[Trump: Will impose simple tariffs of 15% to 50% on most countries]

According to reports, on the 23rd local time, U.S. President Trump stated that he would impose simple tariffs ranging from 15% to 50% on most other countries in the world. Trump also mentioned that the U.S. is in serious negotiations with the European Union, and if they agree to open up to American businesses, the U.S. will allow them to pay lower tariffs.

[Tether CEO: Plans to Launch Institutional Stablecoin, Progress in Entering the US Market is "Going Smoothly"]

According to Bitpush news, Tether's CEO Paolo Ardoino stated in an interview with Bloomberg Television that the company's plan to enter the U.S. institutional stablecoin market is "progressing smoothly." The week prior, Ardoino attended the ceremony where President Trump signed the "GENIUS Act," which establishes a federal regulatory framework for stablecoins in the U.S.

Ardoino revealed that Tether plans to announce specific plans for the U.S. institutional market in the coming months. In April of this year, the company stated that it would launch a new type of stablecoin aimed at institutional clients, focusing on fast settlement services. Currently, Tether's USDT is the largest stablecoin in the world, with a total market capitalization of $162 billion.

It is worth noting that the "GENIUS Act" requires stablecoins to be fully backed by US dollars or similar liquid assets, and imposes annual audit requirements on issuers with a market capitalization exceeding $50 billion. In the face of competition from traditional financial institutions like JPMorgan and Bank of America, which are about to launch stablecoins, Ardoino acknowledges that these competitors "may perform better in the short term," but emphasizes that Tether has a technological advantage and a deeper understanding of the market.

In addition, Tether recently appointed Simon McWilliams as Chief Financial Officer to drive the work towards obtaining an audit from one of the Big Four accounting firms. Ardoino stated that this is the company's "top priority." When asked whether they would go public like competitor Circle, he categorically denied it.
