Tether expands its U.S. footprint with $100 million in Anchorage Digital and a $150 million stake in Gold.com, enhancing regulated custody and stablecoin infrastructure.
According to its official announcement on February 5, Tether invested $100 million in Anchorage Digital, the first federally regulated digital asset bank in the U.S., to strengthen regulated custody, staking, settlement, and stablecoin issuance services.
