Stablecoin issuer Tether is partnering with Fuze to provide crypto education to individuals and financial institutions in Turkey and the Middle East.

Tether, known for the largest stablecoin by market value, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Fuze, a crypto infrastructure provider. The goal is to enhance awareness and understanding of digital assets through educational initiatives in Turkey and the Middle East.

According to a press release on Apr. 15, the partnership will focus on various aspects of crypto education, including cross-border payment solutions, regulatory compliance, framework development, and financial institution training.

Joint educational campaigns will promote the adoption of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, blockchain technology, and stablecoins such as USDT for cross-border transactions. These efforts are aimed at businesses and individuals across Turkey, the Middle East, and North Africa.

“Our collaboration isn’t just about technology; it’s about empowering individuals, businesses, and financial institutions to navigate the evolving landscape of finance with confidence and clarity.” – Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino

While Tether recommends engagement with local and regional financial institutions, specific details about the participants in the educational training program have not been disclosed. Fuze CEO Mo Ali Yusuf echoed Ardoino’s sentiments, emphasizing the program’s goal to ensure that all stakeholders benefit from the opportunities presented by secure and trusted digital assets.

This initiative marks Tether’s second educational campaign this year, following a previous MOU with Uzbekistan’s National Agency of Perspective Projects. The aim is to position the republic as a central hub for peer-to-peer and blockchain technology.

Meanwhile, Turkey is working towards exiting the Financial Action Task Force’s “grey list” by implementing more regulatory oversight on cryptocurrencies. Local crypto market representatives suggest Ankara is considering a new regulatory regime to prevent system abuse, focusing on licensing standards, capital adequacy requirements, and compliance metrics for custody services like proof of reserves. However, the timeline for these regulatory changes remains uncertain.
