Cantor Fitzgerald agreed to acquire 5% stake in Tether for up to $600M: Report

The report comes five days after Cantor Fitzgerald's CEO Howard Lutnick was appointed as President-Elect Donald Trump’s Secretary of Commerce.

Financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald reportedly agreed to a 5% stake in stablecoin issuer Tether in the past year, which could position the company to receive more political support from the incoming Trump administration.

The 5% stake was reportedly valued up to $600 million when the agreement was made, WSJ said in the Nov. 24 report, citing information from business associates familiar with the matter.
