Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan believes stablecoin issuer Tether could become the world’s most profitable company if emerging markets shift to using USDT as a primary currency. In a new Bitwise blog note, Hougan says that Tether already holds a near-total share of the stablecoin market in many non-Western countries. “But Tether is targeting a very large market. It has a nearly 100% share of the stablecoin market in non-Western countries. There’s a chance that many emerging market countries will convert from primarily using their own currencies to using USDT. If that happens, Tether could end up managing trillions of dollars and capturing all of the interest.” At current rates, Hougan projects that if Tether can reach $3 trillion in assets, its profits could surpass Saudi Aramco’s record $120 billion in 2024. “For context: In 2024, Saudi Aramco turned in the most profitable year in corporate history, earning $120 billion.

Decentralized finance (DeFi) continues to reinvent how capital flows across the internet, offering alternatives to traditional financial products with programmable, transparent, and borderless structures. Among the most impactful innovations are fixed-rate lending and yield tokenization—two mechanisms that not only address long-standing inefficiencies in DeFi but also open new horizons for liquidity, risk management, and income generation. In this article, we’ll explore how fixed-rate lending and yield tokenization work, why they matter, and where these innovations may lead the next wave of DeFi adoption. The Rise of Fixed-Rate Lending in DeFi Most DeFi lending platforms—such as Compound or Aave—offer variable interest rates. While flexible, these rates fluctuate based on supply-demand dynamics, making it difficult for borrowers and lenders to plan with certainty. Fixed-rate lending solves this problem by locking in interest rates for a specified period. Borrowers gain predictable repa...

However, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s partnership with Chainlink to bring government data on-chain remains a bullish signal for LINK experts. Further, Institutional adoption and CCIP growth continue to be a driver for Chainlink price forecasts to rise. LINK’s one-year surge coincides with broader crypto strength. For instance, Bitcoin and other tokens have also rallied in 2025, but Chainlink has notably outpaced the market. Additionally, the Chainlink- US Commerce deal cements Chainlink’s status as a trusted oracle for bringing real‑world data into crypto, increasing the institutional interest in Chainlink and its native cryptocurrency.
