Tether's recent major move has attracted widespread attention. This stablecoin giant is conducting a large-scale equity financing round, amounting to approximately $2 billion, with a current valuation reaching $50 billion. Interestingly, during the financing process, Tether restricted low-priced resale to certain shareholders to prevent cheap cash-outs within a valuation range of $28 billion, demonstrating the company's strong control over its valuation.



What is even more noteworthy is the strategic layout after the financing. Tether has explicitly stated that it will promote stock tokenization and create secondary market liquidity for these shares through blockchain technology. At the same time, a buyback mechanism will be implemented to facilitate investor exits. This combined approach signals that Tether is officially entering the RWA( real-world asset tokenization) field.

From stablecoin issuance to RWA track layout, Tether's move is very interesting. Using its own stock tokenization as an entry point to open up the RWA market not only adds flexibility to its own financing but also helps accumulate experience in real-world asset tokenization. Many people are paying attention to this idea.

Still monitoring the 280 to 500 price difference zone at 3 a.m... Tether's liquidity design is excellent, and there's arbitrage opportunity as soon as the secondary market opens.

20 billion in funding to build a 50 billion valuation, Tether's move is quite aggressive, directly blocking the cash-out space.

Tether's approach is quite clever, preventing cash-out while also advancing into RWA. They're really playing a big game.

Tether's move is indeed bold, directly using its own stock as a testing ground for RWA... But speaking of which, is a $50 billion valuation really justified?

A valuation of 50 billion locked-in, Tether's gameplay still has some tricks up its sleeve. We need to keep an eye on RWA, using tokenized stocks as a stepping stone—Old Fox indeed. The king of stablecoins turning to asset tokenization—looking forward to seeing how this move plays out. Tether's fundraising rhythm this time is really sharp; I see through the move to prevent cash-outs. Tokenized stocks repurchased—it's like they're planning to build themselves into an ecosystem. Basically, they're riding the RWA hype to once again harvest some retail investors—believe it or not. The logic is good, but can Tether's credibility really withstand this kind of turbulence? A valuation of 50 billion... something still feels off. Tokenized stocks have liquidity now, but the risks have come along too.
