PANews reported on October 17th that Bloomberg News reported that Cantor Fitzgerald LP is facing immense pressure to pitch Tether Holdings to investors at a potential $500 billion valuation. If Tether achieves its target and raises approximately $15 billion, the investment bank's stake in Tether could be worth as much as $25 billion. More than a year ago, the New York investment bank purchased convertible bonds from Tether for over $600 million, which gave it a 5% stake. A successful transaction would not only enrich Tether's founders but also generate substantial gains for Cantor, potentially reaping tens of billions of dollars in returns. The terms of the share sale are still in flux. It is unclear what valuation the transaction might achieve, or whether the bank would be allowed to convert the bonds into equity and sell some of its holdings to new investors.PANews reported on October 17th that Bloomberg News reported that Cantor Fitzgerald LP is facing immense pressure to pitch Tether Holdings to investors at a potential $500 billion valuation.

XRP ETF Becomes 2025’s Biggest U.S. Fund Launch

The post XRP ETF Becomes 2025’s Biggest U.S. Fund Launch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Altcoins 19 September 2025 | 17:07 Wall Street’s appetite for crypto-based funds was on full display this week as Rex-Osprey brought two new products to market.

Both of its new products are tied to Cayman Islands subsidiaries and operate under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas called the surge in activity “a good omen” for the wave of altcoin ETFs expected later in the year, suggesting that investor interest is only just beginning.

Dogecoin also eased, sliding 2% to $0.2735 after briefly touching a seven-month peak of $0.2879. The divergence highlights an emerging trend in crypto markets: while institutions appear eager…
