Tether, the leading stablecoin issuer, has revealed its plans to explore opportunities in commodity trading after securing massive profits, according to a Monday <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-14/tether-talking-to-commodity-traders-about-lending-its-crypto-billions-usdt?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&amp;utm_content=crypto&amp;utm_medium=social">report</a> by Bloomberg.&nbsp;
The flagship stablecoin issuer is mulling over lending to several firms in the above-mentioned sector. The USDT stablecoin, which boasts a market cap of nearly $120 billion, could be potentially integrated into traditional commodity trading.&nbsp;
Physical commodity traders typically rely on revolving credit facilities in order to be able to access capital in a reliable fashion. This helps them mitigate possible risks given that commodity prices tend to be quite volatile. Traders tend to rely on banks for securing necessary funding, but non-bank financial institutions have also emerged as increasingly important players.&nbsp;
Tether reportedly wants to position itself as a more efficient lender since it would be able to offer faster payments due to a looser regulatory environment. &nbsp; &nbsp;
For now, the company is just "defining the strategy," according to Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino. He believes that this field has very high potential.&nbsp;

Tether has been routinely sharing very impressive quarterly profits. In the first half of the year, it managed to secure a net profit of a staggering $5.2 billion.&nbsp;
The company has been using these profits to explore various industries, including artificial intelligence (AI).&nbsp;
Last month, the stablecoin behemoth also made an investment in prominent agriculture company Adecoagro, which owns plenty of farmland across Latin America.&nbsp;&nbsp;
