Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino took to Twitter to summarize the company’s activities in 2023, especially after the new USDT issuance event.

I remember when I spoke for the first time in front of a public audience about @Tether_to .
It was March 2020, in London, at the CryptoCompare conference.

I never did public speaking before.
I was excited and quite shy…
