Tether Forecasts $15B Profit for 2025 Amid Stablecoin Boom

Tether Forecasts $15B Profit for 2025 Amid Stablecoin Boom

The post Tether Forecasts $15B Profit for 2025 Amid Stablecoin Boom appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Stablecoin issuer Tether expects 2025 to mark another record year for profitability, underscoring the company’s powerful business model as global adoption of digital dollars continues to accelerate. According to Bloomberg, the El Salvador–based company projects approximately $15 billion in profit for 2025 — up from $13 billion in 2024. This growth further cements Tether’s position as one of the most profitable companies in the world on a per-employee basis. Tether’s success, driven by the dominance of its USDt (USDT) token, the world’s largest stablecoin with nearly $186 billion in circulation, has drawn significant attention from investors. As Cointelegraph recently reported, the company is seeking to raise $20 billion at a $500 billion valuation. While CEO Paolo Ardoino has not confirmed specific figures, he did state that the company is pursuing capital “from a select group of high-profile investors” as it continues to expand its business lines. Source: Paolo Ardoino “We have been contacted by an enormous amount of companies that want to invest in us. We have to draw a line in the sand on a valuation that we think is very cheap,” Ardoino told Bloomberg. Related: Tether posts $4.9B profit in Q2 as stablecoins go mainstream Stablecoin adoption heats up Stablecoins, which are blockchain-based representations of fiat currencies, have surged in prominence this year following US Congress’s passage of the country’s first stablecoin legislation, the GENIUS Act. The move signals that regulators in the world’s largest economy increasingly recognize the potential of blockchain-based payment systems in reinforcing the US dollar’s global dominance. Tether co-founder Reeve Collins described this as part of a broader transformation that will see major fiat currencies become tokenized over the next decade. “All currency will be a stablecoin. So even fiat currency will be a stablecoin. It’ll just be called dollars, euros, or yen,” Collins…

How and When They Become Core Finance

How and When They Become Core Finance

The post How and When They Become Core Finance appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. September was a busy month with RWA Summit, KBW, and Token2049 back-to-back. One point is clear: tokenized securities are here to stay, and the questions revolve around “how” and “when” instead of “what” and “why.” Below are five takeaways and what they signal for the next year. Defi’s Utility is Undercounted Because the Best Infrastructure Runs Quietly Markets still miss what happens when tokenized assets actually work onchain. The practical benefits today are access and programmability for onchain investors:  24/7 settlement windows, access to new securities onchain, clear data, and faster reconciliation. DeFi connectivity is being solved for RWAs. Different designs are emerging to connect institutional assets with onchain liquidity: Horizon takes a permissioned assets, permissionless access path in a blue-chip market. Pendle supports permissioned or permissionless structures through yield/option primitives. Centrifuge uses a wrapped token on professional fund shares (deRWA) to provide optionality.  Under the hood, standards like ERC-4626 and ERC-7540 anchor these flows. In our case, 4626 handles real-time vault accounting and 7540 handles queued subscriptions and redemptions, so instruments behave like software while meeting institutional requirements. These standards make RWAs composable enabling liquidity and risk management across protocols. Once RWAs are composable, they stop being a “category” and become a feature of onchain capital markets. “Crypto is Fintech” is Now Table Stakes Across recent RWA gatherings the shift was the same: blockchain is moving to the background. Payment rails, stablecoins, neobanks, and cards are shipping consumer distribution while the chain does the work under the hood. Users want outcomes, not mechanics. If someone gets S&P 500 exposure in an app, they care about the index, not that it is delivered via tokenization. If a card pays 8% rewards sourced from DeFi lending, they care about the rewards, not the rails. Tokenization is no longer an innovation exercise.…

The rebel platform making DeFi make sense again

The rebel platform making DeFi make sense again

The post The rebel platform making DeFi make sense again appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice. The content and materials featured on this page are for educational purposes only. Screx is redefining DeFi with an AI-powered, all-in-one platform that unites swaps, staking, lending, and more, finally making decentralized finance simple and user-focused. Summary Screx positions itself as the “rebel of DeFi,” tackling fragmentation by uniting swaps, staking, lending, farming, and cross-chain tools in one seamless hub. Powered by AI smart routing, Screx optimizes every transaction for speed and cost, making DeFi simpler and more efficient for everyday users. With rapid community growth and an active presale on Gems.vip, Screx is gaining strong traction as a user-first solution in the decentralized finance space. DeFi is in shambles. With hundreds of blockchains that can’t talk to each other, thousands of protocols that do nothing but clash, and apps that make even experienced users feel lost, DeFi has, as GenZ would put it, “lost the plot”.  Every few weeks, a new DeFi project crops up on the block, claiming to be the new web3 messiah, but only ends up adding more layers of confusion, more middle men, and alienating the user even more. Screx, however, is a different story. It’s not another DeFi platform. Labelling itself as the rebel of DeFi, Screx dares to go against the current. The team behind this new venture is bold enough to directly address everything that’s wrong with DeFi, and show how to fix it. Screx is an all-in-one DeFi hub that connects swaps, staking, lending, farming, perpetuals, escrow, and cross-chain bridging within one intelligent environment. Powered by Smart Routing and AI, Screx acts as a command center for decentralized finance, designed to make DeFi finally usable and human-centered.  In short, Screx is focused on the user over all else. And that’s how you know…

Foxsy AI Nears Launch of FoxLeague: Where Simulation Meets Real Robotics

Foxsy AI Nears Launch of FoxLeague: Where Simulation Meets Real Robotics

The post Foxsy AI Nears Launch of FoxLeague: Where Simulation Meets Real Robotics appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. After a year of building at the crossroads of robotics, AI, and blockchain, Foxsy AI is entering its most defining chapter yet. The project — known for merging intelligent agent design with decentralized gameplay — is approaching the launch of FoxLeague, its flagship simulation platform.What began as an experimental fusion between competitive robotics and Web3 economics is now evolving into a full-fledged ecosystem — one that’s ready to go live. FoxLeague: From Simulation to Reality FoxLeague launches this October, marking the beginning of a new era for AI-driven gaming.Initially, it will serve as a competitive soccer simulation environment, where users can build, train, and manage AI-powered robot teams — all connected through the $FOXSY token economy. But Foxsy’s vision doesn’t stop at digital play. In 2026, the simulation will expand into the physical world, where autonomous robots — developed and trained by the Foxsy team — will take the field. The project is already teaching soccer skills to its first real robot, connecting code, AI, and movement into one continuous learning system. “FoxLeague is not just a game — it’s a living experiment in robotics and strategy,” says founder Sebastian Marian. “We’re teaching our first robot to play soccer right now. The goal is to create an ecosystem where virtual and physical AI compete and evolve together.” Showcasing at Token2049 and CLS Event The momentum hasn’t just been digital. Earlier this month, the Foxsy team made a strong appearance at Token2049 Singapore, one of the world’s largest Web3 gatherings.Foxsy’s booth — powered by live demos and real discussions — showcased how AI, robotics, and decentralized infrastructure are converging into something tangible. The team also co-hosted a side event with CLS, connecting with founders, investors, and technologists who share the same vision of bridging real-world and virtual economies. While the goal…
