🚀 Tether-Linked Super PAC Reports $300,000 Ad Spend Amid Zero Account Balance Fellowship, a super PAC reportedly associated with Tether, has revealed a $300,000 advertising expenditure to Nxum Group, a company co-founded by Tether US CEO Bo Hines. According to NS3.AI, the Federal Election Commission filing indicates that the spending was in support of Georgia Republican Clay Fuller. Despite this significant expenditure, Fellowship's current federal disclosures continue to show its accounts at zero, even after a prior announcement that it would be established with pledges totaling $100 million. #Tether#SuperPAC#AdSpend#NxumGroup#BoHines#FederalElectionCommission#GeorgiaRepublican#ClayFuller#Fellowship#PoliticalExpenditure#ZeroBalance#NS3AI

🚀 Tether-Linked PAC Makes Initial Expenditure Ahead of 2026 U.S. Midterm Elections A political action committee associated with Tether, Fellowship PAC, has made its first expenditure ahead of the 2026 U.S. Congressional midterm elections. According to Odaily, the PAC paid approximately $300,000 to Nxum Group, a company co-founded by Bo Hines, to provide advertising services for Republican candidates. Bo Hines currently serves as the head of Tether's U.S. operations and previously worked as a digital asset policy advisor in U.S. President Donald Trump's administration. Jesse Spiro, the chairman of Fellowship PAC, is also affiliated with Tether US. Public records indicate that Nxum Group was established by Bo Hines and his partners. This transaction coincides with the PAC's initial expenditure report submission to the U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC). Although Fellowship PAC has announced plans to invest up to $100 million in support of crypto-friendly candidates, its current account disclosures show nearly zero funds. Under U.S. campaign finance regulations, political committees can pay affiliated entities for services, provided they adhere to the "fair market price" principle. This has sparked discussions about potential conflicts of interest. Fellowship PAC has begun targeted advertising and candidate support in Republican elections, positioning itself as a new political influence tool for the crypto industry in the 2026 election cycle. However, questions remain regarding the transparency of its funding sources and operations. #Tether#FellowshipPAC#2026Midterms#USPolitics#CampaignFinance#CryptoPolitics#BoHines#RepublicanCandidates#PoliticalActionCommittee#ElectionAdvertising#CryptoInfluence#FEC#PoliticalFunding#ConflictOfInterest#NxumGroup

🚀 Tether CEO Advocates for Open AI Development Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has expressed his views on the development of artificial intelligence, stating that AI should be as open as freedom. According to Odaily, Ardoino criticized the centralized approach to AI development, describing it as a 'dead end.' In contrast to the closed AI systems being developed by major tech companies, Tether is exploring alternative methods through QVAC, which focuses on running AI models on local devices. This approach aims to give users control over their data and computing power, aligning with the crypto industry's core principle of self-custody, where users maintain autonomy over their data and computational resources. #Tether#CEO#AIdevelopment#openAI#freedom#centralizedAI#selfcustody#crypto#localdevices#dataprivacy
