🔥 Cryptocurrency "Tether" Company Reveals Big Scoop 🔥
USDT major shareholders plan to run away at half price.
Latest news:
Tether launches a $20 billion fundraising plan, aiming for a $500 billion valuation,
the goal is to rival OpenAI, or even reach the combined market cap of Goldman Sachs + Blackstone,
clearly aiming to create a wealth myth in the crypto world.
But unexpectedly—
the major shareholders are directly throwing down the gauntlet and quitting now.
🌎 Plot Twist
The major shareholders explicitly state:
They want to cash out and run.
Even more intense:
They originally wanted to sell shares at a $280 billion valuation,
which is like a half-price clearance sale for Tether.
Of course, Tether can't allow:
👉 to openly say—
If they want to sell, it must be at a $500 billion valuation.
In plain words:
It’s to avoid affecting my $20 billion fundraising.
❓ The Question Arises
Is this:
• A new wealth myth in the crypto circle?
or
• Do the major shareholders know some hidden truth that ordinary people don’t?
⚠ The core reason is actually two words: fear.
1. Fear of asset pegging failure
Tether’s 40% profit,
comes from high-risk assets like Bitcoin and gold.
But Standard & Poor’s has already warned:
👉 As soon as Bitcoin drops 30%,
Tether’s safety cushion will be gone.
The possible outcomes are:
• USDT losing its peg
• Triggering regulatory red lines
• Or even bankruptcy, or more severe consequences
Rather than waiting for a disaster,
it’s better to cash out at the high valuation.
2. Fear of not being able to sell later
Tether’s equity structure is very special:
• Very poor liquidity
• But extremely concentrated
Current structure:
• Chairman Giancarlo Devasini holds 47%
• CEO Paolo Ardoino and other core shareholders hold about 20%
• Other shareholders hold very little, almost no say
Essentially, it’s one sentence:
👉 The big boss makes the call.
In the context of increasing regulation,
what do small shareholders fear most?
👉 A policy change could render their shares worthless.
So the logic is very realistic:
• Selling at a $500 billion valuation is best
• $280 billion is also acceptable
• Better than ending up empty-handed and losing everything
⚔ Final Scene
On one side:
👉 Tether loudly aiming for a $500 billion market cap
On the other side:
👉 Major shareholders preparing to run away at half price
Which side are you on?
If you are a USDT shareholder,
would you jump ship early?
Anyway, I would.
Hahaha 😝
