An epic day for the digital asset economy. What we’re building as a Stable Company is becoming reality: transparency, trust, and institutional-grade standards.

@amasad we're excited to be onboard

We’ve raised $400M at a $9B valuation. Investors include Georgian, G Squared, Prysm, 1789, YC, Coatue, a16z, Craft, and QIA, with strategic investments from Accenture, Databricks, Okta, and Tether. We’re also lucky to have incredible individuals backing us, including Shaq and Jared Leto. This funding will help us scale our ambition and expand beyond coding into AI systems that center human creativity. Replit is now used at 85% of the Fortune 500. We have an opportunity to help shape the future of work. One where AI abstracts away the boring parts and humans shine as creative directors. We’re also investing more globally, particularly in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Innovation can come from anywhere in the world, and we want to help unlock it.

Tether’s launch of USA₮ is a historic step forward for the digital asset ecosystem in the U.S. @Official_Cantor began working with Tether because we recognized early the power of stablecoins to reshape global payments. Over the years Cantor has been proud to serve as a custodian, advisor, investment banker, and friend to @paoloardoino and the entire @tether team, including on industry-leading projects like @twentyone. In that time, stablecoins have successfully enabled hundreds of millions of people around the world to manage savings, make everyday purchases, and move money instantly across borders. With more than $180B in issued tokens, Tether is the mainstay of the global digital dollar, and if it were a country, Tether would be one of the largest holders of U.S. Treasuries. @usat is the next chapter: a GENIUS compliant, U.S. first stablecoin designed to bring the most proven digital dollar platform into the world’s most important financial market. At a time when global trade and remittances are increasing exponentially, the U.S. is the largest source of remittance flows globally. Today those flows are slow, expensive, and fragmented. The launch of USA₮ introduces a modern payment rail that enables faster settlement, lower costs, and global reach. Congratulations to Paolo, @benhabbel and the entire Tether organization for today’s launch. @BoHines and the USA₮ leadership for executing a U.S. first vision with conviction working in tandem with @nathanmccauley and @Anchorage. And the Cantor team for being deeply involved from the start and helping build the bridge for traditional finance and digital assets. USA₮ has been a long time coming. The leading crypto company entering the best market in the world, with real rails, real adoption, and real impact.

The American digital dollar has landed. 🇺🇸 We are excited to announce that $USAT is now live and trading on @Cryptocom_Exch @cryptocom Fully compliant. Built for the US economy.

While Gold crushed through the $5000 mark, @tether ranks among the top 30 global gold holders, surpassing countries such as Greece, Qatar, and Australia. #xaut #gold #tethergold

Huge congratulations to @twentyone $XXI on their NYSE debut today! 🛎️🇺🇲 Proud to back a team that is relentlessly focused on Bitcoin adoption and financial sovereignty. Unstoppable. 🚀🧡 #Bitcoin #XXI #Tether

@tether already delivered financial inclusion for 500+ million people around the world and won't stop until every human, robot and agent has access to USDT & USAT @paoloardoino @BoHines

Insane UX boost

🇦🇷💪

Excited to be a part of this journey

During an interview a guy asked me: "As an entrepreneur my mission is bringing my startup from 0 to 1 (cit. Peter Thiel book). Tether is not a startup anymore. At which stage, from 0 to 100, is Tether?" I replied "I feel we're still at 0.25. Our potential growth from here is limitless. So much more to disrupt through innovation. So much more to build. Once people understand the real masterplan behind every single calculated action we take daily, they realize the true unprecedented potential of this Company. That's way I often define Tether a "once in a Century Company"."

Has anyone spent time in Ericeira, Portugal? Should I just blindly move there, buy a 1999 Chris Moltisanti spec Range Rover & a black Pomeranian then get heavily into gardening? Thoughts appreciated

@lufthansa @Lufthansa_DE only to get connected to a silent phone line. not enough staff to answer phones, and bad technology that doesn't properly connects. what is going on?

@lufthansa @Lufthansa_DE insane that you have wait times of 15minutes+ on the senator hotline. impossible to reach for urgent issues.

To understand why Putin has NO succession, just watch how terrified everyone is around him. There is no structure, nothing other than HIM. This is not a problem with Russia. This is mostly a problem with one person. Not even a faction. One person. God bless Russia & the Ukraine.

Building a startup is really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really hard
