Teda Investment Whop, is it really 'expanding payments' or quietly reshaping the power structure of stablecoins?
Many people only see one statement:
Tether invests in Whop, expanding USDT payments.
But what is truly alarming is not that 'the payment scale can reach 3 billion dollars',
but that stablecoins are starting to bypass exchanges and directly seize real trading entrances.
Whop covers 144 countries, 18 million users, self-custodied payments,
what does this mean?
It means that for the first time, people who encounter USDT,
may not need exchanges at all, nor DeFi.
The role of stablecoins is undergoing three fundamental changes:
1️⃣ From 'transaction medium' → 'default settlement currency'
2️⃣ From 'crypto circle tool' → 'global digital cash'
3️⃣ From 'relying on platforms' → 'defining platform rules in reverse'
More critically:
When payments, wallets, SDKs, and users are all natively bound to stablecoins,
who still cares whether you use a particular exchange?
This is not an ordinary investment,
but the first large-scale direct assault of stablecoins on real-world payment scenarios.
Only one question remains:
👉 When USDT becomes 'the global default digital cash', which side are you on?
