Tether, the company behind the world’s largest stablecoin USDT, is poised to enter the burgeoning $25 billion cryptocurrency artificial intelligence sector. CEO Paolo Ardoino announced the move on X, detailing “Tether AI” as a “fully open-source AI runtime” designed for adaptability across various hardware and devices.
According to Ardoino’s post, Tether AI will operate without API keys or a central point of failure, emphasizing its modular and composable nature. Notably, it will be “WDK-infused,” enabling seamless integration of USDT and Bitcoin payments. The Wallet Development Kit (WDK), as Ardoino previously explained, is a software development kit that allows businesses and developers to incorporate non-custodial wallets for Bitcoin and USDT into various applications and platforms.
Tether’s dedicated website, Tether.ai, indicates that the AI platform will also integrate Keet, a peer-to-peer chat platform. However, further details regarding Tether’s AI initiative remain scarce.
Following the announcement, CoinGecko’s index of AI tokens showed no significant price movement, trading flat.
