You Won’t Believe Who’s Outmuscling Nations in U.S. Treasuries! 😲💸

“We are the stronghold for the U.S. dollar hegemony,” declared Ardoino, with all the subtlety of a brass band at a vicar’s tea party. Tether, it seems, is not content with merely supporting financial inclusion; no, sir! They’re extending the dollar’s reach across the globe on digital rails, like a particularly ambitious railway baron with a fondness for greenbacks.

Ardoino positioned Tether as not just a crypto whizz-kid but as a veritable colossus bestriding global finance. The chap pointed out, with a twinkle in his eye, that Tether now holds more U.S. Treasuries than Germany, Spain, and Australia. One can only imagine the Germans clutching their ledgers in dismay.

“If we were a nation, we would be the 18th largest holder of U.S. Treasuries,” he boasted, presumably while polishing his monocle and adjusting his top hat.

As of May 2025, USDT’s market cap has soared past $152 billion, according to CoinGecko—making it the most widely used stablecoin on this spinning orb we call home. One can almost hear the sound of champagne corks popping in the background.

Transparency and Auditing

Ardoino also tackled the transparency question with the air of a man who’s been asked if he’s seen the family silver. Tether’s quarterly attestations are handled by BDO, the fifth-largest auditing firm globally (not quite the Big Four, but certainly no slouch). The “Big Four”—PwC, Deloitte, EY, and KPMG—are still circling warily, like cats around a suspiciously full cream jug, but talks are apparently underway.

Despite past kerfuffles and the odd raised eyebrow, Tether seems hell-bent on being more than just another crypto utility. They’re angling to become a pillar of U.S. financial influence abroad—spreading dollar liquidity into emerging markets and decentralized ecosystems with all the gusto of a butler distributing sherry at Christmas.

As the digital dollar landscape shifts and shimmies, Ardoino’s remarks suggest USDT could soon be the cornerstone of U.S. economic diplomacy—assuming, of course, nobody trips over the digital red carpet.
