The company casts the stake as a move to equip banks with compliant blockchain rails across Latin America.

Overview

  • Tether confirmed an investment in Parfin, a Latin American digital-asset infrastructure firm, to expand institutional use of USDT.
  • The companies said the deal aims to help banks move operations onto blockchain rails and use USDT for cross-border payments, real‑world asset tokenization, trade finance and other credit markets.
  • Financial and structural terms of the investment were not disclosed by Tether or Parfin.
  • Parfin offers institutional tools for custody, tokenization and blockchain-based settlement tailored to regulated, large-value transactions in the region.
