Tether Relocates to El Salvador Amid Growing Focus on Emerging Markets
The Tether Group, the largest stablecoin issuer in the cryptocurrency space, is set to relocate its operations to El Salvador, a country that has been at the forefront of Bitcoin adoption. The move comes after the company secured regulatory licenses, including a Digital Asset Service Provider license, via its Seychelles-based affiliate, Bitfinex Derivatives.
According to Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, the decision to relocate to El Salvador is a natural progression for the company. “This decision is a natural progression,” Ardoino said in a press statement. “El Salvador represents a beacon of innovation in the digital assets space. By rooting ourselves here, we are not only aligning with a country that shares our vision in terms of financial freedom, innovation, and resilience but is also reinforcing our commitment to empowering people worldwide through decentralized technologies.”
Expansion Plans and Emerging Markets Focus
The relocation is expected to enable Tether to enhance its focus on emerging markets and expand crypto facilities for a broader investor base. Ardoino emphasized that the company’s move to El Salvador will allow it to better serve its growing customer base and tap into new markets.
Tips for investors looking to tap into emerging markets:
