Latest Tether USDT updates for 2025 indicate that the company is prepared to launch USDT in the US fully in compliance with the GENIUS Act and offer USDT for institutional investors as early as the coming years. CEO Paolo Ardoino confirmed plans to register Tether in the US as a foreign stablecoin issuer and emphasized:
“Tether will comply with the GENIUS Act,” he added.
Tether aims to create a dedicated version of the token specifically for funds and large financial institutions — USDT for institutional investors — where every basis point will be accounted for and backed by highly liquid reserves. According to Ardoino, the project could be implemented by early 2026, with the entire process tailored to meet the stringent requirements of the GENIUS Act for full compliance.
“Institutions are accustomed to ultra-efficient markets, and they will factor in every basis point. So we need to create something that suits this,” he noted.
In Europe, Tether is focusing on the development of USDT in Europe and supporting third-party MiCA stablecoin projects. Following the launch of MiCA, the company has proposed MiCA stablecoin regulatory solutions on the Hadron platform, ensuring stability and transparency of USDT operations in Europe. MiCA stablecoin regulation at the level of international standards creates additional business opportunities and makes USDT in Europe an attractive tool.
To ensure compliance with the GENIUS Act and US stablecoin regulations, Tether plans to engage a “Big Four” auditor and revise its reserve composition in favor of US government bonds and other highly liquid assets. This restructuring will enable the company to meet new banking license requirements and monthly reporting obligations without compromising user and investor interests.
“Our customer base is three billion people who lack bank accounts and access to the banking system,” Ardoino stressed.
Circle co-founder and CEO Jeremy Allaire noted that the GENIUS Act “legally codifies the company's business approach.”
“We have always been trusted, transparent, and have undergone public audits for five years,” he said.
“Once this federal law is in place, it will truly be a green light for all these types of institutions,” Allaire added.
If you want to learn how to buy USDT in the US, the process will become simpler once an official issuer and clear regulations are in place. The first step is to register on regulated crypto exchanges and connect to a reliable wallet that supports USDT for institutional investors or retail clients. After completing verification, you will be able to deposit dollars and exchange them for USDT in compliance with all US regulatory requirements.
These changes will make USDT a more accessible and transparent tool for the global market and strengthen user trust through full compliance with the GENIUS Act and international stablecoin regulations.
