Tether's market value will increase by nearly $50 billion in 2024, and its investments, product line, and political influence across various industries will also be enhanced. Tether appears to have slowed some of its lobbying this year, spending just $360,000 on FTI government matters, according to OpenSecrets. That's about a 71% decrease from $1.24 million in 2023; $480,000 in 2022. Tether hired DMM Consulting, a lobbying firm in 2023 that also lobbied on behalf of El Salvador's Bukele government.
