Speaking at the Bitcoin 2026 conference in Las Vegas on May 11, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino declared that regulatory clarity is finally coming to the global crypto market. He noted that the era of regulation by enforcement is giving way to defined legislative frameworks across major economies, citing recent U.S. stablecoin legislation and the CLARITY Act review process. Ardoino announced a major developer grants program aimed at funding peer-to-peer protocols and decentralized artificial intelligence, framing Tether’s mission as building sovereign internet infrastructure. He added that Tether’s reserves now include over 100,000 Bitcoin and more than 50 tons of physical gold.
