The post Tether could pause raise if $500B target misses demand appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Tether is again in focus after a report said it may delay a planned fundraising round if investors do not support a $500 billion valuation.  Summary Tether is seeking investor commitments for a fundraising round at a reported $500 billion valuation.

A Friday report said Tether is pushing investors to commit to a fundraising round at a $500 billion valuation within the next two weeks.

The reported $500 billion valuation would place Tether above every US bank except JPMorgan Chase. JPMorgan’s market value stands near $794.55 billion, while Bank of America’s market value is about $352.86 billion, based on figures cited in the report.

The fundraising talks show how Tether is trying to expand beyond stablecoins into several other business areas. In September 2025, Bloomberg reported that Tether was exploring a raise of up to $20 billion. That report said the company was looking at a private placement for about a 3% stake, with Cantor Fitzgerald acting as lead adviser.…
