Tether and Lao licensed digital asset exchange Bitqik announced a new partnership. The goal of this collaboration is very clear — to promote financial education about Bitcoin and stablecoins.

What exactly will they do? Both parties plan to launch a series of online courses, while also deeply empowering through the Bitqik Academy educational platform. But the offline activities are the highlight. They will hold quarterly offline events in major Lao cities such as Vientiane, Bokeo, Vang Vieng, and Luang Prabang, showcasing the practical applications of stablecoins like USDT to students, communities, and entrepreneurs.

From learning to practice, from online to offline, this combined approach covers a significant scope. According to the plan, by 2026, the project's audience size will surpass an important milestone, indicating that the penetration and awareness of stablecoins in Southeast Asia will see a substantial increase. This is quite an interesting move for Tether's expansion in emerging markets.
