Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino says the stablecoin issuer has no intention of going public, just days after rival Circle made its debut on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
“No need to go public,” Ardoino said on June 7. Ardoino also addressed valuation speculation raised by Artmesis CEO Jon Ma, who claimed that if Tether, which is behind the stablecoin USDT (USDT), were to go public, it would rank as the 19th largest company globally with a valuation of $515 billion, larger than multinational giants like Costco and Coca-Cola.
$515 billion is a “beautiful number,” but not high enough
While Ardoino called the $515 billion valuation a “beautiful number,” he said it might actually be too low. “Maybe a bit bearish considering our current (and increasing) Bitcoin + gold treasury, yet I’m very humbled,” Ardoino said.
Prominent Bitcoin advocates Anthony Pompliano and Jack Mallers both suggested that the company could one day reach a $1 trillion valuation.
