Паоло Ардоино дал интервью изданию The Block.
Он прокомментировал, в том числе, инвестиции Tether.
В частности, компания владеет 100 000 BTC и осуществила несколько вливаний в сектор майнинга.
По оценке Ардоино, к концу 2025 года Tether станет крупнейшим контрагентом в этом секторе.

Компания Tether, эмитент стейблкоина USDT, может стать крупнейшим биткоин-майнером к концу 2025 года. Об этом заявил CEO фирмы Паоло Ардоино в рамках подкаста The Big Brain для издания The Block.

Обсуждая с ведущими инвестиционную стратегию Tether, Ардоино отметил следующее:

«За последние два или три года Tether заработала более $20 млрд. […] Из них около $14 млрд или чуть больше направили на финансирование различных проектов».

По словам Ардоино, Tether инвестирует в разные сферы, включая не только Web3, но также ИИ и другие сектора. В частности, CEO Tether упомянул вливание в платформу Rumble и агропромышленную фирму Adecoagro.

Также компания инвестирует в энергетический сектор и биткоин-майнинг. Ранее мы сообщали о том, что Tether, например, вложила $32 млн в фирму Bitdeer. И это не первое такое вливание.

«Tether располагает около 100 000 BTC. Поскольку это крупное вложение, мы считаем, что должны быть частью сферы майнинга, чтобы в определенном смысле защитить наши инвестиции. […] Если у вас есть $1 млн, и вы размышляете, куда его вложить, более прибыльным будет покупка биткоинов. Но для нас важнее быть частью этой системы», — заявил Ардоино.

CEO Tether подчеркнул, что к концу 2025 года компания станет крупнейшим майнером. Вместе с тем Ардоино не раскрыл ни текущий хешрейт компании, ни объем ее вычислительных мощностей.

Однако, согласно официальному сайту, Tether располагает по меньше мере 15 объектами для майнинга биткоинов. Они находятся, в том числе, в Уругвае, Парагвае и Сальвадоре.

Также компания инвестирует в «зеленую» энергетику. По словам Ардоино, это один из четырех основных «столпов общества», напряду со стабильными деньгами, коммуникацией и интеллектом.

В рамках подкаста Ардоино также обсудил путь Tether к успеху, принятие USDT, интерес компании к рынку золота, а также позиционирование фирмы в условиях динамичного нормативного ландшафта.

How Token Economy Reshapes the Business Rules of AI 'Measurement' | ToB Industry Observation

"Token Economy: How It Reshapes the Business Rules of AI's 'Metrics' | ToB Industry Observation" The article discusses how the token economy is fundamentally changing the business landscape for AI, moving from a phase of explosive technical supply to a focus on measurable value for enterprise demand. It highlights the astronomical growth in daily token usage in China, framing tokens as the new "measurement standard" or "electricity" of the intelligent era. A central challenge is determining a token's value, which varies drastically—up to 100,000x—across different applications, from drug discovery to casual chat. The concept of "high-quality tokens" that deliver real intelligence, versus "noise," is emphasized as crucial. Lenovo's Vice President shares three proposed "laws" of token economics: 1. **Law of Inertia:** The cost per token will continuously decline due to technological innovation, system optimization, and intelligent runtime scheduling. 2. **Law of Acceleration:** The value generated per token accelerates based on the depth of AI integration into business workflows, the level of engineering support, and organizational readiness. 3. **Law of the Singularity:** A tipping point where the value curve of AI application surpasses its cost curve, shifting from cost-saving to generating incremental, previously impossible value—enabling "innovation at scale." The article notes real-world struggles, such as companies exceeding AI budgets due to unpredictable token pricing and "token inflation" from agentic AI workflows. Solutions being explored include standardized metrics for token quality, transparent pricing, and new infrastructure like "Token Factories" for efficient, on-demand token production. The ultimate goal is for businesses to move past anxiety and reach the "singularity," where AI drives scalable innovation, akin to how electricity enabled countless modern appliances.

