Tether CEO: Supporting the deployment plan of solar panels in Africa, which can be paid for with local currency, Bitcoin LN and USDT
On March 2nd, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino posted on platform X stating that by 2023, there will be 600 million people in Africa without electricity. Imagine a small pavilion in Africa equipped with solar panels at the top, capable of charging hundreds of high-performance batteries and providing monthly subscription services to local communities. Payments can be made using local currency, Bitcoin Lightning Network (LN), or USDT. Currently, they are building and deploying 10 thousand devices which will then expand to one hundred thousand units and eventually become the largest distribution network for any goods and services. They aim to educate Africans on how to use Bitcoin and USDT savings by providing high-quality educational materials and courses as well as superior scalable technology empowering hundreds of thousands of villages and billions of people. Tether is pushing forward with related deployment plans in the African market.

BUZZ - Boosted by market sentiment from Bolsonaro’s strong performance, Brazilian ADR prices rise
October 5 – As Brazil's right-wing senator Flávio Bolsonaro outperformed expectations in the first round of the presidential elections on Sunday, shares of Brazilian companies listed in the U.S. rose in pre-market trading (link). Bolsonaro held a narrow lead over the incumbent president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, with both set to compete in a runoff on October 25. The senator is the son of right-wing former president Jair Bolsonaro. “Bolsonaro's stronger-than-expected performance, coupled with a rightward shift in Congress, should support Brazil’s benchmark stock index Ibovespa and put downward pressure on long-term yields,” said Andrés Abadía, Chief Latin America Economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics. Shares of state-owned oil company Petrobras (PBR.N) rose 10.4%, while Latin America's largest private bank Itau Unibanco (ITUB.N) climbed 11.2%. Banco Bradesco (BBD.N) increased 10.8%, and aircraft manufacturer Embraer (ERJ.N) gained 6.3%. Brazilian e-commerce and fintech company MercadoLibre (BBD.N) and digital bank Nu Holdings (NU.N) rose 6.8% and 10.4% respectively. The iShares MSCI Brazil ETF (EWZ.P) was up 11.6%. As of the previous trading session, Brazil’s benchmark Bovespa Index (.BVSP) had gained over 19% year-to-date.
