Mr Farage publicly promoted Tether, the cryptocurrency Mr Harborne is a shareholder in.
In an interview with Nick Ferrari on LBC in September, Mr Farage said of Tether: “We should hang on to this and wait till they mature and secondly, Nick, I’m going to go tomorrow to say this, you know, Tether is a stable coin.
“Stable coins are the way which money goes from conventional currencies through into cryptocurrencies and back again. Tether, about to be valued as a $500bn company. You know, stable coins, crypto, this world is enormous and I’ve been urging for years that London should embrace it.”

Key Takeaways
- Tether initially aimed to raise $15–20 billion in fresh capital while targeting a $500 billion valuation in 2025.
- A 23% drop in net profit to $10 billion, combined with rising investor caution, forced the firm to scale back its fundraising ambitions.
- The once-hyped fundraising quietly lost momentum and appears to have collapsed amid broader crypto market turmoil.
Tether, issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin USDT, announced in September 2025 plans to raise $15–20 billion via a private placement, aiming for a valuation near $500 billion.
By early 2026, these ambitious plans had faltered amid investor skepticism and market volatility.
Investors Back Away From Tether’s Massive Valuation
