Tether and Fasanara Launch $400 Million Private Credit Fund With $3 Billion Target

September 9, 2026, 3:21 PM UTC (45 days ago) · 1 source · Summarized by CryptoBipto

Tether, the company behind the USDT stablecoin, has partnered with Fasanara Capital to launch a private credit fund with $400 million in initial capital. The fund reportedly aims to grow to $3 billion in assets under management.

WHY IT MATTERS

Tether is the company that issues USDT, the most widely used stablecoin in crypto. A stablecoin is a cryptocurrency designed to maintain a steady value, usually pegged to the US dollar. Tether earns significant revenue by investing the reserves that back USDT — think of it like a bank that holds customer deposits and earns interest on them. This news shows Tether using some of that revenue to move into private credit, which is essentially lending money to businesses outside the traditional banking system. For crypto newcomers, this is notable because it shows how a major crypto company is expanding into traditional finance, blurring the lines between the two worlds.

Tether, best known as the issuer of the USDT stablecoin, has entered the private credit space through a partnership with Fasanara Capital, a London-based alternative asset manager.
