【Trump: Will Impose 15% to 50% Simple Tariffs on Most Countries】

On the local time of the 23rd, US President Trump stated that he will impose 15% to 50% simple tariffs on most other countries in the world. Trump also said that the United States is conducting serious negotiations with the EU, and if they agree to open up to US companies, the US will allow them to pay lower tariffs.

【Tether CEO: Plans to Launch Institutional Stablecoin, US Market Progressing "Smoothly"】

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, in an interview with Bloomberg TV, said that the company's plan to enter the US institutional stablecoin market is "progressing smoothly". A week earlier, Ardoino attended the ceremony where President Trump signed the GENIUS Act, which established a federal regulatory framework for US stablecoins.

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

Notably, the GENIUS Act requires stablecoins to be fully backed by US dollars or similar liquid assets, and mandates annual audits for issuers with a market value exceeding $50 billion. Facing competition from stablecoins by traditional financial institutions like JPMorgan and Bank of America, Ardoino acknowledges that these competitors might "perform better in the short term" but emphasizes Tether's technological advantages and deeper market understanding.

Additionally, Tether recently hired Simon McWilliams as Chief Financial Officer to push for audits by the Big Four accounting firms. Ardoino stated that this is the company's "top priority". When asked if he would list the company like competitor Circle, he explicitly denied it.
