Paolo Ardoino is the CEO of Tether, the $100 Billion stablecoin company that owns more U.S. Treasuries than most countries.

We explore why Tether is winning, how it’s helping people in emerging markets and what really backs a $USDT. We also cover the state of the stablecoin regulation and even market competitors.

Tether has been and it’s still a target of Fud in the Crypto industry. Paolo is here to refute that Fud and much more.
