[Tether's $500 Billion Valuation Fundraising May Face Cold Reception or Delays] Odaily Planet Daily reports that Tether is encouraging investors to participate in a new round of fundraising at an estimated valuation of approximately $500 billion. If market demand falls short of expectations, the fundraising process may be delayed. According to reports, the company has been exploring fundraising plans since last year, but some investors remain cautious about the valuation. If this valuation is achieved, Tether's scale would surpass most U.S. banks, second only to JPMorgan Chase. Previously, the company discussed raising approximately $15 billion to $20 billion through private placements, but the related plans remain uncertain. (Cointelegraph)
