Key Points:
The investment arm of Tether, Tether Trade Finance, has just reached another milestone through the financing of the first USDT-based crude oil transaction in the Middle East. This deal, which closed in October 2024, moved the equivalent of 670,000 barrels of crude oil worth $45 million. The deal underlines the growing presence of Tether as a player in global trade finance, most especially in the giant $10 trillion trade finance industry in which it seeks to revolutionize transactions with its stablecoin-backed solution.
This transaction with TXMI is part of how blockchain technology upsets traditional finance with the provision of effective and low-cost capital solutions using USD₮. Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, sounded excited about expanding into new commodity sectors, saying that Tether was all about making trade seamless and very smooth with the promise of faster and more transparent transactions. This deal is likely to be one of many as Tether develops further the use of its USD₮ stablecoin in trade across a wide variety of industries, according to Tether.
