Paolo Ardoino criticizes EU rules that could force stablecoin issuers to rely on fragile banks and warned about potential bank failures in the future.
The leading stablecoin issuer is comfortable holding its T-bills at a U.S. institution because it respects international sanctions, CEO Ardoino said in an interview.
Ardoino says there’s more of a need for stablecoins outside the U.S., especially in countries with rampant inflation and shoddy financial infrastructure.
Tether hired a government-affairs veteran from PayPal and Chainalysis, Jesse Spiro, to head its own shop as the issuer of the leading {{USDT}} stablecoin has long been under a cloud of reported U.S. investigations.
The company said its $97 billion exposure to U.S. Treasuries would put it 18th in the ranking among countries.
Paolo Ardoino appointed new CEO at Tether.
