Tether and Fasanara Capital have launched a private credit fund backed by $400 million from the two firms that aims to raise as much as $3 billion from institutional investors.

The evergreen fund, called StableFund, will use Tether’s USDT (USDt) as settlement infrastructure for short-duration, asset-backed lending to businesses and consumers through fintech platforms in more than 60 countries, the companies said Wednesday.
