Tether’s contribution to tokenization advancement

To support this initiative, Tether decided to participate in an investment round to assist Quantoz Payments, with the move falling in line with the company’s commitment to facilitating innovation and compliant financial solutions worldwide. When commenting on the announcement, representatives from Tether mentioned that supporting Quantoz and delivering technology solutions such as Hadron by Tether allows the company to reinforce its mission of scaling reliable, compliant financial tools that meet the needs, demands, and preferences of users and increases trust in the digital landscape.

By investing in initiatives like Quantoz, Tether works towards advancing the digital economy and delivering economic opportunity and broader financial inclusion. When it comes to its solution, the company offers Hadron by Tether, which is an intuitive platform for issuing and managing the life cycle of digital tokenized assets with a focus on offering a comprehensive suite of tools for compliance, KYC, AML, Know-Your-Transaction, risk management, and secondary market ecosystem monitoring.

Furthermore, Quantoz Payments is not the first initiative in which Tether invests, with the company offering a USD 3 million investment to Kem to scale its presence in the P2P payments sector. The capital injection was set to be used to facilitate the adoption of USD₮, a digital currency designed to augment access to digital financial systems across the region. In addition, the move aligned with Tether’s objective of increasing financial accessibility and supporting Kem’s role in providing real-time payment solutions.
