Tether Wallet Bags $1B in Bitcoin – An Eightfold Irony 😂💼

They got a fancy license from the Singapore central bank (a year ago! Very established!) and teamed up with StraitsX. The goal? Let you spend USDT (issued by Tether – yes, that Tether 😬) and USDC (Circle Internet, which sounds suspiciously like a spy ring) on boring things like groceries.
