He emphasized the company's position by writing:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Tether is not planning to build an official blockchain at this time.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Tether, the issuer of <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/tether\/\">USDT<\/a>\u2014the world's largest stablecoin with a market cap of over $120 billion\u2014operates across over ten blockchain networks. These include <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/ethereum\/\">Ethereum<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/solana\/\">Solana<\/a>, TON, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/aptos\/\">Aptos<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/algorand\/\">Algorand<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Tether is not launching a blockchain network<\/h2>\n<p>Ardoino explained that Tether values &#8220;neutrality&#8221; and prefers not to centralize its operations through a proprietary blockchain. Instead, the company is focused on supporting USDT integration across existing networks, including support for gas fees.<\/p>\n<p>Ardoino furthered Tether's primary interest in partnerships with other companies and communities. He emphasized that the company's mission is &#8220;Unstoppable TogETHER,&#8221; aligning with a collaborative approach rather than attempting to consolidate control under its chain.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Ardoino didn't rule out the possibility of launching a blockchain in the distant future. However, he noted that his statement was an attempt to &#8220;not exclude any possibility.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Blockchain networks<\/h2>\n<p>Tether's stance contrasts with a recent trend in the industry, where more firms are developing their own blockchain networks.<\/p>\n<p>Centralized exchanges like <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/coinbase\/\">Coinbase<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/kraken\/\">Kraken<\/a> have entered the space with their Ethereum layer-2 networks, Base and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/kraken-eyes-defi-expansion-with-launch-of-ink-its-new-ethereum-layer-2-network\/\">Ink<\/a>, respectively.

He highlights <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/sonic-labs-founder-argues-l2s-as-appchains-are-not-logical-for-builders\/\">challenges<\/a> such as high infrastructure costs, fragmented liquidity, and limited developer support, suggesting these factors may inhibit the widespread adoption of these proprietary networks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has dismissed recent speculation about the company&#8217;s plans to launch a proprietary blockchain network.
