  • Крупнейший эмитент стейблкоинов Tether готовит рекордное частное размещение на сумму до $20 млрд.
  • Запланированная компанией сделка поставит ее рядом с OpenAI и SpaceX с оценкой в $500 млрд.
  • Она будет масштабировать бизнес в сферах ИИ, энергетики и медиа.

Компания-эмитент стейблкоина USDT — Tether — ведет переговоры с потенциальными инвесторами о привлечении от $15 до $20 млрд через частное размещение. Об этом сообщили в Bloomberg со ссылкой на осведомленных с вопросом источников.

По информации лиц, знакомых с процессом, компания готова отдать около 3% акций.

Если сделка состоится в заявленных масштабах, она может оценить Tether примерно в $500 млрд, что поставит компанию в один ряд с OpenAI и SpaceX. Это стало бы беспрецедентным результатом для криптовалютного бизнеса, который работает в относительно слабо регулируемой среде, отметили в издании.

Генеральный директор Tether Паоло Ардоино в публикации в X заявил, что компания изучает возможность привлечения средств от группы высокопрофильных инвесторов «максимизировать масштаб стратегии компании во всех существующих и новых направлениях бизнеса».

Tether is evaluating a raise from a selected group of high-profile key investors, to maximize the scale of the Company's strategy across all existing and new business lines (stablecoins, distribution ubiquity, AI, commodity trading, energy, communications, media) by several…

Он уточнил, что речь идет не только о стейблкоинах, но и о развитии направлений в сфере искусственного интеллекта (ИИ), торговли сырьем, энергетики, коммуникаций и медиа.

Сделка, по словам источников, предполагает выпуск нового капитала, а не продажу доли нынешними инвесторами.

Консультантом процесса выступает Cantor Fitzgerald, однако в компании отказались от комментариев.

Несмотря на то, что переговоры находятся на ранней стадии и цифры могут измениться, рынок уже активно обсуждает масштабы возможной сделки. Один из участников процесса подчеркнул, что «это верхняя граница ожиданий, а реальные цифры могут оказаться ниже».

По состоянию на сентябрь 2025 года капитализация USDT составляет более $172 млрд, по данным CoinMarketCap на момент написания материала. В то же время ближайший конкурент Circle с токеном USDC имеет объем около $74 млрд.

Tether продолжает доминировать на рынке благодаря прибыли от размещения резервов в казначейских облигациях США и других высоколиквидных активах. Только во II квартале 2025 года компания зафиксировала $4,9 млрд прибыли, заявив о 99% рентабельности.

Кроме финансовых планов, Tether активно готовится к возвращению на рынок США, где ранее испытывала давление регуляторов. В 2021 году компания заплатила $41 млн штрафа за обвинения в ложных утверждениях о резервах. Теперь же она делает ставку на благоприятную политику администрации президента Дональда Трампа и уже анонсировала запуск стейблкоина, который будет регулироваться в США.

По словам источников, потенциальным инвесторам уже предоставлен доступ к внутренним данным компании, а сделку планируют закрыть до конца года.

Напомним, что Tether относится к крупнейшим корпоративным владельцам биткоина с 100 521 BTC на балансе.

Why Does 'AGI Godfather' Ben Goertzel Believe the Future of AI Relies on Blockchain?

Ben Goertzel, known as the "AGI Godfather," argues that the future of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) must be built on blockchain to prevent its control by a few corporations or venture capital firms. He believes the core AGI code should be free and open-source, but that this alone is insufficient without a decentralized infrastructure to run it affordably. His blockchain project, SingularityNET, and the broader Artificial Superintelligence Alliance aim to create a user-owned, decentralized network for hosting and deploying AGI, contrasting with the closed models of companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. Goertzel criticizes the shift of other labs from open to closed development. He argues that while a closed path is simpler, an open, decentralized model—akin to Linux and the internet—is both possible and ultimately better for humanity. He envisions an "Agent economy" where individuals orchestrate teams of AI agents to perform tasks, including transactions, on an open network rather than corporate clouds. While his current model relies on cryptocurrency, plans include offering paid AI services to businesses with the decentralized blockchain as the backend. Goertzel predicts human-level AGI could arrive by 2029 and warns that a gap in understanding and access to AGI could drastically worsen inequality. The first test of his decentralized approach will be the upcoming release of the Agent Omega Claw.

