Tether CEO: If the market value of the listed company will reach $515 billion, the target will be a large hedge against instability

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino retweeted on the X platform that if Tether goes public, the company's market capitalization will reach $515 billion, making it the 19th largest company in the world, surpassing Costco and Coca-Cola. Although the numbers are beautiful, it may be a bit pessimistic considering the current bitcoin + gold reserves (still increasing), but Tether wants to remain humble and is also very excited about the next phase of the company's development. Tether is targeting large hedging instruments against social instability, so the company's ERP (equity risk premium) is negative.
Paolo Ardoino added that Tether is not just a stablecoin, but the technology being created is a real game changer in the medium to long term, such as the future where AI agents will no longer use bank accounts, email or centralized instant messaging, nor rely on cloud providers, but use bitcoin and stablecoins (USDt, XAUt) to communicate with real-time encrypted multi-signature channels.
