Tether инвестирует в Web3 и диверсифицирует активы

cryptonews.ruPublished on 2024-03-26Last updated on 2024-12-26

Компания Tether, эмитент самого популярного стейблкоина USDT, вложила $2 млн в фонд Arcanum Emerging Technologies Fund II. Он занимается поддержкой децентрализованных проектов в секторе Web3, включая решения для трансграничных платежей и улучшения финансовых сервисов для тех, кто не имеет доступа к традиционным банкам.

Глава компании Tether Паоло Ардоино отметил, что его организация стремится противодействовать цензуре. По его заверениям, развитие технологий, которые снижают зависимость от централизованных систем, становится важным в условиях нарастающих геополитических конфликтов.

Инвестиция стала частью масштабной стратегии диверсификации активов компании. В 2024 году Tether расширила направления: от сектора токенизации реальных активов (RWA) до энергетических сделок. К примеру, осенью руководство предложило властям Турции выпустить цифровой токен, обеспеченный запасами бора — минералом, используемом в производстве стекла, удобрений и чистящих средств. Эта страна контролирует 70% мировых запасов данного ресурса.

Спустя несколько дней Tether заключила энергетическую сделку, профинансировав $45 млн для транспортировки 670 тыс. баррелей нефти с территорий Ближнего Востока. Она была частично оплачена с стабильной монетой USDT, что продемонстрировало новые возможности для применения криптовалют.

Наконец, в следующем году компания запустит платформу Hadron для токенизации реальных активов. С ее помощью можно будет оцифровывать ценные бумаги, акции и прочее, создавая новые возможности для бизнеса и государственных властей.

Одним из крупнейших шагов Tether стало недавнее вложение $775 млн в видео-платформу Rumble. Это площадка для свободы слова и отказа от цензуры. Таким образом, эмитент USDT продолжает укреплять свою роль в развитии индустрии Web3 и токенизации реальных активов (RWA), создавая новые возможности для дальнейшего роста глобальной криптовалютной экосистемы.

Cardano rallies 13% ahead of van Rossem upgrade—but can the move last?

Cardano's ADA surged 13.22% with trading volume up nearly 60%, coinciding with the anticipated van Rossem hard fork—an intra-era upgrade focused on performance, governance, and new Plutus functions. This move was also supported by a broader market rebound, with Bitcoin surpassing $62,000. Despite the rally, ADA's overall price structure remains bearish. The price recently fell below the crucial $0.235 support, and the swing structure turned bearish after breaking the $0.32 level in January 2026. Although the price breached the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.1789, a daily close above $0.19 is needed to shift the structure to bullish. Technical indicators show mixed signals: the MFI indicates upward momentum, but the CMF remains weak, reflecting a lack of sustained buying pressure. Analysts suggest the current bounce is overextended, with the MFI above 80. They identify a potential short opportunity for swing traders, with invalidation above $0.19 and downside targets near $0.138 and $0.126. In summary, while the upgrade provided a short-term catalyst, the underlying market structure suggests a rejection from the $0.178-$0.190 area is likely.

Standard Chartered Takes Over USDC Onboarding; Circle Cedes Control for Scale

Standard Chartered and Circle have announced a partnership where institutional clients can now mint and redeem USDC directly through Standard Chartered's existing banking infrastructure, eliminating the need for separate accounts with Circle. Initially launching in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), this service represents the first time a Global Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB) is offering such direct, integrated access. This move effectively "translates" USDC into a standard banking option, opening the door for major institutional capital like pension funds and sovereign wealth funds that require the trust, compliance, and risk frameworks of a major bank. For Circle, this is a strategic trade: ceding some direct client relationships to leverage Standard Chartered's vast distribution network, thereby potentially massively scaling USDC's circulation and its core interest revenue model. For Standard Chartered, it's a chance to offer a new digital asset service without building the underlying stablecoin infrastructure. The partnership signals a significant shift in the stablecoin narrative. Rather than bypassing traditional finance, stablecoins are becoming integrated into it, with major banks like Standard Chartered positioning themselves at the crucial entry point. The focus is moving from legitimizing stablecoins to determining how value and pricing power will be distributed among issuers, banking channels, and regulatory frameworks in this new, converging landscape.

‘Chicago’s last trade?’ – CFTC Chair warns against new 0.2% crypto tax

CFTC Chair Mike Selig criticizes a new Illinois law imposing a 0.2% tax on every cryptocurrency transaction, warning it could undermine Chicago's financial standing by driving investors and businesses away. He argues the state's punitive approach contradicts the federal government's more measured CLARITY Act, aimed at fostering innovation. The tax is set to take effect in January 2027. Broader federal crypto tax proposals addressing issues like double taxation are under review but face delays, with progress likely dependent on the outcome of the November midterm elections.

The $75 line in the sand: Hyperliquid approaches a key decision point

Bitcoin and most altcoins have been in a downtrend since October 2025, with recent gains seen as minor bounces. However, Hyperliquid (HYPE), a large-cap DEX token, has maintained a strong long-term bullish trend for over a year. Trading around $70.11, it was up 74% annually. On the weekly chart, the RSI shows potential for a bearish divergence if prices push past $72.1. Currently, HYPE trades within a one-month range of $53.35 to $74.78, having recently moved above key resistance levels. Despite some whale profit-taking, steady buying pressure, a rising OBV, and an RSI above 50 suggest upside momentum toward the critical $75 supply zone. For swing traders, the optimal risk/reward entry is not yet present. The key action will be a decisive breakout above or a bearish rejection from $75, which would signal the next major directional move.
