Tether, the company behind the USDT stablecoin, has announced a significant reorganization and expansion strategy aimed at transcending its flagship product. This move introduces four distinct business divisions—Data, Finance, Power, and Edu—with a focus on broadening its influence and applications in various sectors of technology and finance.

Paolo Ardoino, CEO, emphasized the strategic pivot: “Thriving together is in our DNA. We disrupted the traditional financial landscape with the world’s first and most trusted stablecoin. Now, we’re daring to kickstart inclusive infrastructure solutions, dismantling traditional systems for fairness,” highlighting the company’s vision for a future-oriented financial system.

The 4 New Divisions Of Tether

Tether Data, the Strategic Investments in Technology Division, aims to push the boundaries of digital possibilities through significant ventures and investments in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and peer-to-peer platforms. This division has already made its mark with investments in Holepunch, a platform that has pioneered advanced P2P technologies like Keet and Pear Runtime, and Northern Data Group, a leader in AI technology.

Tether Finance, serving as the Digital Asset Services Division, will continue to support and expand upon Tether’s stablecoin offerings while also developing new blockchain-based financial infrastructures. Among its upcoming projects is a digital asset tokenization platform expected to facilitate mainstream digital asset adoption.

Besides USDT, the company also manages a variety of other stablecoins, such as the Euro-denominated EURT (EURT), the offshore Chinese Yuan (CNH₮), the gold-backed Tether Gold (XAU₮), among others.

In addition, they have been actively acquiring Bitcoin over the past, purchasing 8,888 BTC for $618 million in late March 2024. Currently, the company’s total Bitcoin holdings amount to 75,354 BTC, which were acquired at an average price of $30,305 each.

Tether Power focuses on sustainable Bitcoin Mining and Energy. This division is committed to environmentally responsible Bitcoin mining practices, aiming to align with global sustainability goals while maintaining the integrity of the Bitcoin network.

Lastly, Tether Edu, the Digital Education and Advancement Transformation Division, is dedicated to enhancing global access to digital education, particularly in blockchain and peer-to-peer technologies. Edu supports various educational initiatives and public-private partnerships, including the noteworthy Plan B project in Lugano and investments in the Academy of Digital Industries.

Tether’s expansion into diverse sectors represents a paradigm shift from being primarily a stablecoin provider to a multi-faceted organization aiming at inclusivity and technological empowerment. This strategic realignment not only diversifies the company’s operational focus but also sets a precedent in the digital asset industry for companies aiming to contribute holistically to a future-proof financial ecosystem.

Dogecoin and XRP have seen varying performances over the last few weeks, going from bullish to bearish. As the market progresses into the highly anticipated Bitcoin halving event, crypto analysts have begun to give their predictions for where the market is headed for the next year in the expected bull market. This time around, it is crypto analyst Ash Crypto, who revealed his predictions for where the price of Dogecoin and XRP, among others, are headed.

Dogecoin And XRP 12-15 Months Prediction

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Ash Crypto made his one year predictions for the prices of Dogecoin and XRP going forward. The specific timeframes for these price targets were placed at the 12-15 months, which means they are expected to fully play out sometime in 2025, which is when the bull market is expected to peak.

For Dogecoin, the crypto analyst predicts a $1 price target by 2025. Now, given Dogecoin’s current price of $0.14, it means that the analyst expects a less than 1000% move for the meme coin, which, for meme coins, can be said to be quite disappointing. Additionally, it would put the market cap of the meme coin at around $150 billion, give or take, depending on how much the DOGE supply grows until then.

The next interesting prediction on the list is that of XRP. Now, XRP has disappointed investors over the last four years as it has been unable to replicate the bullish moves of other altcoins in the space. Even with Judge Analisa Torres declaring that programmatic XRP sales did not classify as a security offering, the XRP price still failed to reach $1.

However, Ash Crypto believes that the price of the meme coin will eventually cross this level, reaching as high as $5 in the bull market. More specifically, the crypt analyst puts the possible price points between $3 and $5. From its current value of $0.49, it would mean that XRP would rise around 600% to reach $3 and around 1,000% in order to reach $5.

Reaching these targets would put the market cap of XRP as between $165 billion and $275 billion going by current supply. However, with token unlocks happening every month, this market cap figure would be much higher if the price grows that high.

Ash Crypto’s Other Predictions

In addition to Dogecoin and XRP, the crypto analyst also made predictions for 11 other cryptocurrencies. Top of the list is Bitcoin, who moves are expected to lead the market. The analyst predicts that the pioneer cryptocurrency will rise between $100,000 and $250,000.

For Ethereum, Ash Crypto expects another 4x to 5x move for the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, putting it between $10,000 and $15,000. This is followed by Binance’s BNB, which the analyst expects to reach between $900 and $1,400.

Solana’s prediction is between $450 and $650, Polkadot is between $100 and $120, and Chainlink at $250 and $500. Others mentioned include Avalanche at $200-$300, Internet Computer at $120-$160, Injective at $180-$250, Celestia at $100-$150, and MANTA at $30-$70.

Popular economist and vocal opponent of Bitcoin Peter Schiff has issued a warning to the cryptocurrency community, predicting that BTC Spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) buyers will soon start bailing out as they become overwhelmed by the volatility in the market.

Bitcoin ETF Buyers Will Soon Bail Out

Being known for holding unconventional opinions, investors are drawn to Peter Schiff‘s cautious approach, which raises the possibility of market instability. According to Schiff, the price of Bitcoin is currently trading below 26 ounces of Gold, which is a 30% drop from its record high witnessed approximately 2 and half years ago.

