The USDT stablecoin issuer expands into decentralized technology and AI with a privacy-focused health and wellness app, keeping user data offline and encrypted.
Tether, the company behind the $186 billion USDT stablecoin, has introduced QVAC Health, an AI-aided application for tracking fitness, nutrition, and biometric data. The app stores user information offline and encrypted, avoiding commercial servers and preventing data harvesting for advertisements. According to Tether CEO Paolo Arodino, the initiative aims to preserve privacy while enabling advanced health monitoring. The launch is part of Tether’s broader push beyond finance into decentralized technology and artificial intelligence. The firm has developed QVAC, a decentralized AI platform for device-based applications, invested €70 million ($81.5 million) in Generative Bionics, and acquired a majority stake in Blackrock Neurotech for $200 million.
