Founded in 2014 by a team passionate about the transformative power of technology, Tether began as a simple yet revolutionary idea: to enable seamless arbitrage between crypto exchanges with USD₮, overcoming the banking system's inefficiencies. Our humble beginnings were rooted in the desire to leverage blockchain technology for a common settlement network, transcending traditional financial boundaries.</p> </div> <div class="to-bottom"> <img src="https://tether.io/wp-content/themes/tether-io-theme/assets/images/bottom.svg" alt="" /> </div> </div> </section> <section class="intro"> <div class="container"> <div class="intro__content"> <h2>over the <b>years</b></h2> <p>Tether has evolved beyond its original scope, responding to the world's changing needs with agility and vision. Our flagship product, USD₮, initially designed to streamline crypto trading, became a lifeline for millions during the pandemic. As economies struggled and traditional financial systems faltered, individuals in emerging and developing markets turned to USD₮. It became their tool for financial freedom, enabling access to a stable financial system, remittances, cross-border trade, and preservation of wealth against inflating national currencies.</p> </div> <div class="to-bottom"> <img src="https://tether.io/wp-content/themes/tether-io-theme/assets/images/bottom-white.svg" alt="" /> </div> </div> </section> <section class="banner"></section> <section class="feature"> <div class="container"> <div class="feature__content"> <h2><b>our journey has also led us to explore and innovate</b> in other critical areas such as Bitcoin mining, P2P communications, education, AI and human evolution.</h2> <p class="main-paragraph"><b>With investments in sustainable energy,</b> we're redefining Bitcoin mining practices, prioritising eco-friendliness and efficiency.</p> <p class="main-paragraph"><b>Through our support for Holepunch and Keet,</b> we're championing decentralised communication, ensuring privacy, freedom, and independence from centralised tech giants.</p> <p class="main-paragraph"><b>Our efforts in AI infrastructure</b> are aimed at democratising access to cutting-edge technologies, enabling groundbreaking applications and enhancing global problem-solving capabilities.</p> <p class="main-paragraph"><b>Venturing into the realm of human evolution,</b> our investments in neurotechnology, underscore our commitment to merging minds and machines to unlock new dimensions of human potential, enhancing communication, creativity, and interaction with the digital world.</p> <p class="main-paragraph"><b>We're committed to democratising education,</b> preparing individuals globally for the digital and gig economies.</p> <p>As we reflect on our path, from pioneering the world’s most trusted stablecoin to championing financial and communicative autonomy, our story is far from complete.