A Company Once on the Brink of Bankruptcy Just Surpassed Bitcoin in Market Cap

On June 22nd, driven by rising stock prices, SK Hynix’s market capitalization reached $1.35 trillion, surpassing Bitcoin's total market cap of approximately $1.29 trillion. This temporarily made it South Korea's highest-valued company. The core driver of this surge is HBM (High Bandwidth Memory), for which SK Hynix is the primary supplier to NVIDIA, holding over 60% market share. AI's demand for high memory bandwidth has translated into immense profitability, with SK Hynix reporting a 72% operating profit margin in Q1. The company's success follows a 13-year bet on HBM technology, beginning in 2009. It nearly failed after the 2001 dot-com bubble, was acquired by SK Group in 2012, and was subsequently recapitalized to continue its long-term HBM development. The article contrasts this with the Crypto AI narrative. Capital currently favors AI infrastructure players like SK Hynix due to "real orders, physical barriers, and quantifiable profit margins." In comparison, Crypto AI projects, promising decentralized compute and data markets, remain largely conceptual with limited tangible progress. Examples include Bittensor, whose core mechanisms are still under development, and Bitcoin miners transitioning to AI, who face significant funding gaps and execution challenges. The piece cites analysis suggesting the AI sector has absorbed nearly all new market liquidity since 2022, leaving little for crypto. It concludes that the current AI infrastructure红利 is captured by entities with proven technical barriers and supply capabilities, while crypto networks still need to define their concrete role in the value chain.

Bittensor Moves Towards Ultimate Decentralization: The Critical 18 Months for the TAO Ecosystem is Here?

Bittensor, a decentralized AI protocol, is accelerating its transition to full decentralization over the next 18 months, as outlined in a recent post by co-founder Const. The project currently operates in a "semi-decentralized" state: ownership and network participation are open and permissionless, with TAO distribution based on competitive contribution. However, protocol upgrades and governance have remained under core team control to enable rapid iteration in the fast-evolving AI sector. This strategic shift comes as the ecosystem matures, boasting 128 subnets and a large community. Const argues that continued centralization now poses risks, including single points of failure and regulatory scrutiny. The upcoming decentralization roadmap includes optimizing validator competition, opening liquidity pools, introducing governance rights for Alpha holders, and refining economic models. The move could fundamentally reshape TAO's value proposition, adding governance premiums to its existing valuation based on AI narrative and scarcity. It also signals a potential maturation of the AI crypto sector, where competition may shift from hype to sustainable protocol design and real economic activity. Bittensor positions itself not just as another AI token, but as foundational infrastructure aiming to decentralize intelligence production—analogous to Bitcoin's role in decentralizing money—with the goal of creating a resilient "Millennium Intelligence Federation."

Japan's AI Dark Horse Emerges: How a 7B Small Model Challenges Fable and Mythos?

In June 2026, Sakana AI's new model Fugu caused a stir in the AI community. Its Fugu Ultra variant achieved scores of 73.7 on SWE-Bench Pro and 82.1 on TerminalBench 2.1, surpassing GPT-5.5 and Claude Opus 4.8, and was claimed to be comparable to export-restricted models like Fable 5 and Mythos Preview. Remarkably, the core of this high-performance system is not a massive model, but a small 7B-parameter RL Conductor model. Fugu operates as a multi-agent orchestrator: the 7B model acts as a "foreman," dynamically analyzing user tasks and delegating subtasks to a pool of top-tier global models (e.g., GPT-5, Gemini 3.1 Pro). It then synthesizes and verifies their outputs. This architecture represents a paradigm shift from monolithic models to an expert-team approach. It enhances performance in complex, multi-step engineering tasks like code review and security testing by enabling cross-validation from specialized models, improving long-session stability and token efficiency. However, Fugu's strengths come with trade-offs: it faces inherent latency due to multiple API calls, relies heavily on underlying US model APIs (creating dependency risks), and its benchmark comparisons with Fable/Mythos are based on reported scores, not head-to-head testing. For Japan's AI ecosystem, which lacks the massive compute and data resources of the US or China, Fugu exemplifies an "asymmetric breakthrough" strategy. Instead of competing directly in parameter scale, it focuses on intelligent orchestration of existing global models, offering a degree of AI sovereignty and resilience. While a significant system-level innovation, its ultimate capability is still bounded by the underlying models it coordinates.
