Tether Scales Back Fund Plan: TON Technical Analysis

Tether’s Fundraising Target is Changing

Tether, the issuer of the largest stablecoin by market cap USDt, reduced its $20 billion fundraising plan announced last fall due to investor skepticism. Company advisors suggested lowering the target to as low as $5 billion; Financial Times reported this on Wednesday citing anonymous sources. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino denied the reports, stating that the $15-20 billion figure is not a target but a maximum sales amount, and expressed that they would be satisfied even with zero sales.

Tether has not abandoned its $500 billion valuation target, but investors are skeptical of this figure. Ardoino defended the company’s profits by comparing them to AI platforms like OpenAI, stating that $10 billion in profit was achieved in 2025, representing a 23% decrease from the previous year. USDt’s market cap is $185 billion, XAUt at $3.6 billion; the company reported 130 metric tons of physical gold reserves at the end of January.
