Tether: To date, it has invested $1.5 billion to expand commodity trade financing and explore a new model of stablecoins + physical assets.

Odaily reports that Tether Holdings SA has announced it has deployed approximately $1.5 billion in credit facilities in the commodity trade finance sector and plans to "significantly expand" this business.

The company stated that it will leverage its nearly $200 billion asset reserves to provide loans in the form of US dollars and its stablecoin USDT, covering commodity trading such as oil, cotton, and wheat. This move is seen as Tether's strategic transformation from a single stablecoin issuer to a comprehensive "digital asset + trade finance" platform, which may further promote the integration of stablecoins with traditional physical assets.
