A New Era for Trade Financing in Digital Assets
Paolo Ardoino
, Chief Executive Officer, said:
“With USDT, we’re bringing efficiency and speed to markets that have historically relied on slower, more costly payment structures.”
The incorporation of USDT into trade finance reduces costs and shortens the time taken for payment, improving asset-backed financing. Now that
Tether
is actively involved in trade finance, it is willing to expand into other areas such as agriculture, technology, and asset-backed securities.
