On February 4, the Financial Times reported that stablecoin issuer Tether has reduced its funding target from a prior $15 billion–$20 billion range to $5 billion, as investors have raised questions about its $500 billion valuation. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino told an interviewer the $15 billion–$20 billion figure was a “misunderstanding”—it was only the maximum amount the company was willing to sell, not a formal target. He stressed Tether is highly profitable and “very satisfied” even without selling equity. Ardoino also likened Tether to an AI firm, saying: “AI companies generate the same profit as us—except there’s a negative sign in front.” The stablecoin issuer reportedly earned ~$10 billion last year, mostly from returns on its held assets, though 2025 profit is expected to fall by roughly 25% year-over-year. Earlier reports noted that in September 2025, Tether sought to raise up to $20 billion at a $500 billion valuation.

Feb 4 — Per HyperInsight monitoring (via Telegram: https://t.me/HyperInsight), Taiwanese artist Huang Licheng (nicknamed “Brother Ma”) has deposited ~$13.16 million into crypto platform Hyperliquid since October last year, with no withdrawals in that period. His current account balance is just ~$60,000, and nearly every incoming fund has ended in a loss. His latest deposit (~$250,000) was made on Feb 2. He then opened and continuously added to leveraged long positions in ETH and HYPE, which triggered liquidation today. This marks an over $50.3 million drawdown from his account’s September peak of ~$50.39 million. Excluding a small withdrawal, most of the decline stems from reversed unrealized gains and liquidation losses. Huang, who previously profited from blue-chip NFTs, has been active on Hyperliquid since mid-2025. Since October 2025, he has faced successive massive liquidations, shrinking his total holdings from over $100 million to just tens of thousands of dollars now.
