Tether and Taipei University promote blockchain and digital asset education.

The National Taipei University of Technology (NTUT) has formed a new partnership with crypto firm Tether in an effort to boost its blockchain and digital asset education.

On June 19, the university, also known as Taipei Tech, said that its collaboration with Tether will help “improve” education on the topic in the region and equip students with “general knowledge and practical skills” in technology.

It also focuses on raising general awareness of cryptocurrencies such as Tether's native asset stable coin (USDT) and digital currencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) and stablecoins.

First, the program “Blockchain & Digital Asset” was launched at NTUT's College of Management with more than 110 students enrolled. “It has quickly become one of the most popular offerings in NTUT's Department of Information and Finance,” the university said.

According to the announcement, the success of the program has led to the interest of other universities in offering similar gifts to Teter.

“The program is designed to prepare students to participate responsibly and professionally in this rapidly growing field…”

Cointelegraph reached out to Tether and NTUT for additional comments on the development.

With a “well-rounded” understanding of the technology's digital assets, Tether and NTUT plan to have students independently analyze and assess the accuracy of information about cryptocurrencies floating around.

“This will help them identify fraud and recognize potential risks,” he said.

You will learn more about the dynamics of speculative assets, fraud avoidance, compliance procedures and potential industry jobs.

According to Tether CEO Paolo Arduino, this initiative aims to enable students to ultimately increase the adoption of digital assets in Taiwan.

“Focusing on interdisciplinary knowledge, [we aim] To work hand-in-hand with these prestigious universities to empower the next generation of blockchain professionals in the region.

Stablecoins have always been a hot topic of discussion in the crypto industry, Tether (USDT) is no exception.

On June 18, the digital asset exchange Apple announced that it will delist a handful of stablecoins for European users, including Tether (USDT), Dai (DAI), Frax Protocol (FRAX), Gemini Dollar (GUSD), Pax Dollar (USDP). and TrueUSD (TUSD), to stay compliant with local regulations.

On the other hand, recent data has shown that the volume of stablecoin transactions has increased 16x in the last 4 years, which some industry analysts see as a sign of growing crypto adoption and industry maturity.

Jeremy Allaire, the CEO of the circle that runs stablecoin USDC, is more “optimistic” about crypto and stablecoins than ever, admitting that stablecoins will make up 10% of money in the next decade.
