Happy Birthday Bitcoin!
On 31 October 2008, Satoshi published nine pages that explained Bitcoin to the world.
Today we’re explaining it to everyone else.
Two pizzas, 10,000 BTC, 21 million coins, and one key you never share. Everything you need to know, in a comic.
Happy 18th birthday, Bitcoin whitepaper.

Another extraordinary quarter for Tether.
$1.5 billion in quarterly profits. Nearly $8 billion in excess reserves. More than 700 million users worldwide.
These numbers tell a much bigger story. Tether is fundamentally reshaping global finance, expanding access to the U.S. dollar, and empowering hundreds of millions of people who have historically been underserved by the traditional financial system.
And we are just getting started. 🇺🇸

Tether just released its quarterly USDT attestation for Q3 2026.
Tether had a great third quarter of 2026, with ~1.5B in net operating profit. Tether’s reserve buffer continued to strengthen, nearly doubling to $7.95 billion from $4.1 billion at the end of Q2, an increase of today, without any doubt, the biggest financial inclusion success story in the history of humanity, with its user base reaching the new all-time-high of 700M+, across all emerging markets.
USDT has become a monetary social network, connecting people, families, communities and entire countries at the speed of light.
Highlights as of 30 September 2026:
~1.5B in net operating profits for Q3 2026.
~183.5B total issued USDT, end of Q3 2026.
~7.95B excess reserves, on top of the 100% reserves in liquid assets that back all issued tokens, end of Q3 2026.
Generating $1.5 billion in net operating profit while maintaining nearly $8.0 billion in excess reserves gives us a strong foundation for that work.
We are building Tether for the long term, with the liquidity to meet redemptions of any size and the financial strength to support infrastructure people can rely on amidst the chaotic geopolitical environment we live in. @tether

This is what responsible leadership looks like. In moments of crisis, decisive action matters. Protecting users, preserving trust, and safeguarding the broader digital asset ecosystem must always come first.
Proud of the Tether team for always stepping up when it matters most.

Tether froze more than 1.567B USDT related to a potential Binance exchange hack.
Protecting the industry and our partners is our main priority.
Stay safe everyone.

Senator Blumenthal's "analysis" of Tether's sanctions report misses that, since 2023, Tether froze on average 4 weeks prior to OFAC & NBCTF official sanction designation and for 99% of the times Tether froze the reported addresses before Chainalysis labelled them.
Tether actions led to Iran-linked stablecoin volumes declining by 94%.
The reality shows that Tether acts fast on new threats thanks to its law enforcement partnerships. @tether

BREAKING: Aave to launch specialized RWA lending market on Avalanche
Aave’s new RWA Hub will allow institutions to use tokenized financial assets as collateral to borrow stablecoins without selling their underlying positions.
At the center of the market will be Tether’s USAT, urce of dollar liquidity and one of its first major institutional use cases.
Aave V4 has already attracted $20M+ in deposits on Avalanche since launching just two months ago. The RWA Hub now extends that infrastructure into tokenized financial markets, where assets can be financed, borrowed against, and put to work onchain.

Tokenization is only as powerful as the liquidity behind it.
USAT was built to be the digital dollar infrastructure for the next generation of financial markets. Excited to see that vision coming to life on Avalanche.

Every innovation in payments has naturally led to an evolution in the underlying trust model. And the arrival of agentic commerce is now challenging the existing trust frameworks.
What's exciting about the launch today is not that it is just another faucet. At work is a combination of identity, faucet infrastructure, and tokenized money from separate teams for a unified outcome - a proof-of-human gated faucet for stablecoins.
The same primitives are currently being scaled to allow machine-speed commerce with a root of trust. And faucets like this one could be the first port of call for funding your agents wallet.
Congrats to @tether and @selfxyz teams for this innovative partnership.