He further noted that the long-term bear market for Bitcoin is picking up speed again, and all the new investors of BTC ETFs will be riding along for the trip. As a result, he believes that these investors will bail out shortly given the market turmoil’s growth.

The post read:

Bitcoin is trading below 26 ounces of gold. That is a 30% decline from its record-high set 2.5 years ago. Bitcoin’s long-term bear market is gathering renewed momentum, just in time to take all the new Bitcoin ETF buyers along for the ride. My guess is soon they will bail out.

Schiff’s prediction may be fueled by the recent shift in interest seen toward BTC ETFs in the past few days. Earlier this week, there was a noticeable drop in interest in the US ETF market, with several ETF issuers recording zero or no net inflows.

Farside revealed that Blackrock’s Bitcoin ETF was the only company to have attracted inflows in days. Blackrock’s IBIT saw net inflows of $73.4 million on Monday, according to Farside data. While Grayscale saw a net outflow of around $110 million, other asset companies reported net inflows of $0.

The development has since triggered a wave of speculations in the cryptocurrency market with several members claiming that Farside must have had a bug because it is too coincidental and too many fund flows cannot be zero. However, Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart weighed in on the subject noting the development is perfectly normal.

“On any given day, the vast majority of ETFs will have a flow number of zero, this is very normal,” he stated. Seyffart further pointed out that on Monday, 2,903 of the 3,500 ETFs in the US had a flow of exactly zero.

Creation Of ETF Shares

Seyffart clarified that creation units are used to generate or destroy shares and this only occurs when the supply and demand are out of balance. Specifically, these creation units are where ETF shares are developed and redeemed, and the size of each ETF’s creation unit may vary.

Blocks of shares, ranging in size from 5,000 to 50,000, comprise the BTC ETFs. Thus, there needs to be a significant mismatch that is bigger than a creation unit to warrant tapping the underlying market.

As the crypto sector struggles with fluctuating sentiment, Schiff’s insights highlight the difficulties associated with investing in digital assets. It also serves as a sobering reminder for market players to be cautious given the evolving cryptocurrency landscape.

Prominent Bitcoin advocate and co-founder at CMCC Crest, Willy Woo, has sparked a spirited discussion surrounding the future of Bitcoin and its potential impact on younger generations.

In a recent Twitter exchange with Jesse Colombo, Director of Marketing at BullionStar, Woo disputed the characterization of Bitcoin as a risk asset and instead painted it as a beacon of hope and empowerment for the youth.

This debate comes at a time when Bitcoin’s status as a crisis hedge is being challenged due to a recent drop in its price while gold and silver experienced gains.

Bitcoin is down nearly 4% today while gold and silver are up nicely today.

That’s further confirmation that Bitcoin is a risk asset (like high-flying, speculative tech stocks) rather than a crisis hedge, which is why it doesn’t interest me.$BTC $GLD pic.twitter.com/MPqncxs6MC

Challenging Conventional Notions: Bitcoin’s Potential For Empowering The Youth

Woo’s response to Colombo’s criticism stands as a testament to his unwavering optimism about Bitcoin’s future. He argues that traditional “risk-off” assets primarily benefit older generations and nation-states, while Bitcoin offers a transformative force that can empower the younger generation.

Drawing parallels to the early days of the internet, Woo sees Bitcoin as a symbol of optimism and a catalyst for exponential growth, challenging conventional notions of wealth accumulation and investment.

Bullish Projections: Willy Woo’s Optimistic Stance On Bitcoin

Amid the ongoing discussion, Woo’s bullish projections received a significant boost with the recent approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs in Hong Kong. His rough estimations result in remarkable projections, with a predicted price of $91,000 during bear market bottoms and an astonishing $650,000 at the peaks of bull markets.

These projections are based on the expected influx of capital from ETF investors, as anticipated by asset managers. Woo’s vision suggests that Bitcoin’s market capitalization could soar to new heights, potentially surpassing that of gold.

Woo compares the rise of Bitcoin to the massive gold bull run that followed the ETF’s adoption. He sees Bitcoin as a harbinger of change in traditional wealth protection and investment strategies, with institutional investors increasingly embracing cryptocurrencies and integrating them into the mainstream financial landscape.

As institutional interest in cryptocurrencies continues to grow, Bitcoin stands poised to usher in a new era of financial prosperity, particularly for younger generations seeking alternative paths to economic empowerment in an ever-changing landscape.

Средняя комиссия в сети биткоина выросла до отметки $19,4, говорят цифры BitInfoChart. Причина: в конце апреля должен состояться релиз платформы Runes, которую создатели позиционируют как более простую альтернативу протоколу Ordinals.

Комиссия по ценным бумагам и биржам Таиланда (SEC) ужесточила правила проведения первичного размещения токенов (ICO), объясняя изменение норм защититой интересов держателей криптоактивов.

Аналитики компании Santiment, изучающей поведение криптоинвесторов в социальных сетях, рассказали, что аудитория трейдеров поддерживает пессимистический сценарий, ожидая дальнейшего падения стоимости биткоина.

Налоговая служба Швеции расследовала деятельность двадцати одной компании, занимавшейся майнингом биткоина в период с 2020 по 2023 годы. Ведомство считает, что компании предоставили искаженную информацию.

Как сообщает издание Bloomberg, криптовалютная биржа Binance получила лицензию поставщика услуг виртуальных активов (VASP) в Дубае, благодаря которой сможет предоставлять услуги местным розничным трейдерам.

Генеральный директор компании Coinify Рикке Стаер считает, что сокращение вознаграждения майнерам вдвое сделает нерентабельной работу части устройств по добыче биткоина.
