Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Tether unveiled a self-custody wallet and on-device AI development tools at the Plan ₿ Forum in Lugano, Switzerland, on October 24, expanding beyond its core stablecoin issuance business. CEO Paolo Ardoino framed the move under the theme "Tether: The Implementation of Psychohistory," referencing Isaac Asimov's fictional science of predicting long-term societal trends from the "Foundation" novels. The announcement builds on a March agreement between Tether and the city of Lugano, in which Ardoino said the second phase would focus on infrastructure, resilience, and local capacity development. The expansion signals Tether's push to diversify revenue and reduce dependence on its USDT stablecoin franchise, which dominates the stablecoin market. Key items to watch include the wallet's launch timeline, adoption metrics for the AI toolkit, and further details on how these products integrate with Tether's existing ecosystem.
