作为全球稳定币市场的绝对领导者，Tether的USDT代币与美元挂钩，当前市值约1720亿美元，远超排 名第二的Circle发行的USDC(约740亿美元)。 Tether的盈利模式主要依赖于将USDT储备资金投资于类似现金的资产，如美国国债，并通过利息收入 获利。据公司7月发布的博客文章，Tether在第二季度录得49亿美元利润。首席执行官Paolo Ardoino近期 更声称公司利润率高达99%。不过，Tether公布的财务数据未遵循上市公司披露标准，透明度备受市场 质疑。 在美联储加息周期内，高利率为Tether带来了巨额收益。但随着美国利率下行，这一"利差盛宴"或将逐 渐减弱，从而对公司盈利模式构成挑战。 智通财经APP获悉，消息指出，全球最大稳定币USDT的发行方Tether正与投资者洽谈一笔高达200亿美 元的融资交易，若成功完成，该公司估值或将达到5000亿美元，跻身全球最具价值的私人公司之列，与 OpenAI和特斯拉(TSLA.US)CEO马斯克旗下SpaceX等科技巨头比肩。 据知情人士透露，总部位于萨尔瓦多的Tether正通过私募方式出售约3%股份，目标融资金额在150亿至 200亿美元之 ...

If the British governme ...
