Tether has signed an agreement with the government of Guinea to support economic growth and digital transformation through blockchain and peer-to-peer technology. The memorandum of understanding focuses on education, innovation, and sustainable technology, with Tether aiming to promote blockchain adoption in both public and private sectors. The partnership may also involve the City of Science and Innovation in Guinea.
Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, stated that the initiative reflects the company's commitment to helping nations build strong digital economies. He emphasised that blockchain solutions could play a key role in Guinea's technological development, paving the way for economic progress.
Tether has been actively expanding its global presence through similar partnerships. It recently relocated its headquarters to El Salvador, the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, and has also collaborated with governments and organisations in Switzerland, Turkey, Uzbekistan, and Georgia. Additionally, the company has launched educational programmes in several countries to encourage broader blockchain adoption.
