday.
The report follows this week’s news about Tether that seeks to raise up to $ 20 billion in a fund collection round that would value the company in around $ 500 billion, which would make it one of the most valuable private companies in the world.
The collection of funds and the brave assessment underline the trend of Stablecoin al Rojo Vivo, a rapidly growing cryptographic sector with the potential to interrupt global payment flows. Stablecoins is a class of cryptocurrencies with prices linked to fiduciary money such as the US dollar, and could offer a cheaper and cheaper alternative for cross -border transactions using blockchain rails, the proponents say. The sector has grown 40% in the year to the date of $ 287 billion, the data RWA.XYZ show, and the Analysts of Global Bank Citi Project Stablocoins will reach $ 4 billion in market value in their scenario of the upward market.
The USDT of Tether is the market leader with a market capitalization of $ 173 billion, predominantly supported by the United States Treasury that has provided an unexpected gain of gains of bond yields in recent years. The company reported $ 4.9 billion in profits in the second quarter of this year.
Circle (CRCL), issuer of the second largest USDC of more than $ 70 billion, was made public this June and saw that the price of its shares shot at $ 300 from around $ 30, underlining the appetite of investors to obtain exposure to the issue of Stablecoin.
Tether, who has focused on serving emerging markets with limited access in US dollars, announced earlier this month, intended to formally enter the US market with a dollar token called USAT, designed to comply with the requirements of the Genius Law, the first federal law of crypto of the nation that establishes Stablecoins rules. He also hunted Bo Hines, former director of the White House Crypt Council, advising President Donald Trump about cryptographic policies, to lead his US division.
