Tether is determined to whitewash! What about Sun Ge? 】
Tether recently appointed Bo Hines, former Executive Director of the White House Crypto Council, as its digital asset and US strategic advisor, marking the company's determination to strengthen regulatory compliance and accelerate its US market layout.
Hines was a college football player, with a Bachelor of Political Science from Yale University and a Doctor of Law from Wake Forest. After failing to run for Congress twice in 2022 and 2024, he joined the Trump administration in January 2025 to promote cryptocurrency innovation and stablecoin regulations. After resigning in mid August, Hines chose Tether with the aim of utilizing its political network to optimize the company's strategy.
It is worth mentioning that Hines was born in 1995! I can't help but feel that being born in the United States is a huge dividend. Even post-95s in the United States have started to enter the mainstream stage (such as Meta's Alex Wang, who was born in 1997)
Due to long-term regulatory pressure on Tether, the issue of reserve transparency and anti money laundering has been heavily criticized. Under Trump's crypto friendly policies, Tether reinvests nearly $5 billion in US infrastructure and seeks domestic stablecoin issuance. Hines' White House experience fits perfectly, helping to lobby bills such as the GENIUS Act and enhance compliance frameworks.
The future impact is far-reaching: Hines can strengthen Tether's interaction with the SEC and CFTC, accelerate US expansion, alleviate historical controversies, and enhance global dominance (with a market value of over $167 billion). But the political background may become a double-edged sword, and if policies change, it may amplify risks. Overall, this transformation of Tether from an "offshore" to a local compliance giant is helping with encryption.
The determination to comply with regulations can be seen from Tether's launch of compliant chains such as Plasma. The question is, the USDT that is mainly stored in gray and black production is mainly in Tron. Will this part be stopped from being supported like USDC?
Would USDT be willing to give up such a large piece of cake? If given up, where should Tron's chain go?
