Stablecoin issuer Tether has reportedly made a substantial investment in crypto lending platform Ledn, committing up to $50 million at a $500 million valuation. The move signals growing confidence from a major player in digital assets toward the lending sector, as traditional finance institutions continue to explore opportunities within the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem. This investment reflects the ongoing trend of established crypto entities diversifying their portfolios and supporting infrastructure projects that provide financial services to the digital asset community.

Tether's move is indeed worth watching. Investing 50M into Ledn indicates that large funds still recognize the lending sector... But I'm a bit concerned, how much lifecycle is left for platforms like this in the current stage?

Tether is throwing money again, this time targeting lending. It seems that the stablecoin giant is also starting to feel anxious.

Is Tether stockpiling again? It seems that stablecoin issuers are now starting to play in venture capital. Investing 50 million still seems like a gamble on the lending niche... But honestly, this has been the case in the crypto world for the past few years. When big institutions move, others follow suit, which feels a bit unsustainable.

Tether is back to buying again, pouring 50 million into Ledn... Is this aiming to monopolize the lending sector or just a strong endorsement of the platform?

The funds from Tether Gold holders really have nowhere to spend, and whether Ledn can withstand the pressure this time is a question.

Tether is starting to distribute tokens again, this time targeting lending platforms, with a valuation of 50M for 500 million... Interesting, is this preparing for the next crash?
