Tether also kicked off a recruitment drive, seeking a head of AI research and development as well as an AI engineer role on its website. The company is best known for its stablecoin, a crypto token pegged to the dollar with a $105 billion market cap.

The division will "redefine AI boundaries and democratize privacy-preserving open AI technology," CEO Paolo Ardoino said in Tuesday's announcement.
