Tether's USDT is the most popular stablecoin, now boasting an $84 billion market capitalization. The company also issues a number of other digital currencies pegged to fiat currencies and gold.

Higher interest rates have made the business quite profitable, with the Tether saying quarterly returns on its holdings are once again close to $1 billion.

The firm recently announced the promotion of Paolo Ardoino as CEO. He has promised to work towards introducing real-time data about reserves in the coming years.
