Tether Holdings Ltd, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin USDT, is actively exploring lending opportunities for commodities traders. The company has engaged in discussions with multiple firms about offering US dollar-denominated loans to support international trade.

Tether’s entry into the sector aims to streamline credit provision for commodities such as oil, metals, and food, bypassing regulatory constraints faced by banks. This approach could lead to faster transactions and more flexibility in trade finance, especially for companies operating in regions affected by economic sanctions​.

The potential benefits for traders are substantial, particularly for companies in sanctioned regions, such as Russia and Venezuela, where stablecoins like USDT are already being used in cross-border transactions​.
