Have you seen the news? Giancarlo Devasini—this guy who revolutionized the stablecoin world with Tether—has just pulled an interesting move in Italy. Corriere di Torino is talking about it today—the crypto lord who bought into Juventus. It’s a pretty wild scenario.

So for those who aren’t following too closely, Devasini isn’t a newcomer. He’s a former plastic surgeon who built an empire in crypto, and now you find him in football. Through Tether, his company based in Salvador, he acquired about 5% of Juve for 47 million euros. Not a small entry.

Tether is the monster of stablecoins—we’re talking about $141 billion in volume and more than 350 million users. It’s become so huge that the company even holds more U.S. bonds than some countries. Giancarlo Devasini, 61 years old, the fourth-richest person in Italy with a net worth of more than 9 billion—he clearly knows how to play the game.

What interests me is that Devasini stays discreet despite his power. In Lugano, he rents just a three-room apartment for 1,400 euros per month—he almost never gives interviews. But now, he symbolically returns to Turin, his hometown, by putting his weight behind Juventus. It’s an interesting strategy for someone who usually operates from the shadows.

And look at who’s supporting Tether now—Howard Lutnick, former U.S. Secretary of Commerce under Trump, invested 600 million in convertible bonds. The company also put 775 million into Rumble. Giancarlo Devasini is moving pieces on the chessboard, and it goes far beyond crypto. This is capital reinventing itself on a large scale.
