Tether, the company behind the widely used USDT stablecoin, is said to be in talks for one of the biggest private fundraisings in crypto history.
According to multiple reports , the firm is exploring a $15 billion to $20 billion equity raise that could value the company at about $500 billion if the deal is priced at the levels under discussion.
Funding Targets And Valuation
Based on reports, Tether is looking to sell roughly a 3% stake in the deal, which is how the $500 billion figure is being calculated.
The plan, as reported, would involve new shares rather than existing owners selling down their holdings. The raise size under discussion — $15–$20 billion — would make this one of the largest private placements seen in the crypto sector.
