Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, believes the days of stablecoins—including USDT—are numbered. In a bold prediction, Ardoino stated that Bitcoin will eventually outlast all fiat currencies and stablecoins, becoming the world’s dominant financial asset.
Ardoino foresees a global financial reset where national currencies crash due to hyperinflation and systemic failures. In such a scenario, stablecoins like USDT will become obsolete, and Bitcoin will remain the only viable currency.
🗣️ “I expect a global financial reset where all national currencies crash. At that point, USDT will be completely useless, and Bitcoin will be the only currency that survives.” — Paolo Ardoino
This Bitcoin-maximalist stance aligns with the belief that Bitcoin’s decentralization, security, and scarcity make it the only asset capable of withstanding financial crises.
While Ardoino predicts Bitcoin will take over, he acknowledges that USDT serves a crucial role today:
✔️ Bridging fiat and crypto – Helping users transition to a Bitcoin-dominated future
✔️ Providing liquidity – USDT remains the most widely traded stablecoin
✔️ Supporting emerging markets – Where access to stable fiat is limited
🗣️ “Tether exists as long as there is a need for it. Right now, it helps economies transition from fiat to a Bitcoin-dominated world.”
As Bitcoin adoption grows, Ardoino believes the need for stablecoins will vanish:
❌ USDT’s relevance fades as businesses and individuals embrace Bitcoin
❌ Stablecoins won’t be needed when Bitcoin becomes the global reserve asset
❌ Regulatory pressures (like MiCA in Europe) are already shrinking USDT’s market presence
Despite these predictions, Tether is adapting, diversifying investments into AI, green energy, and Latin American agriculture—preparing for a Bitcoin-driven economy.
Although Ardoino envisions Bitcoin replacing USDT, he admits that stablecoins still serve a purpose in today’s crypto markets. USDT provides:
🔹 Liquidity for traders
🔹 Stability in volatile markets
🔹 A stepping stone for Bitcoin adoption
However, in the long run, Tether’s dominance will fade as Bitcoin’s role expands.
Will Bitcoin truly replace all fiat and stablecoins? Only time will tell. But one thing is clear—Paolo Ardoino is betting on it. 🚀🔥
