The Biden administration’s negative stance towards cryptocurrencies has hindered the country’s potential in this sector. In contrast, Trump has claimed he would make the nation a crypto capital, although specific actions remain unclear. We may witness a delay in the anticipated rise supported by Trump until early February when his administration’s candidates are approved.
Breaking News on Tether
Tether (USDT), the largest stablecoin by market capitalization, holds a significant position in the crypto market, ranking fourth among all cryptocurrencies by market value. Recently, Tether announced its decision to relocate its headquarters to El Salvador. This surprising news comes at a time when the IMF is pressuring El Salvador to reduce its Bitcoin $96,149 engagements.
The official announcement stated:
“Tether and its affiliates are completing all formalities to move to El Salvador following the successful acquisition of a Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) license. This marks a step in Tether’s journey to promote global Bitcoin adoption as a stablecoin issuer. This strengthens Tether’s position in one of the world’s most forward-thinking markets and fosters the development and implementation of innovative solutions in a dynamic environment.”
The company’s CEO mentioned that El Salvador’s belief in Bitcoin and its support for cryptocurrencies have been motivating factors for this move.
