Profits Fall by a Quarter: Why Tether Abandoned Its $20 Billion Financing Plan

In the face of a cooling crypto market and investor skepticism, Tether, the world's largest stablecoin issuer, has significantly scaled back its ambitious fundraising plans. Initially targeting $15-20 billion, which would have valued the company at $500 billion, the firm is now considering raising only about $5 billion. CEO Paolo Ardoino downplayed the original target, calling it a "misunderstanding" and a maximum cap, not a goal, while emphasizing that Tether is highly profitable and doesn't urgently need the capital. Despite the success of its USDT stablecoin, which has a market cap of approximately $185 billion, Tether faces persistent investor caution. Concerns revolve around its $500 billion valuation—comparable to major AI firms and SpaceX—ongoing regulatory scrutiny, and the lack of a full independent audit, relying instead on quarterly attestations. Ardoino defended the valuation, contrasting Tether's substantial profits with the losses of highly-valued AI companies. While new U.S. stablecoin legislation and competitor Circle's IPO have boosted momentum, regulatory risks and Tether's controversial history remain hurdles. The company's profits fell by about a quarter in 2025, attributed to declining Bitcoin prices, though it gained $8-10 billion from its gold holdings. Tether's massive scale has made it a major player in U.S. Treasuries and gold markets, positioning it as a critical bridge between traditional finance and the volatile crypto world.

14 Years After Incubating Coinbase, YC Finally Decides to Issue Investment Funds in USDC

Y Combinator (YC), the renowned startup accelerator behind companies like Airbnb, Stripe, and Coinbase, announced on February 3 that, starting from the Spring 2026 batch, it will offer its startups the option to receive their $500,000 investment in USDC stablecoin. This marks the first time YC has officially introduced a stablecoin payment method for its investments. The decision follows the U.S. GENIUS Act passed in July 2025, which established a federal regulatory framework for stablecoins, requiring 1:1 reserve backing and granting holders redemption rights. This regulatory clarity has removed a major barrier to institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies. YC's move is significant because it signals a shift from being a crypto investor to an active participant using stablecoins in its core operations. Benefits include near-instant, low-cost transactions, especially beneficial for international startups in regions like India and Latin America, where traditional banking can be slow and expensive. YC specifically selected USDC due to its U.S.-based issuer, Circle, and regulatory compliance. The accelerator will support USDC on Ethereum, Base, and Solana blockchains. While crypto-native VCs have used stablecoins before, YC’s standardized integration into its process for all startups—not just crypto projects—represents a major step for mainstream venture capital. This shift reflects broader trends: 90% of financial institutions are integrating stablecoins, which saw $46 trillion in transaction volume in 2025. YC continues to seek founders in areas like stablecoin applications, tokenization, and on-chain ventures through its Fintech 3.0 initiative.
