Tether is open to the idea of launching a U.S.-specific stablecoin in response to the GENIUS Act being pushed forward by Congress.
While Tether is considering U.S. regulatory compliance, its focus remains on emerging markets where USDT is widely used in economies with unstable currencies.
The plans for a U.S.-specific stablecoin are still in early stages, with a potential rollout later in the year as Tether aims to align with regulations and expand globally.
This strategic shift for Tether could provide a compliant stablecoin option for institutional partners and investors dealing with legal uncertainties.
