Key points:
- CEO Paolo Ardoino announced Tether's entry into the $25 billion cryptocurrency AI market.

- The AI platform will integrate Keet, a peer-to-peer communication platform, although details of the initiative remain limited.
In a post on X by CEO Paolo Ardoino, Tether is preparing to enter the $25 billion crypto AI market.
Ardoino explained that Tether AI is a “fully open AI runtime that can adapt and evolve on any hardware and device, no need for API keys, no single point of failure, fully modular and composable, with WDK support for USDT and Bitcoin payments.”
The WDK is the Tether Wallet Development Kit, a modular set of developer tools that allows companies and developers to integrate non-custodial wallets and interfaces for Bitcoin and USDT into any app, website, or device, as Ardoino explained in a post on X in November.
On its Tether.ai website, the company says its AI platform will integrate Keet, a peer-to-peer chat platform. There is no further information about Tether's AI initiative at this time.
CoinGecko AI Token Index remains unchanged following announcement.
