Tether entered the top five most active investors in the crypto market in the first half of 2026, according to analysts at CryptoRank.
During the first six months of the year, the company participated in 17 investment rounds — the same number of deals it completed throughout all of 2025. Among its notable investments were participation in Replit’s $400 M funding round, as well as investments in projects Whop and Gold.com.
Tether is using revenue generated by the USDT stablecoin to expand its presence across the ecosystem, investing in projects focused on AI, payments, and infrastructure.
This pace of investment reflects the growing role of major corporate players in funding crypto startups. Analysts note that by deal count in the first half of the year, Tether ranked among the leading crypto investors.
