on the scene, on October 1, 2025, at the Token 2049 event, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino pointed out in his speech that the core value of USDT lies in its becoming a necessary tool for emerging markets to cope with currency instability.

According to his introduction, 3 billion people worldwide are in a "no banking service" status or in countries with high inflation (such as Turkey's currency devaluation against the US dollar by 80% in the past 5 years, and Argentina's devaluation by over 95% in the past 10 years). Traditional fiat currencies cannot guarantee family savings, and black market cash dollars have security risks (especially after offline transactions were restricted following the 2020 epidemic).

USDT, as a "digital dollar alternative," not only helps families resist inflation, safeguard basic needs such as children's education and food expenses, but also quickly penetrates due to the characteristics of emerging markets with a high proportion of young population and high degree of digitization. It emphasizes that this value is not simply a cryptocurrency product attribute, but a reflection of the social significance of USDT as an "inclusive financial tool," as well as the underlying logic of its user base adding 30 million wallet users every quarter and a market value of $174 billion.
