Stablecoin Issuer Tether Launches Educational Program to Promote Crypto Adoption in Türkiye — TradingView News
Stablecoin issuer Tether has partnered with a technology and strategy firm specializing in virtual assets and cryptocurrencies to develop educational initiatives in Turkey. The collaboration aims to equip people with the knowledge to navigate the digital age.
MoU to promote cryptocurrency education
According to the press release, the new agreement reflects Tether’s broader aspiration for Tether EDU, a global initiative dedicated to making education accessible and limitless. The MoU outlined plans to develop comprehensive programs that introduce private and public stakeholders in Turkey to the benefits of blockchain and peer-to-peer technology.
These programs are said to leverage BTguru’s connections to facilitate discussions with financial institutions, explore real-world asset tokenization, and evaluate regional payment networks using BTguru Core.
Tether’s education initiative extends beyond Turkey. The USDT issuer is reportedly engaging a regulated digital asset infrastructure platform in the MENA region to improve digital asset education across the Middle East.
Expanding educational efforts
Turkey ranks as the fourth largest country in cryptocurrency transaction volume, according to the International Trade Administration US Department of Commerce, as cited by Tether. Additionally, Chainalysis reports that Turkey has received approximately $170 billion in cryptocurrency transactions in the past year, driven by the need to counteract currency devaluation.
