AI Summary

Tether hired KPMG to audit its reserves, confirming that the company holds about 150 tons of gold backing its gold‑linked token and that its total reserves exceed liabilities by $6.8 billion. CEO Paolo Ardoino said the audit involved physically moving the bullion in a Swiss cavern and that the findings dispel doubts about the backing of the $183 billion USDT stablecoin supply. With the audit completed, Ardoino indicated the firm will now focus on expanding into artificial intelligence, signaling a shift away from the “crypto” label. The KPMG seal of approval is expected to reduce scrutiny over Tether’s reserve adequacy.
