Cooperation with financial institutions
We will work to expand the participation of local banks and financial institutions to ensure they have the knowledge and tools to effectively utilize stablecoins and digital assets for their customers.

Market Performance and Challenges
Tether's USDT recently surpassed $100 billion in market capitalization, recording 9% year-on-year growth. With a market cap exceeding $71 billion, it maintains a significant lead over its closest competitor, USD Coin (USDC).
However, concerns about the quality of the assets backing USDT persist in the cryptocurrency industry. A recent UN report cites Tron's popularity in cyber fraud and money laundering activities in Southeast Asia. Tether refuted these accusations, emphasizing its cooperation with law enforcement and token traceability.
