Tether’s Ardoino says ‘uninformed CEO’ spreads FUD about USDT
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino says an uninformed executive behind a company being investigated by the SEC is being reported “spreading fear about USDT.”
Tether boss Paolo Ardoino said in a recent post on X that an “uninformed CEO” is allegedly spreading a FUD about the firm’s stablecoin, USDT, in a bid to shake the company’s dominance in the stablecoin market.
In an X post on May 13, Ardoino did not reveal the identity of the rumormonger, but noted that the individual is leading a company that is “being investigated by the SEC,” adding that the same firm is launching a “competitive stablecoin,” without elaborating on the matter. The identity of the individual to whom Ardoino is referring remains unclear.
In the post, Ardoino addressed concerns regarding the safety of the USDT ecosystem, emphasizing Tether’s commitment “to ensure that our entire community can benefit from a safe global financial ecosystem.”
In an effort to counter what Ardoino perceives as a biased narrative propagated by mainstream news outlets, he disclosed key statistics and initiatives related to Tether’s global compliance efforts. Particularly, the Tether CEO highlighted the firm’s commitment to adhere to the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions list, collaborations with law enforcement agencies worldwide, and utilization of monitoring tools provided by Chainalysis, a blockchain forensics firm.
