As the issuer of stablecoin USDT, Tether stands among the largest digital asset firms globally, providing substantial industry expertise to the initiative.
The organizations are also considering joint participation in educational forums, hackathons, and related events. These initiatives are intended to drive innovation and increase the visibility of blockchain-based products and services throughout the region’s business landscape.
