Tether Partners with Georgian University to Educate on Blockchain and Cryptocurrency

Tether, the issuer of the stablecoin USDT, has partnered with Business & Technology University (BTU) in Georgia to promote blockchain and cryptocurrency education. The program aims to equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to thrive in the emerging digital economy. Tether will assist in developing educational courses covering stablecoins, bitcoin, and cryptocurrencies. However, Tether has faced criticism over its lack of transparency and failure to conduct a proper audit. The emphasis on education may sound progressive and noble, but Tether's credibility remains in question.