Germany Sends More Bitcoin To Kraken And Coinbase As Selloff Fears Persist

The German government has sent another portion of Bitcoin from seized holdings to major cryptocurrency exchanges Kraken and Coinbase, according to wallet data tracked by Arkham Intelligence. These transfers continue to fuel market concerns about potential state-level selling pressure as traders interpret exchange deposits as a likely prelude to sales. While the liquidity of these large exchanges can help absorb flows, the persistent movement from an entity expected to liquidate assets keeps the market nervous. Bitcoin's price stability now hinges on whether demand from ETFs and spot buyers can successfully absorb this ongoing supply.

A Four-Year Pact: Can Ethereum Secure the Institutional Settlement Track?

**Summary:** Ethereum's founder Vitalik Buterin has outlined a three to four-year major upgrade roadmap named "Lean Ethereum," aiming to solidify the blockchain's role as a foundational settlement layer for institutional finance. This plan targets key upgrades like faster transaction finality (sub-second), massively increased network capacity (1 billion Gas per second on Layer 1, trillions on Layer 2), post-quantum security, and native privacy at the protocol level. A core and potentially disruptive component is a proposed state storage overhaul designed to drastically reduce transaction fees for most assets. While this roadmap clarifies Ethereum's value proposition for institutions like banks and asset managers seeking a secure, neutral, and scalable settlement infrastructure, it also introduces significant execution risks. The success of "Lean Ethereum" hinges on complex, coordinated upgrades across the entire ecosystem—including applications, wallets, and Layer 2 networks—without fracturing composability or developer habits. The next four years will be a critical test of Ethereum's ability to execute this ambitious technical transformation while maintaining the network neutrality that attracts institutional users, balancing the promise of a robust future against the uncertainties of a prolonged, foundational rebuild.

Bitcoin Rebounds to $64k as Fed Rate Hike Expectations Plummet?

Bitcoin rebounded strongly this week, climbing back above $60,000 and briefly touching $64,000. This recovery followed a significant drop after the U.S. presidential election, with the market now closely watching Federal Reserve policy signals. The key trigger was a weaker-than-expected June U.S. jobs report, showing only 57,000 new jobs versus an expected 115,000. While the unemployment rate fell, analysts noted concerning details like declining labor force participation. However, wage growth accelerated to 3.5% year-over-year, sustaining inflation concerns. Market focus has shifted to the upcoming July Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. Analysts expect a monthly decline in overall prices, partly due to falling gasoline costs. This has led traders to reduce bets on further Fed rate hikes this year, with markets now pricing in a high probability of rates holding steady at the July meeting. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's recent comments about easing inflation risks have further supported this dovish shift. The anticipation of lower borrowing costs and a weaker dollar is seen as supportive for risk-sensitive assets like Bitcoin. Some investors are positioning for a potential Fed policy pivot to easing later this year, which could benefit "devaluation trades" including cryptocurrencies. Looking ahead, Bitcoin's price trajectory remains highly sensitive to U.S. economic data—particularly jobs and inflation reports—and evolving Fed policy expectations. Other critical factors include institutional ETF flows and geopolitical developments. Analysts suggest that if these factors improve, the recent sell-off could be seen as a buying opportunity; otherwise, high volatility may persist until a solid price floor is established.

Circle MiCA License Gives USDC A European Regulatory Advantage

Circle has obtained the first European Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license in France under the MiCA framework for a global stablecoin issuer. This license provides a clear regulatory pathway for the compliant issuance of its USDC and EURC stablecoins across the European Union. Circle's proactive move gives it a significant early advantage as MiCA rules tighten, allowing it to position itself as a fully regulated issuer to exchanges, fintech partners, and institutional users. While factors like liquidity and user habits remain important, the license creates competitive pressure on rival stablecoin issuers lacking MiCA authorization, potentially limiting their utility on regulated European platforms. The approval is particularly significant for EURC, offering a compliant foundation for euro-denominated stablecoins in the region.
